Century City Update

The building separation at Century City is complete. Our selective cut, while an extremely complicated undertaking, proved rather successful. Extensive site work which included concrete slab removal – up to 8 feet thick in some areas – continues. Note the third picture below, the size of the concrete block in relation to the dump truck, this illustrates the magnitude of concrete we have encountered during removal.

Tower Automotive-Century City

Champion Environmental Services, Inc. is kicking off the redevelopment of Milwaukee’s shuttered Tower Automotive property as part of the city's $34.6 million plan to redevelop an 84-acre portion of the site. Most of the area is being transformed into a business park; Spanish train manufacturer Talgo is the first tenet to lease a portion of the development.

Century City will be the new venue for U.S. high-speed passenger rail manufacturing and assembly creating 125 direct jobs in Wisconsin and about 450 indirect jobs through vendors throughout the Midwest.

In January, Governor Doyle announced Wisconsin will receive $823 million in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds to build high-speed rail service to connect its centers of commerce. Wisconsin is receiving $810 million to build high-speed passenger rail service between Milwaukee and Madison, $12 million to improve service between Chicago and Milwaukee, and $1 million to make final determinations on a route between Wisconsin and the Twin Cities – the next step toward connecting Chicago, Milwaukee and Madison with the Twin Cities.

Champion Environmental Services, Inc. is proud to support this important economic initiative. Some pictures of our demolition work are below.
