After the implosion comes the clean-up operation.
After the 5 December 2010 implosion of the football stadium’s west grandstand, crews began clearing away the rubble to begin the $105 million renovation of TCU’s Amon G. Carter Stadium.
Ross Bailey, associate athletics director for operations, said the clean-up of more than 500 truckloads of debris should be completed in one more week. “We got our own little force of Tonka toys out there, all with a different function,” Bailey said.
Bailey said more than 90 percent of the debris from the implosion would be recycled into other projects worked on by the construction company.
Athletics director Chris Del Conte said HKS Sports & Entertainment, the construction company working on the stadium renovation, was also responsible for the construction of Cowboys Stadium and the American Airlines Center.
