How to Remove a Cadillac From the Middle of a Restaurant
A legendary restaurant chain decided to close its Houston location and had a very unique problem—they needed to remove a 1959 Cadillac that was mounted in the middle of their bar area.
The CSNA team held discussions with both the customer and the property landlord to determine the parameters by which the car could be removed. Based on these discussions a solution was executed that included:
Disassembly and removal of the entry glass revolving door
Removal of the steel beam support mount
Construction of a temporary support structure
Engineering and construction of a track system and ramp
The Results
Prevented further costs by removing the car without major construction to the building structure per the landlord
Met the customers deadline of removing the car within 24 hours of the project start
Maximized their project budget by serving as the single point of contact for all aspects of the project
