This aerial photo shows the PFP demolition zone (upper left) around PRF, which is the tall concrete structure.
Crews cut deactivated steam lines that once serviced PRF to ensure they aren’t pressurized during demolition.
Crews packaged and marked this filter box for easy removal during demolition. Removing some large objects from the building is safer during demolition rather than before demolition.
