The photos below show the concrete removal at LOX in October 2018 as part of the Phase 4 demolition.

An excavator is shown at the end of a large trench that has been dug several feet into the earth. On the left side of the trench, a large concrete slab is exposed. This is the concrete slab that is being demolished in Phase 4.

In this photo an excavator is shown digging into a large area several feet into the earth. Much of the concrete slab has been removed but chunks of concrete can be seen on the ground, as well as rebar.

In this photo an excavator is lifting a large block of concrete slab out of the ground.

In this photo, the concrete has been removed and the ground has been filled in and smoothed. A worker is shown spraying green hydroseed mix over the surface of the ground to promote revegetation.

An excavator with a special hammer attachment is shown breaking up the concrete retaining wall of the former Bravo Test Stand 3.
