To date, crews working to transform the once-doomed Michigan Central Station into Ford’s Detroit campus have removed 227,000 gallons of water from the basement, 3,600 cubic yards of debris and reduced the long-vacant building’s saturation from 50 to 20 percent.
Officials with Ford, Ford Land and construction firm Christman-Brinker were on hand for a walkthrough and look at the progress Thursday, May 23 at the 600,000-square-foot building. Rich Bardelli, program manager for Ford Land, said that they still need to reduce the water saturation to 10 percent and that crews have taken the 3,600 cubic yards of debris out “one yard at a time.”
