Demolition of Tinley Park Mental Health Center

As an industry leader in demolition, we are excited to bring our expertise to this significant undertaking that will reshape the landscape of Tinley Park and provide valuable recreational space for the community.
Project Overview
This ambitious project involves the demolition of over 30 buildings spread across 280 acres of land that once housed the Tinley Park Mental Health Center. The expansive site, which has been sitting vacant since 2012, will be transformed into a state-of-the-art sports complex, offering new opportunities for local residents and families.

Our team at Omega will be responsible for:
- Abate & demolish all buildings on the property, which number more than 30
- Assisting with environmental cleanup efforts
- Preparing the site for future development
Environmental Considerations
Environmental safety is a top priority for this project. The site requires significant cleanup, including:
- Removal of asbestos and other hazardous materials from buildings
- Addressing ground contamination from the old hospital
- Potential removal of contaminated soil
Our team will work closely with environmental experts, including the former head of the Illinois EPA who has been hired to spearhead the cleanup process.
