Large-scale project ($7M) for D&D of facilities at the INL Pit-9 complex, including a large (23,000 ft2), stressed-beam steel retrieval facility, a large (120,000 ft2), highly reinforced/high-density concrete nuclear waste processing facility with attached steel framed office/warehouse facility, and several acres of ancillary facilities. Debris and materials dispositioned during the project included over 12K tons of structural steel and re-bar, 5K cubic yards of concrete, and a large amount of processing equipment, HVAC systems, utility systems, and electrical switch gear. The project area was backfilled and graded to client specifications.

Decontamination and demolition of above- and below-grade components of the Kadlec Hospital's Emergency Decontamination Facility in Richland, WA. Removed radiological, hazardous, and asbestos materials from the building interior, demolished the above-grade structure, demolished the floor slab, and excavated the buried sumps, tanks, and ductwork without disrupting hospital operations. Hazardous and radiologically contaminated materials were packaged for transport and burial.
Assessment, characterization, demolition, asbestos and lead-based paint abatement, and site restoration of the 1 million ft2 Beacon manufacturing site covering 14 acres in Swannanoa, NC. Debris removal and disposal was complicated by asbestos and lead-based paint from the building that was co-mingled in the 57,000 tons of debris that was removed. The instability of the building following a fire made location, identification, and extraction of chemicals especially hazardous in certain areas of the site. Clean-up was complicated by 15,000 gallons of No. 6 fuel oil that were released during the fire.
Decommissioning of two Extremely Low Frequency Naval Transmitter Facilities in Clam Lake, WI, and Republic, MI. Each facility consisted of 7 buildings, 28 linear miles of antennae system, and 8 USTs. Assessed, cleaned, obtained permits, disposed of all UST tanks and ancillary equipment and restored the sites. Implemented various facility lay-up tasks including shutting down electrical power, draining fluids, and pumping out septic systems. Removed approximately 56 miles of antennae poles located throughout various terrains.
