Competitive Power Ventures (CPV) 

Johnstown, PA – 2016-2017  – $14,124,000.00

Scope of Work:
Neumeyer Environmental Services (NES) performed the Waste Management to include a wide variety of site work and environmental remediation tasks at a PADEP designated Act 2 site that had been the site of large scale tank farms, and more recently, a demolition and salvage yard.

Site Work:

To facilitate the work to be performed, NES improved and built site access and haul roads, installed concrete entrances to PennDOT’s road, mobilized a trailer complex, and installed laydown and parking areas.

    • Waste Management
      • Contaminated Soil and Buried Debris Disposal.
      • NES excavated over 200,000 tons of soil and buried debris from the site, coordinating with several trucking companies and four landfills to ensure timely and proper landfill disposal of the materials.
      • Hazardous Material, Chemical, and Water Inventory and Management:
      • NES inventoried and collected large quantities of chemicals from around the site, in addition to pumping product and liquid from storage tanks, piping, and excavations. All wastes were sampled, profiled, and properly disposed of at a number of licensed facilities.
    • Asbestos
      • NES performed asbestos abatement in several structures and mobile homes on the site.
      • Well Closure
      • NES closed 27 monitoring wells and one drinking water well on the site.
    • Storage Tank Closures
      • NES closed, removed, cleaned, and disposed of 10 underground storage tanks and 4 aboveground storage tanks.
    • Pipe Closures
      • NES drained over 10,000 linear feet of pipe remaining from the tank farms that previously were in place at the site. Approximately 7,000 feet of pipe was excavated, cut, and removed, and approximately 3,000 feet was filled with grout and closed in place because it ran thru a wetland.
    • Demolitions
      • NES demolished four buildings, and several mobile homes and trailers.

American Textile Company

Duquesne, PA – 2015-2018 – $ 3,206,000.00

Scope of Work:
Neumeyer Environmental provided excavation, backfill, and structural services to American Textile Company in Duquesne, PA. The industrial park was built on top of a slag that has expanded over time as water has seeped into it, causing the building supporting columns and floor in the factory to raise and become uneven. NES mitigated this by excavating all slag from underneath two sections of the factory and backfilling with stone.

NES installed a large containment around the entire work areas inside the factory to protect the factory workers and the manufacturing processes. We then installed temporary structural supports, removed the floor slabs, and excavated all slag out from underneath each area, which was as deep as 30 feet in areas.

Upon completion of excavation, NES backfilled the excavations with stone, compacting it to meet building design standards and ensuring its stability for the future. We completed the work by re-installing permanent support beams and replacing the floor slabs. NES performed this work in two phases in different areas of the plant to accommodate the factory’s production.

Throughout the work, NES performed dust and noise monitoring inside of the work area as well as outside of the work area in the factory to ensure both NES and American Textile workers were not exposed to hazardous levels of either.

I-79 and SR-22 Missing Ramps

Balfour Beatty Infrastructure
Robinson Township, PA – 2005-2008 – $525,000

Scope of Work:
PennDOT was adding ramps to the major interchange that had not been included during the initial road construction. Neumeyer Environmental was contracted to perform several activities in support of this project including management of acid mine drainage, noise monitoring, and to provide miscellaneous environmental support.

It was anticipated based on the project design that mine seals would need to be breached as part of the construction. Discharge of the acid mine drainage was expected when this breach occurred that could affect the local environment and water courses. Neumeyer Environmental evaluated the site characteristics and installed a pump and treat system to manage the drainage. The system included a 450 linear foot ditch that included a dispersion system with a neutralizing agent to treat the drainage.

Neumeyer Environmental also performed noise monitoring during the non-standard work hour activities. The project was bounded by several residential neighborhoods that were subject to disturbance by the construction activities. Neumeyer Environmental established baseline noise levels and performed bi-weekly monitoring to ensure noise levels were maintained within acceptable limits.

Waltz Mill Tools and Equipment Decommissioning

Westinghouse Electric Corporation
Madison, PA – 1999 – $500,000

Scope of Work:
Approximately 2,500 tons of obsolete tools and equipment used in service and repair of commercial nuclear power generation facilities required disposal.

Neumeyer Environmental segregated, sized, and packaged materials for off-site treatment and processing. We dismantled contaminated components and equipment, and segregated waste materials (metals, wood, plastics, etc.). Neumeyer Environmental shredded the materials to reduce shipping and disposal costs.

Valuable warehouse space was cleared of obsolete equipment. Removal of contaminated items from the warehouse reduced background radiation within the building.

GTS Duratech

Atlantic Research Corporation
Arlington, VA – 1992 – $50,000

Scope of Work:
Neumeyer Environmental was contracted to perform decontamination of a radiological contaminated facility with 54 actuator rod sleeves cast into the walls of a containment scheduled for removal.

Neumeyer Environmental was required to core-drill holes through high-strength concrete to remove the sleeves. Neumeyer Environmental developed a process to collect, filter, and recycle drilling lubricant to reduce the volume required to perform the work. Neumeyer Environmental was able to minimize the amount required to less than five gallons by employing this method. The lubrication equipment was solidified on site. The project involved multiple mixed waste streams, such as radiological contamination, asbestos, mercury, lead, and guano debris.

The project was completed on-time and within budget.
