Mascaro Corporation
Murrysville and Delmont, PA – 2002-2003 – $821,000
Scope of Work:
Expansion of Route 22 from two lanes to four lanes required the demolition of 25 buildings that had been constructed with asbestos-containing materials (ACM).
Neumeyer Environmental removed 1,700 cubic yards of ACM from the houses.
Major International Retailer (anonymity requested)
Atlanta, GA – 1996-1999 – $4,200,000
Scope of Work:
Neumeyer Environmental was contracted to perform asbestos abatement in a 160,000 square foot operating department store and complete decontamination of the store’s air handling system. The sensitive nature of the work and the requirement that it be executed adjacent to an active retail environment made safety and maintaining normal appearances paramount.
Neumeyer Environmental removed asbestos fireproofing and mechanical systems insulation and installed replacement materials. We also decontaminated the area above the ceilings and all of the building’s air handling system ductwork.
This project required 25,000 man-hours. There was no lost time or OSHA-recordable incident, and no accident or other incident. The work was performed off-hours to support ongoing operation of the store.
KBJ Incorporated
Brookpark, OH – 2008-2009 – $54,000
Scope of Work:
NASA was performing renovation of a building in their Brookpark complex in Ohio. The renovation required asbestos abatement prior to renovation of a portion of the building. Neumeyer Environmental performed abatement of floor tile and mastic material.
Industrial Company (anonymity requested)
Massena, NY – 1997 – $175,000
Scope of Work:
This project involved remediation and demolition of a 54,000 square foot, three-story building attached to an operating plant. The building contained carbon dust contaminated with PCB oil, asbestos pipe insulation and asbestos siding and roofing material. The exterior of the structure was coated with lead- and PCB-containing paint.
Asbestos-containing materials and 200 cubic yards of PCB-contaminated dust were removed from the building. The structure was demolished using a hydraulic shear mounted to a tracked excavator. This allowed the building to be dismantled without hot cutting, which would have vaporized the lead and PCB- contaminated paint on the steel structure and caused potential eposures. Seven hundred tons of steel structure and equipment were dismantled, removed, and disposed. Robotic technology was employed to dismantle the structure. This allowed the building to be disassembled while keeping the operator at a safe distance. The equipment suspended the large structure members (10,000 lbs) to allow cutting prior to lowering to the ground. The components were decontaminated, cut to size, segregated and packaged for shipment.
The smelting operation in the adjacent building continued to operate throughout the demolition.
H. J. Heinz Company
Pittsburgh, PA – 1986-2000 – $300,000
Scope of Work:
HJ Heinz was founded in Pittsburgh in the 1800’s and continues to maintain a strong presence in the area today. Neumeyer Environmental has a long standing relationship with Heinz in providing asbestos abatement on an on-call, as needed basis for well over a decade. This agreement was in place from 1986 through 2000.
As responsible environmental stewards, when Heinz maintenance managers encountered asbestos containing materials they requested abatement of the areas. Neumeyer Environmental performed appropriate remediation measures tailored to minimize disruption of ongoing operations at the facility and returned the areas to operation.
Additionally, the expansive facilities for their operations located on the north side of Pittsburgh required environmental renovations when they sold off or relocated select market sectors to other locations. Neumeyer Environmental provided blanket remediation services during their multi-year transition period.
The facilities were transferred to Del Monte Foods and Bay Valley Foods several years ago and Neumeyer Environmental now provides environmental services to the new owners.
