RMI Titanium Company/Department of Defense

GTS Duratech
Ashtabula, OH – 1997 – $900,000

Scope of Work:
RMI is the leading supplier of specialty metals for the aerospace industry. During renovation of their Astabula facility, Neumeyer Environmental provided disassembly, size reduction and packaging of 3,000 tons of radiologically contaminated machinery that had manufactured projectiles of depleted uranium. The machinery included a 4,000-ton capacity hydraulic press, associated feed and run-out cooling tables, several smaller hydraulic presses, and six preheat furnaces. The furnaces contained radiologically contaminated asbestos refractory and insulation materials.

Neumeyer Environmental disassembled the equipment and properly disposed of the regulated materials. This facility remains in commercial use.

PennDOT SR 22 Road Widening Section B09

Golden Triangle Construction
Pittsburgh, PA – 2007-2008 – $394,000

Scope of Work:
Neumeyer Environmental was contracted to manage contaminated soils that had been identified in a former auto salvage yard within the roadway widening and expansion project. The adjacent streambed had been contaminated as well and required remediation to remove contaminated sediments, enclose the stream in a box culvert and perform minor relocation in accordance with PADEP requirements. Neumeyer Environmental also provided sampling and analysis in support of the work.

Neumeyer Environmental was also contracted to perfrom an asbestos survey of the impacted propperties and remove asbestos building materials from structures scheduled to be demolished.

Madame Curie’s Laboratory – Flannery Building

Enercon Services, Inc.
Oakland, PA – 2001-2002 – $825,000

Scope of Work:
Nobel laureate Marie Curie, and others, worked with radiological materials in a five-story building in Oakland that was built around 1900. As a result, the building contained radiological contaminants. The residual radiological contamination within the building was identified along with asbestos containing building materials over time and targeted for remediation.

Neumeyer Environmentals’ scope of work included removal of asbestos materials that had been contaminated by radium. The asbestos materials included flooring, spray-applied fireproofing, and pipe insulation. We installed new thermal insulation systems, and decontaminated building components and mechanical systems.

This historic facility remains in use as office space today.

Abatement Services

Del Monte
Pittsburgh, PA – 1985-2009 – $146,000

Scope of Work:
Del Monte purchased multiple HJ Heinz facilities in Pittsburgh when Heinz relocated their local division operations to Cranberry. Neumeyer Environmental, as the long term abatement contractor for these facilities, has continued to provide abatement services for the facilities under the new ownership. Our services include site-wide asbestos surveys, development of environmental reports for marketing purposes and abatement of compromised areas within the facilities.

Neumeyer Environmental has continued to service the facilities through quick response to sampling and analysis, abatement services and environmental reporting so that these high value properties remain an asset in Pittsburgh.

Hope Pump Station Stack Removal

Consolidated Natural Gas Company
Pine Grove, WV – 1997 – $390,000

Scope of Work:
This project involved dismantling a concrete smokestack at a coal-fired power plant. The stack was located adjacent to a natural gas compressor station. The smokestack dimensions were 23 feet in diameter at the base by 325 feet high. It was the tallest stack in the US when it was built early in the 20th century. The surface of the stack was coated with asbestos- and lead-containing paint. The proximity of the stack to an adjacent structure and to a high-pressure gas line buried several feet from the base required the stack to be carefully dismantled, piece-by-piece, rather than imploded.

Neumeyer Environmental developed an approach to the stack demolition to suit the site constraints and work activities that had not been used before. Demolition was accomplished by suspending a hydraulic shear from a crane. The shear was fitted with guide rails that positioned the shear jaws at the wall of the stack. The rails were designed to deflect the concrete into the stack interior. TV cameras were mounted along the boom of the crane with monitors inside the crane cab at ground level. This allowed the operator to control the shear from a safe location. Dismantling was performed mechanically so that personnel were not working at high elevations.

The approach to this demolition proved successful and the area was returned to production supporting a maintenance and repair facilities operation.
