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.

Decommission Light Plant

Westinghouse Electric Corporation
Bloomfield, NJ – 1988 – $2,500,000

Scope of Work:
Neumeyer Environmental assisted in the decommissioning of a former light bulb manufacturing facility. The facility had been used during World War II for the development of the atom bomb. Radiological, mercury and asbestos contamination was present in nearly 1,000,000 square feet of the facility.

The services Neumeyer Environmental provided included:
•Decontamination of building components and equipment.
•Sizing and packaging of contaminated waste.
•Complete dismantling of two buildings.

90% of the structure was decontaminated on site allowing nearly 1,600 tons of debris to be handled as construction debris saving the client substantial disposal costs. The site has been redeveloped as a mixed-use shopping and residential complex.

DOD Reactor-Circulating Pump Facility

Westinghouse Corporation
Cheswick, PA – 1997 – $1,200,000

Scope of Work:
A Department of Defense facility managed by Westinghouse Corporation repaired reactor-circulating pumps that were used on nuclear-powered submarines and ships. After years of operation, radiological and asbestos contaminants were present throughout the structure and subsurface soil. This 30,000 square foot building required decontamination prior to its demolition.

The project involved decontamination of the pump repair building, approximately 30,000 square feet. All interior surfaces were decontaminated on-site. After decontamination, the structure was demolished. Approximately 90% of the structural material was recycled after the decontamination process. Contaminated soil beneath the structure was removed and packaged for off-site disposal. The site was backfilled and readied for site restoration.

Recycling of the demolition debris provided significant savings to Westinghouse.

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.
