Duquesne, PA – 2008-2009 – $1,200,000

Scope of Work:
The Regional Industrial Development Corporation (RIDC) constructed a roadway to convey traffic over an existing rail line to Duquesne Riverplace at the old Duquesne Works Steel Mill property. The property was approved as an ACT 2 site and is currently under phased redevelopment.

Management of on-site soils required extensive sampling and analysis, use of personal protective equipment, segregation of contaminated materials and removal and management of subsurface debris due to the historical steel-making activities.

Neumeyer Environmental evaluated and managed approximately 40,000 cubic yards of impacted soils in preparation of the more than 3,000 linear feet of road construction. We worked in close coordination with the prime contractor to develop approaches that facilitated project completion and minimized costs.

Neumeyer Environmental performed the earthwork, demolition and on-site placement of surplus materials and debris such that the majority of the materials were able to be beneficially re-used on-site. Remnants of asbestos containing materials were encountered during the excavation that required abatement during portions of the work. Neumeyer Environmental was able to minimize the schedule impacts that may have resulted from this previously-unknown development. The project required approximately 14 months to complete from sampling through final excavation
