Babcock and Wilcox
Newark, NJ – 1997 – $370,000
Scope of Work:
Neumeyer Environmental was contracted to repair a large utility boiler for a public service electric and gas company. The work required removal and replacement of boiler tubes. Asbestos insulation first needed to be removed in order to access damaged tubes. Approximately 1600 square feet of insulation was initially removed.
Neumeyer Environmental constructed a negative pressure area around the work space on four floors. A heavy steel plate boiler surface skin was removed to expose the asbestos insulation and refractory lining. The asbestos was removed, packaged and shipped off site to a regulated disposal landfill.
The boiler repairs were completed and the boiler was returned on line. The project was completed on-time and on-budget.
