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.
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.
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.

Removal of asbestos-containing window systems, exterior view
Scope of Work:
Construction of a new highway interchange required demolition of two large commercial buildings. One was a metal framework structure covered with 60,000 square feet of asbestos panels; it had been used as a distribution warehouse for industrial rubber products. The second building had housed a sales and processing operation for a water treatment company. In addition to 4,000 square feet of asbestos containing materials (ACM) in floors, roofs, and insulation materials, the building contained 500 tons of hazardous caustics and acids that had been used for water treatment.
At the rubber products warehouse, Neumeyer Environmental coated each asbestos siding panel with encapsulant to seal in any loose asbestos fibers. The 300 pound panels were unbolted, lowered to the ground, wrapped in plastic sheeting and placed in a roll-off containers. The ACM was transported to a regulated facility for disposal. After completion of the abatement, Neumeyer Environmental demolished the building.

In the water treatment building, Neumeyer Environmental drained and flushed all tanks and piping and collected the chemicals in containers provided by the DOT. We shipped the chemicals to a hazardous waste processing facility. Neumeyer Environmental removed and disposed of the ACM from the structure and demolished the building.
Neumeyer Environmental recycled 800 tons of structural steel and provided 3,000 tons of crushed concrete for use as roadway base material.
