Central Chemical; Hagerstown, MD
CCI was contracted to remove dust and debris from 17 structures
at the Central Chemical Superfund Site in Hagerstown, Maryland
followed by demolition of the buildings. The site was used primarily
as a pesticide formulation (DDT) facility; some of the
buildings were used for miscellaneous tasks such as automotive
repair, metal machining, chemical storage, and wood working. CCI
performed an asbestos survey and pre-characterized the wastes prior
to commencing siteoperations. CCI started by removing the
asbestos and gross removal of the contaminated dust. CCI also
configured a super-vac equipped with a High Efficiency Particulate
Filter (HEPA) exhaust and a plenum system to equip the technicians
with a dust removal system. With all the debris and dust removed,
CCI initiated site preparation to include erosion and sedimentation
controls, designation of stockpile areas, and delineation of
decontamination areas. More than 400 tons of general debris was
removed prior to demolition of the 17 buildings. CCI sampled,
analyzed, and characterized 638 cubic yards of Subtitle C hazardous
waste and 165 tons of Subtitle D non-hazardous waste prior to
containerizing the waste for transport to pre-approved disposal
facilities. An additional 175 tons of abatement-containing materials
was removed, packaged, and disposed. More than 550 tons of
structural steel was decontaminated and transported off site for
recycling at a pre-approved facility. CCI completed all tasks on
schedule, on budget, and with no OSHA incidents.
Pulp and Paper Processing Facility;
Valdosta, GA
CCI’s work at this site included the complete abatement of two
five story recirculation boilers and cascades. An entire building was
contained, steel casing was cut, and multiple types of ACM were
removed to allow demolition of the entire structure. Innovative
approaches to containment, work scheduling, removal techniques, and
waste handling were required to execute this job safely.
Chemical Manufacturer; Charlotte, NC
CCI is the preferred contractor for this client, having performed
projects ranging in cost from $2,000 to $160,000. All on-site
employees receive extensive training on various safety issues. This
project requires work on steam lines in excess of 250 degrees
Fahrenheit.
Power Generation Plant; Greenville, NC
CCI works on this site both as an on-call and bid
contractor to facilitate asbestos abatement work that includes
scaffold erection and re-insulation. This high-profile fossil plant
supplies power to a metropolitan area. Our work has included large
shut-down projects involving casing removal on water walls to access
asbestos containing TSI, penthouse and precipitator work, as well as
emergency glove bag work for maintenance purposes. Strict
coordination between contractors and the owner is critical.
Textile/Filament Manufacturer; Concord, NC
CCI has worked at this facility on a daily basis for more than 7
years to ensure EPA and OSHA compliance with respect to
asbestos-containing materials and lead-based paint. CCI supplies
employees numbering from 4 to 25 on a continual basis to perform
scheduled upgrades, dismantlement projects, and O&M work. Work at
this site often includes removing insulation on downed thermal lines
that may be in excess of 600 degrees Fahrenheit. Budget pricing,
design, and feasibility studies are all included in our scope of
services.
Duke Energy Corporation, Wachovia Center
400 S. Tryon Street, Charlotte, NC
First Floor,
Phase 1 Demolition: Demolition of approximately 24,000SF of floor
space. Demolition of all interior walls (approximately 37,800SF
drywall), 23,000SF ceiling tile, and 10,000SF carpet. Because of
asbestos containing fireproofing above the ceiling, all work was
performed within a negative pressure enclosure.
First
Floor, Phase 2 Abatement: Removal and disposal of approximately
66,300SF of fireproofing, 300SF of VAT & mastic, 400SF of drywall w/
joint compound, 1,850SF of CMU wall, 1,700LF of HVAC duct and VAV
boxes, all duct and air handling equipment from the Air Handling
Room, ten (10) fire doors and 50LF of thermal systems insulation
from pipe. Both Phases were performed with two (2) Supervisors and
fifteen to seventeen (15-17) Workers per shift, working two (2)
twelve (12) hour shifts each day until complete.
Owens-Brockway
Atlanta, GA
Work included
the removal of all insulation and associated asbestos contaminated
debris from Furnace “A” at the Atlanta, Georgia facility including
the 1) inside walls of the left and right regenerators, 2)
adjoining north and south walls up to the Forming (Machine level,
3) furnace substructure and 4) debris (including the
glass-sand debris pile located in the basement level floor area.
Once the abatement was started, it had to be finished (including
clearance and teardown) in 96 hours with liquidated damages set at
$22,000 for each 8 hour period the project was delayed. During the
boiler tap by the refurbishing contractor the bottom of the boiler
fell out leaving melted glass in the 32’x 72’ pit approx. 3 feet
deep. CCI removed all glass as well as previous mentioned scope
under full containment adding only 7 additional shifts to the
project. CCI was commented by the Owner and Contractor for the
handling of the project.
International
Paper Power Boiler #2 Abatement/ Riegelwood, NC
The project
consisted of the removal of asbestos containing boiler wall
insulation and refractory from the #2 Power Boiler at the
International Paper manufacturing facility in Riegelwood, NC. This
was done to allow for the repair and reconstruction of the boiler
using non-asbestos containing materials. In order to remove the
asbestos containing materials CCI demolished entire wall areas of
the boiler encompassing approximately 2000sf of material. The
project was complicated by multiple factors. The boiler was not to
be demolished completely. The basic structure was to remain intact
to allow for reconstruction. The boiler had undergone multiple
isolated abatement and reconstruction projects in the past which had
to remain unscathed. These facts created a scenario where multiple
work area containments were required that were distributed between
three stories of the structure that housed the boiler. In addition
CCI was required to remove, clean and salvage the metal boiler
“skin” in order for the owner to meet their company salvage and
recycling requirements. The project was performed during a
scheduled plant outage and as such was time sensitive. During a six
day portion of the project time frame CCI maintained a thirty man
crew twenty-four hours per day to complete the project as scheduled. |
