Decommissioning and Demolition

A substantial percentage of our project work has included impacted or hazardous waste removals and associated decommissioning and demolition. RECON performs surgical and mass removal of impacted media, including above and below ground structures and piping; concrete supports; and associated production buildings. This impacted media has included Radiological, NORM, and mixed waste.

We employ emissions control systems, from temporary cover agents, up to fully enclosed negative-air structures, at sensitive remediation projects. RECON employees are trained to perform work in PPE Levels B, C, and D. We provide turnkey, off-site disposal of contaminated media to appropriate disposal facilities.

Zero emission of fugitive dust, odor, target contaminants, and excessive noise is our goal on every site.

Demolition

This task order was completed under an IDIQ cost reimbursable contract with Chevron EMC for environmental remediation in the U.S.

Project Features

• Clearing the 2-story, 640 feet by 75 feet, concrete structure of asbestos tiles, lead-based paint, transformers, light ballasts and pigeon dropping
• Demolishing the structure using excavators equipped with grapple attachments
• Starting from the inshore area, RECON worked toward the outer pier, using the rubble as a platform for the equipment and haul trucks
• Restoring 800 feet of combined sheetpile reinforced shoreline and a timber-relieving platform and covered the area with geotextile and a 3-foot thick layer of armor stone
• Installing 2,000 linear feet of turbidity curtain and containment boom in the Newark Bay to limit the migration of sediments and debris
