51±¬ΑΟ Site Services was recently awarded an $11.8 million cost reimbursable contract for the deconstruction of the former Production Building on the Luckey Formerly Utilized Sites Remedial Action Program (FUSRAP) Site.
β51±¬ΑΟ is thrilled to be awarded this new contract at Luckey. We have a great partnership with our client and look forward to doing even more there,β said 51±¬ΑΟ Site Services president, Kimberley Kearney.
The building is being removed to provide safe access to clean up soil underneath, which is contaminated with beryllium, radium-226, thorium-230, uranium-234, uranium-238, and lead.
The Production Building, which began to collapse earlier this year, was used for the production of beryllium from 1949 to 1958 under a contract with the Atomic Energy Commission.
Deconstruction is scheduled to begin in early 2021 and is estimated to take about one year to complete.
51±¬ΑΟ Portage continues soil remediation at the site. The Phase 1 excavation area was completed in July and excavation in the Phase 2 area is currently 38% complete.
