Summary
One of the contracts awarded Hudson Valley Environmental by Colgate Palmolive during the decommissioning of the Jersey City, NJ facility involved the asbestos abatement and dismantling of a large power plant and steam distribution network . Included was the management and proper disposal of all waste materials and demolition debris.
The power plant was a structure approximately 150' x 100' x 100' high housing; four boilers each over 70' high, the electrical generators, piping, tanks and associated power plant equipment. Two brick stacks each 250' high were also demolished. In addition to the power plant, HVE dismantled and removed a steam distribution network consisting of transite enclosed piping bridges.
All scrap metal generated during dismantlement was recycled to scrap dealers.
The task was ideally suited for HVE multi-disciplined employees - experienced dismantling/demolition operators licensed for asbestos abatement and having 40hr OSHA 1910.120 training.
