Remediation/Construction Oversight of the Quarry Water Treatment Plant at the DOE Weldon Spring Site (WSS)

This plant was designed and constructed, and is operated to manage contaminated waters impounded at the Weldon Spring Quarry. A physicochemical treatment process is used to remove radionuclides, nitro-aromatics, and metals from surface water contained in the quarry. PAI oversaw design, construction, startup, and operations of this plant for DOE.  BACK TO MENU

Our personnel performed frisking, air sampling and monitoring, regulatory interface, and site radcon oversight.  BACK TO MENU
 
Independent Cost Estimates for Defense Waste Processing Facility (DWPF) at DOE Savannah River Site

The DWPF was the largest glass vitrification facility under construction in the country and consisted of several separate projects, including (1) Auxiliary Pump Pit (APP) Building, (2) APP Bypass, (3) Ammonia Scrubber, and (4) Glass Storage Building. Senior PAI cost engineers performed cost analyses, material takeoffs, discrepancy resolution, labor efficiency/factor evaluation, markup evaluation, and final report preparation for these four projects.  BACK TO MENU
 
Woodlawn Landfill Extraction and Monitoring Wells at Fort Campbell, Kentucky

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers needed confirmatory data on the landfill’s RCRA permit. PAI supervised the drilling and installation of 2-in. and 4-in. extraction and monitoring wells. This included constructing the decontamination pad, monitoring the well drilling and grout pouring, decontaminating equipment, and disposing of the waste.  BACK TO MENU
