Decontamination and decommissioning of building 41
Description
Building 41 was a one story, above-ground 36' x 9' x 9' concrete block structure with a fifteen (15) foot poured concrete basement that contained two (2) 3500 gallon tanks and pumping system. A pole barn structure was erected over Building 41 to contain contamination during removal. Steel sheet piling and oak shoring eliminated cave in dangers. Removal was accomplished with a remote excavator (Mini-Max), trackhoe and concrete bucket. Final excavation, sampling and surveying are in process. Upon final release, the excavation will be sealed, filled and the site restored
