Full-height containment inside the Sprague Energy power plant with an overhead crane rail above.

Market

Industrial & Plant

Plant decommissioning combines heavy structural work with process residue, coated steel, and failing structures. At the Sprague Energy power plant in New Bedford, Select abated a six-story hung boiler and built a new roof enclosure to contain a collapsed structure for abatement.

The environment

What governs the work

  • PCB, asbestos, and hazardous-material decontamination
  • Structures in failing condition
  • Heavy steel and reinforced concrete
  • Massachusetts DEP Nontraditional Work Plan requirements

Our practice

How Select responds

  • Controlled collapse with crane and dead-man where structures cannot be entered
  • Enclosure construction to contain abatement
  • Integrated abatement and structural demolition sequencing
