Decontamination and Demolition

MACTEC adds value for clients though our experience on decontamination and demolition (D&D) projects of all sizes and types. We’ve been successful with D&D at power plants, weapons production facilities, and other large structures and sites contaminated with radioactive or other hazardous material.

Additionally, our NRC Radioactive Materials License enables us to transfer D&D risk, regulatory compliance, and oversight costs from facility owner to MACTEC. We work directly with the NRC on all decommissioning activities, again saving our clients time and money.

D&D processes and services include:

• Radiological decontamination
• Structural demolition and dismantling of building components
• Foundation and underground systems removal
• Remediation of contaminated soil; hazmats removal/disposal
• Waste minimization, segregation, packaging
• Backfill and site restoration

Throughout the D&D process, MACTEC maintains comprehensive information on all waste to enable proper packaging and disposal. Waste is characterized through sampling and analysis to meet disposal facility acceptance criteria.

Characterization data is also used for health, safety, and transportation requirements. As this data is generated, it is continuously evaluated to provide the safest, most efficient waste handling, packaging, and disposal.
