Project Description
The Rocky Flats Environmental Technology facility is a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Superfund cleanup site 15 miles northwest of Denver. Until 1989, the plant manufactured components for nuclear weapons using radioactive and hazardous materials including plutonium, uranium and beryllium.
Closing the plant's original 700 structures and 6,300-acre grounds is being accomplished through stabilizing ground and water wastes, packaging and consolidating wastes; deactivating and decommissioning facilities; environmental restoration; property disposition; offsite shipment and waste disposition. When restored, Rocky Flats will support future open spaces and limited industrial uses and will ensure that surface water leaving the site is suitable for any use.
Parsons is providing engineering and technical services for the decontamination and demolition of Building 865, a 38,000-square-foot research facility for uranium and beryllium manufacturing. Other services include:
- Building 771 decontamination and decommissioning technical specifications
- Building 707 electrical engineering
- Design of UST removal and replacement
- Asbestos removal designs
- Design of waste incinerator
- Solar evaporation ponds phase I and II RFI/RI
- Plutonium solution tanks decontamination methods studies
