Smith's Junkyard Cleanup Success
IES provided the technical expertise, labor, and specialized equipment to execute the largest compressed gas cylinder cleanup in history. Over the course of the four-month long project, an IES crew of 20 specialists processed over 9,200 compressed gas cylinders containing flammable, toxic, and corrosive gases along with over 20 tons of asbestos-and-acetone contaminated soil. In addition to the gas cylinders and other pressure vessels targeted under this contract, IES was responsible for locating, identifying, and staging for later sampling and disposal a wide array of other hazardous materials including munitions, explosives, waste oils, solvents, and chemically contaminated soils. All of which were located both on the ground and in over one hundred tractor trailers and railroad box cars. The initial purpose of the project was to remove and/or properly dispose of the contents of compressed gas cylinders at the Smith's Junkyard site located in Meddybemps, Maine. The junkyard has been in operation for many years and encompassed four parcels of land totaling over 22 acres. The junkyard remained active during remediation operations although active cylinder extraction and processing areas were cordoned off to unauthorized personnel. The project was performed through a series of carefully planned and controlled operations. Beginning with cylinder location and extraction, each target cylinder was fully inventoried and assessed, sampled and analyzed when necessary.They were then managed using a variety of disposal techniques, and decommissioned to render the cylinder unusable. The project was completed without a single lost-time injury a full one month ahead of schedule despite the large amount of ancillary waste materials.
