Dover Environmental processed removed and disposed of 1 million gallons of Alum Sludge from the north and south clarifiers at the Highland Park Potable Water Treatment Plant. Dover provided onsite processing services to decant the sludge with synthetic polymers and BFP’s for landfill disposal. Work also included minor mechanical upgrades to facilitate isolation. Dover successfully completed this project the satisfaction of the City of Highland Park.

       Dover Environmental successfully completed environmental engineering, planning, and hazardous materials removal/abatement services for the environmental portion of this 70 million dollar project. Work consisted of the removal of 50,000 gallons of trichloroethylene (TCE) via vacuum distillation inside two 25,000 gallon brine piping systems to attain residual TCE levels of less than 25 parts per billion. Dover was able to reclaim the TCE with an emissions-free onsite mobile vacuum distillation process. Dover provided industrial cleaning services as well as hazardous materials abatement. The effort included performing a significant portion of work inside the bases primary wind cooling unit under confined space entry protocol, which required workers to utilize supplied air/SCBA. Dover completed this work within time requirements and confined space entry protocol, which required workers to utilize supplied air/SCBA. Dover completed this work within time requirements and the overall project received the Mobile District US Army Corps of Engineers Annual safety Award of Excellence for projects over 50 Million Dollars. The project upgraded AEDC’s testing capabilities for turbine engines utilized in next-generation fighter jets as well as domestic aircraft.

       This project involved the removal of over (55) 2,500-50,000 gallon underground (8) 25,000 gallon above ground storage tanks and associated piping. After demolishing and dismantling the entire structures, crews from Dover Environmental completed the site work, which included removing over 18,500 tons of contaminated soil, installation of groundwater collection wells, removing contaminated groundwater, and demolition and removal of over 275,000 square feet of 8 inches reinforced concrete. Dover Environmental installed and plumbed over 60 above and below ground fuel, lubricant, anti-freeze, waste oil, oil-water separator tanks. Over 2400LF of shoring/sheet piling, 380,000SF of reinforced concrete, multiple below-ground natural gases, fuel distribution, water, sanitary and storm utilities and 1500LF of below ground fiber optic telecommunication line were installed. Dover Environmental prepared the site to make way for the largest fuel farm in the Midwest, of which Dover Environmental designed and installed. This fueling facility is now being used as a basis for design across the United States. This fueling facility has a capacity of 580,000 gallons and is a backup fueling farm for the United States Department of Defense. Upon completion of the fueling facility, utilities, roads and parking lots were fully restored. Throughout the entire project, each fueling station was operable during all renovations.

       Dover performed the removal of 200 tons of F-Listed TCE and PCB impacted soils at a former dry cleaner. This project included the installation of steel shoring/sheet piling to protect the structural integrity of an existing building located next to the contaminated area. The excavated soils were extremely hazardous and transported directly to an approved hazardous waste landfill.

       This project was completed under all applicable State and Federal regulations. Under a subcontract with Shaw Group, Dover Environmental removed over 150,000 gallons of sludge and waste at a former missile silo on the US Army Reserve base in Southfield, MI. Work included confined space entry, the removal of scrap steel, solid waste, various contaminants and sludge at depths of over 40 feet. The entire underground facility was steam cleaned to meet environmental clearance requirements. Work was completed under all applicable Local, State and Federal guidelines.
