Demolition and Remediation at Crowley Marine - Coos Bay, OR

Located on Coos Bay, this site was a former fuel storage facility owned and operated by Crowley Marine Services. Crowley operated the facility as a fuel transfer, storage, and distribution facility until 1984. The contract was to demolish all above-ground structures, excavate and thermally treat contaminated soils, and restore the site.

The specific scope of work included the following: asbestos and lead based paint surveys and abatement; sampling, identifying, packaging, and disposal of various hazardous liquids found throughout the site; disconnecting and capping all site utilities; clearing and grubbing; demolition of four multi-story wood frame buildings and one steel building; disposal of miscellaneous debris; demolition of a large concrete retaining wall and building foundations; excavation and stockpiling contaminated soils; on-site thermal desorption of approximately 9,000 cubic yards of contaminated soils; extensive dewatering and backfilling of excavations; site restoration; and pen-nitting and regulatory reporting for all demolition and remediation activities.

Project Performance

Despite complex and varying site conditions, all demolition, remediation, and site restoration activities were completed in 60 days, on time and under budget. Operations were conducted adjacent to the Pacific Ocean and across the street from private residences 24 hours per day, 7 days per week without receiving a single complaint. Crowley Marine described the performance as "Excellent."
