INTERSTATE 25 and HIGHWAY 119Longmont, ColoradoApproximately 2,000 gallons of fuel were released into the
intersection after a gasoline tanker overturned. BELFOR
Environmental crews began drilling operations on the tanker
and transferred the remaining product to another tanker
within 4 days. Upon completion of the transfer, excavation
began for grossly contaminated soil. Approximately 2,000
cubic yards of soil was removed for disposal.

ABATEMENT CASE STUDY
ASBESTOS ABATEMENT - STEEL MILLPueblo, ColoradoEstablished in 1881, EVRAZ Pueblo (then known as the Colorado
Fuel and Iron Company) helped to build the American west by
providing affordable steel and iron to the western territories and
the nation’s expanding rail systems. Multi-million dollar upgrades
were made to the mill, including the abatement and demolition of
historic coke ovens. Because of the large size of the structure, the
project required scaffolding and shrink wrap containment.

CASE STUDY
CONTAMINATED SOILDenver, ColoradoIn 1929, Denver celebrated the opening of its first
municipal airport which eventually became known as
Stapleton International Airport. The airport served
the greater Denver area and served as a hub for
several large carriers for more than 66 years.
Stapleton was closed in 1995 and decommissioned
after the Denver International Airport opened. About
4,700 acres of airport property is being redeveloped
into a major retail and residential neighborhood.
BELFOR Environmental played a key role in the
redevelopment project by:
• Remediating 50,000 cubic yards of non-friable
asbestos building debris and contaminated
soil;
• Remediating 500 cubic yards of friable
asbestos-contaminated soil;
• Remediating 1,300 cubic yards of soil
contaminated by aviation jet fuel.
“BELFOR Environmental has impressed us with their ability to use safe and effective work practices. Their compliance with environmental standards is extremely important to the success of this project.”

CASE STUDY
GROUND AND SURFACE WATERCONTAMINATIONCommerce City, ColoradoBELFOR Environmental remediated surface water
areas that had been impacted with hydrocarbons at the
perimeter of a petroleum refinery.
The scope of work was to work in conjunction with a
consultant to bring the groundwater treatment system
online. BELFOR Environmental technicians removed
product from the pond using various methods,
such as deploying containment, sorbent boom
application, installing vertical hydraulic barriers, and
the installation of piezometers including product
recovery pumps. All of these methods were used
in the operation over the course of 11 months.
Results of weekly samples dictated the necessity
to operate the Dewatering Treatment System (DTS).
BELFOR Environmental was hired to operate the
dewatering and conveyance systems 24 hours per
day in order to treat potentially hydrocarbon impacted
groundwater until the results of the sampling tested below
limits.
“We couldn’t be more pleased with the job
that BELFOR Environmental did. We have
confidence that, when it comes to
environmental remediation projects, they
are a solid company with the resources,
knowledge and training to not only do
the job correctly but also to do it safely.”
GREG FLETCHERSuncor Energy Refinery
ASBESTOS ABATEMENTDenver, ColoradoAfter two attempts to sell abandoned power plant property, and to
make way for a new development project, BELFOR Environmental
was contracted to remove all of the asbestos-containing building
materials from the power plant and laundry. The power plant had
two large boilers that reached up to 15 feet. The boilers and all
associated piping had to be certified asbestos free, prior to
dismantling and demolition. BELFOR Environmental removed:
• 3,300 square feet of boiler insulation;
• 1,240 square feet of transite panels;
• 321 linear feet of caulking;
• 197 gaskets;
• 165 square feet paper felt material;
• 272 pipe fittings ranging from 1- 24 inches;
• 1,035 linear feet of pipe insulation ranging from 1- 24
inches;
• 1,200 square feet of tank insulation.
C A S E S T U D I E S
ASBESTOS AND LEAD REMOVALLittleton, ColoradoBELFOR Environmental was contracted to remove asbestos pipe
insulation and lead based paint on tank and pipe surfaces in a
three-story power plant. The plant has five boilers, two chillers
multiple transformers, switch gears, motors and pumps.. Cryogenic
and heat radiant testing were conducted. This was necessary to assist
in the retrofit of all piping and access portals for the scheduled upgrade.
HAZARDOUS WASTE REMOVALParker, ColoradoConstruction on a residence ceased and the building sat idle
for several years. During this time, pigeons were able to nest
within the residence and create a nuisance health hazard. Pigeon
guano was found on most horizontal surfaces and hard to reach
locations.
BELFOR Environmental was responsible for cleaning all surfaces for
biological contaminants. Services included:
• Installation of critical barriers
• Establishment of negative pressure
• Construction of a decontamination area with a clean room,
shower and equipment room.
• Abatement
• Final visual inspection by a third-party Industrial Hygienist
• Final clearance testing by a third-party Industrial Hygienist
• Encapsulation of the residence after the clearance testing
passed
• Tear down and demobilization
The objectives of the project were to: 1) maintain the integrity
of the building to prevent the migration of additional birds and
other rodents from entering the residence; 2) prior to removal, all
materials to be removed were wet down with a water and bleach
solution (1:10) mixture to minimize any airborne dust potentially
containing any vector borne organisms; 3) remove and properly
dispose of all impacted materials; 4) obtain final clearance for
biological hazards.
