Schneider Electric

Overview:
This project at Schneider Electric, in Lincoln, NE, encompassed the cleaning, removal, and proper disposition of the three plating lines: nickel, zinc, and tin and the cleaning, removal, and proper disposition of the Sludge Press Unit, the Exhaust System, and the Wastewater Treatment Tanks. These work activities included cutting and capping utilities, sludge removal, sampling, waste profiling, pre-cleaning, dismantling and demolition of industrial equipment, and post-demolition fine cleaning.

Planning + Execution = Sucess
We designed a work plan that implemented use of cross-trained crews and strategic scheduling of subcontractors allowing us to run tasks concurrently to expedite the schedule and maximize efficiency of on-site hours – ultimately finishing the project on time and within budget.

EnviroVantage executed the delineation of multiple waste streams which were strictly managed. Universal waste (UW) was separated into waste streams and work areas were equipped with gas meters to keep areas safe and properly monitored.

Waste Streams Managed:
⋅ D002: Corrosive Waste
⋅ D007: Chromium
⋅ F006: Wastewater treatment sludges from electroplating operations.

Monitored Gas:
⋅ Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S)
⋅ LEL, Oxygen (O2)
⋅ Carbon Monoxide (CO)

Waste and wastewater was containerized for the hazardous waste subcontractor to collect and transport to identified appropriate disposal facilities. Non-hazardous metal scrap was sent to waste facilities for recycling/diversion reinforcing our commitment to sustainable reuse, recycling, and diversion of materials.
