- Washington Closure Hanford, 2620 Fermi, Richland, Washington 99354 (United States)
Washington Closure Hanford (WCH) was selected by the U.S. Department of Energy, Richland Operations Office (DOE-RL) to manage the River Corridor Closure Project (RCCP), a 10-year contract in which WCH will clean up 572 km{sup 2} (220 mi{sup 2}) of contaminated land at the Hanford Site in Richland, Washington. Since 2005, WCH has safely and efficiently performed field remediation and building demolition activities along the Columbia River corridor. To date, 99% of the buildings have been demolished and field remediation is 88% complete. These numbers represent work on 323 buildings and 571 waste sites, respectively. From a safety perspective, WCH has experienced an outstanding safety record with a total of 230 first aid cases, 47 recordable only cases, 2 restricted work day cases, and 7 lost work day cases. WCH exceeded 6 million hours worked without a lost time injury on September 30, 2015, for the second time in the contract period. The project has worked a total of 23,217,840 hours. WCH has experienced extensive successes over the last 10 years. These successes include, but are not limited to, explosive demolition, technological applications, and creative land restoration techniques. Efficiencies in work planning, execution, and subcontracting will also be shared. The photographs showing how the landscape has changed are impressive, as is some of the video captured during explosive demolition of a reactor stack in the 100-N Area of the Hanford Site. (authors)
