284 West Boiler Demolition
Contractor CH2M HILL Plateau Remediation Company used American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funding to demolish the second of two 50,000-square-foot, coal-burning power houses in Hanford’s 200 Area. CH2M HILL had used explosives in February 2011 to lower the 284-W exhaust chimneys, filter structures and a water tower. Crews also removed asbestos insulation from the building. Heavy equipment knocked over the facility's large boilers in September 2011.
