Decontamination and demolition (D&D) activities are a specialty of North Wind. Large-scale abatement, decommissioning, and demolition have become core competencies of North Wind performing over 75 large-scale facility abatements and demolitions across the country at government sites over the past 5 years. North Wind has developed the capabilities to plan and execute large-scale demolitions of complex and contaminated facilities in a safe and compliant manner.
Additionally, North Wind performs radiological decontamination and/or stabilization in support of demolition or free release. Within the past 5 years, North Wind has decontaminated over 250,000 square feet of floor space, over 1 million square feet of overhead space (e.g., walls, structural steel, ceilings, etc.), and has performed selective decontamination or application of fixative to radiological contamination in more than 18 facilities to support open-air demolition.
North Wind maintains a Radioactive Materials License (#201-785-90), issued from the State of Kentucky (a Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Agreement State), that allows us to take possession of radioactive materials in the performance of decontamination, demolition, reclamation, and/or site restoration activities – allowing us to provide our clients with turn-key radiological D&D services.
