Filing 7, Former Stapleton International Airport Redevelopment, Denver, Colorado
Former Stapleton International Airport
Client: City and County of Denver
Contact: Greg Holt, Deputy Director - Denver Int’l Airport (303) 513-6317
Contract Value: $450,000
Date: ongoing 2010

This pilot asbestos contaminated soils project is currently ongoing at the former Stapleton International Airport. ESA, in partnership with the City and County of Denver and Family Environmental, is exploring a new way of remediating stockpiles. Utilizing scrapers, ESA is laying out soils in large lay-down areas. Trained inspectors then walk the laid out soils. Should asbestos materials be found, the inspectors pull out those materials and dispose of them properly. Once the materials are rendered free from asbestos, the piles are then cleared and placed in a ‘clean’ pile. This new method allows the materials to remain on site and be reused as opposed to being hauled off site and placed in a disposal facility. Additionally, this visionary method saves on fuel, poly and disposal, saving the City and County significantly. It also is a much more environmentally friendly option. Once this pilot program is complete, there is a chance that suspect stockpiles such as the ones found on Filing 7 can be safely cleaned by this more efficient and cost-effective method. 

The Denver Federal Center, Lakewood, Colorado
Saint Anthony’s Hospital
Client: Walsh Environmental Scientists/RE Monks Construction
Contact Information: Tony Curcio (Walsh): (303) 443-3282
Contract Value: $1.2 million
Date: January - March, 2009

ESA was ideally suited for this asbestos contaminated soils project consisting of a 121,000 cubic yard excavation. The project also required the building of a parking lot, and all final site work for what is now Saint Anthony’s Hospital in Lakewood, Colorado. 

Walsh Environmental provided all of the project oversight. ESA worked closely with RE Monks Construction, who handled all of the project management, site work, trucking and parking lot construction. ESA lined, loaded, wrapped and handled all of the asbestos contaminated soil, in addition to select site demolition. ESA’s well-trained crew of Hazwoper & Asbestos certified employees were able to maintain an aggressive schedule despite tough winter conditions and difficult access to the site. 

Fitzsimons Redevelopment Soils Remediation, Aurora, Colorado
Former Air Force Barracks
Client: Fitzsimons Redevelopment Authority
Contact Information: Lyle Artz, (720) 859-4100
Contract Value: $250,000 (ongoing)
Completion Date: November 2009 – February 2010

ESA was awarded two separate contracts to perform all demolition, asbestos abatement, as well as soil remediation on this former military barracks building.  Initially, ESA safely abated underground steam tunnels with asbestos piping.  After safely remove contaminated soils, as well as a buried tank and other hazardous materials.  Since the remediation was not part of the original construction schedule, ESA designed a plan that would minimize construction delays.  Despite downtown traffic, ESA was able to finish the job in a matter of weeks.

Filings 18 and 19, Former Stapleton International Airport, Denver, Colorado
Former Stapleton International Airport
Client: City and County of Denver
Contact: Greg Holt, Deputy Director - Denver Int’l Airport (303) 513 - 6317
Contract Value: Over $15 Million
Date: Ongoing

ESA identified, excavated, loaded, packaged and hauled over 300,000 cubic yards of friable and non-friable asbestos debris contaminated soil from the Former Stapleton International Airport redevelopment site. Working closely with the City and County of Denver, URS, Family Environmental Compliance Services, and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment’s Solid Waste and Air Pollution Control Divisions, ESA prepared and successfully implemented a Soils Characterization and Management Plan under the recently adopted revisions to the Solid Waste Regulations. As the project has progressed, ESA accommodated site development priorities by executing its work in phases.

 
River Point at Sheridan Landfill Cleanup
River Point at Sheridan Landfill Cleanup
Client: Walsh Environmental
Contact Information: Tony Curcio (303) 570-2434
Contract Value: Over $300,000
Completion Date: August, 2007

ESA excavated, loaded, packaged and hauled approximately 7,000 cubic yards of friable and non-friable asbestos debris contaminated soil and trash from the River Point at Sheridan redevelopment site. ESA met the challenges of establishing and maintaining required engineering controls and decontamination facilities within this large landfill remediation site. ESA remobilized rapidly on numerous occasions as asbestos debris was encountered, minimizing potential delays to the project.

Sand Creek Parkway, Aurora, Colorado
Sand Creek Parkway
Client: Matrix Design Group
Contact Information: Julie Carver (303) 572-0200
Contract Value: $585,418
Date: March, 2004 – February, 2005

ESA excavated, loaded, packaged and hauled over 5,000 cubic yards of friable and non-friable asbestos debris contaminated soil from the City of Aurora’s Sand Creek Parkway at Fitzsimons site. ESA, Walsh Environmental, Matrix Design Group, and the City of Aurora’s program managers developed a cost-effective approach to the remediation of asbestos debris containing soil associated with underground utility tunnels and nearby spoils piles. The project was completed on time and budget despite inclement weather conditions and limited access to subject materials.
ESA was awarded two separate contracts to perform all demolition, asbestos abatement, as well as soil remediation on this former military barracks building. Initially, ESA safely abated underground steam tunnels with asbestos piping. After safely removing these materials and surrounding soils, ESA performed all demolition of the site. Once the demolition was completed, testing was done on the soils within the building footprint. Casey Resources performed all of the oversite. ESA currently has an ongoing contract to perform soils remediation
