"Use of the Marcrist Diamond Floor Shaver for decontamination of radioactive contamination from concrete floors has begun at Rancho Seco. The Marcrist Shaver was originally selected due to it's proven ability to remove between 1/8" to 1/4" of the contaminated concrete surface per pass at a production rate of approximately 100 ft2/hour; ease of operation as the shaver is self-propelled and can be operated and easily moved by a single worker, and generates a very dense waste product which results in a low volume of produced waste. However, most importantly, the Shaver leaves a smooth surface that is acceptable for final site radiological surveys. The resulting smooth surface helps to ensure that surface beta scans and direct measurements, supporting final site survey, are performed efficiently, effectively and reliably."

Innovative combined engineered solutions performed by skilled technicians resulting in waste minimization and ALARA efficiency have been demonstrated at a number of sites.  

Controlled shaving of walls, floors, ceilings; segmentation of reactor vessels; cryogenic cutting of bioshield walls; contaminated duct work segmentation; robotic separation of active from inactive concrete; customized equipment technology solutions supporting decommissioning is our core competence.

Combining these successful projects completed with our unparalleled experience in all phases of the commercial nuclear market, allows us to offer best practice solutions that anticipate and understand the needs and requirements of DOD/DOE sites.
