Being an environmental company, and specifically because of our work at landfills, SES is very sensitive to the need to minimize waste and maximize recycling.

 

When providing demolition services, we incorporate a 'green' approach to reduce the volume of material sent to a landfill or disposed as hazardous waste. This approach is beneficial to the environment while minimizing disposal costs.

One significant challenge for our clients, particularly those seeking to demolish old military structures from the 1940s, has been the presence of asbestos and lead-based paint. SES crews are trained to remove these types of materials safely and efficiently, and to segregate them from other building components such as concrete, wood and other recyclable items.

• Naval Air Station, Atlanta, GA. Demolished a service station and also removed three USTs. Taking a 'green' approach, we recycled 424 tons (78%) of waste, comprised of metal and asphalt/concrete.


• Demolition of two hundred apartment units plus auxiliary buildings, Pensacola, FL. The project included sewer and water line abandonment, asbestos abatement, disposal of hazardous materials and site restoration.


• Decontamination and demolition, Fort Polk, LA. SES decontaminated two ASTs, a transfer station sump, an oil/water separator and associated piping before demolishing one AST and disassembling the other (one which was salvaged for re-assembly at a new, used oil facility).
