USACE,
Sacramento District
Eight Precision Bombing Ranges at Former Kirtland Army Airfield
Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study (RI/FS) |
 TPMC
completed work at multiple locations on this high-volume and complex
contract performing MMRP characterization, risk assessment and
feasibility study with significant regulatory and stakeholder
interaction. TPMC performed the RI/FS for this 230 acre MEC surface
clearance project using a VSP geostatistical model that reduced project
costs by 50%. We also used Metal Mapper technology to provide high
quality DGM data that facilitated the Record of Decision (ROD)
approval. Based on the quality of our performance, we were awarded, and
are conducting, the remedial design and remedial action (RD/RA) for the
USACE, Albuquerque District. |
TPMC performed a focused removal of
surface and subsurface debris and residue from OB/OD operations,
in-place stabilization of remaining materials and slopes, installation
of surface water diversion and retention facilities, and long-term
groundwater monitoring. We performed digital geophysical mapping (DGM)
services to identify and then stage and disposed of over 28,000 live
ordnance items. The 900 items considered too sensitive to move, were
blown-in-place.
This
location operated four practice ranges for weaponry ranging from
handguns to submachine guns for the Army and FBI. TPMC performed
detailed DGM and characterization, surface clearance and removal of
more than 300 subsurface. We prepared the design documents for the full
site remediation consisting of UXO removal and excavation, removal, and
disposal of contaminated soils, range residue, and debris (munitions,
lead bullets, bullet fragments, and bullet casings). TPMC was
consequently awarded the remediation contract and will begin work in
Spring 2014.
TPMC
provided Munitions and Explosives of Concern (MEC) and Material
Potentially Presenting an Explosive Hazard (MPPEH) support services
including UXO escort and avoidance; surface and subsurface removals;
demolition; inspection and certification of Material Documented as Safe
(MDAS). System integration of the detection instrumentation, a global
positioning system (GPS), and the site GIS system provided current data
and accurate mapping of all detected anomalies site wide.
