Power House and Power Plant Dismantlement Services Project Picture
Thursday, April 23, 2009
Project Highlight - Yankee Atomic Nuclear Plant Dismantling Project
R. Baker & Son All Industrial Services performed the dismantling and removal of the secondary side of the Yankee Atomic nuclear power plant in Rowe, MA. This complex 6-month project involved a 185 MW steam turbine generator and its ancillary equipment, including a high-pressure turbine rotor and blading, an installed low-pressure turbine rotor, the generator itself, the rotating and static exciters, and transformers.
Before work could commence, all of R. Baker & Son’s on-site employees had to complete a 40-hour safety training course conducted by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Radiation detection badges were required to be worn at all times during the project. Much of the turbine dismantling was executed by utilizing the plant’s existing 100-ton bridge crane. Many of the unit’s components, such as the 115-ton turbine cover and the 178-ton generator stator, exceeded the cranes capacity and required partial dismantlement and engineered lifts. Strict lead abatement procedures were required before all burning and cutting, and all loads were radiation-tested before being transported off-site.
R. Baker & Son takes great pride in our completion of this strictly-regulated and logistically complex project while maintaining our outstanding 5-year incident-free safety record.

Powerhouse Demolition and Decommissioning Services Nationwide
R. Baker & Son was chosen by PSE&G to perform the decommissioning and dismantling of four(4) gunite lined steel stacks from top of PSE&G's Glenmont Powerhouse. The 20' diameter, 170' tall stacks sat on top of the 165' high building roof for a total height from the ground of 335'.
Tasks involved cleaning and remediation of over 1000 cy of fly ash from the stack bases and breeching. Material management was critical including segregation of fly ash, gunite and carbon steel for recycling.
Rigging and dismantling procedures involved detailed lift plans, weight calculations, monitoring weather conditions and wind loads, confirming ground stability and a number of other critical factors to guarantee that all lifts were safely performed.
One of the largest obstacles was the type of crane to be utilized due to a confined footprint for which to assemble equipment and which was surrounded by live power lines, cooling towers and new powerhouse which remained on line 24/7.
R. Baker & Son working together with PSE&G engineering and Lomma Crane decided to utilize a M760 ton Favco tower crane erected on top of the powerhouse to be utilized for the lifting and lowering to ground of stack sections. R. Baker & Son erected and installed a base for the Favco tower crane and tied it directly into the building's column lines. A 500 ton hydraulic Demag was utilized to hoist workers in a certified man basket over 350' in the air in order to perform rigging and dismantling activities.
