NUCLEAR WASTE REMOVAL

Buffalo Hydraulic was awarded a contract to design & build a jacking system that would provide the necessary lifting capacity, as well as documenting the weight of nuclear waste for removal and transportation. The total jacking system capacity was 600 tons over six points of lift.

Our jacking system calculated the weight of the containers prior to and after the solid waste was loaded and filled with grout. Once loaded and sealed, the containers were loaded on rail cars for removal to a secured site.

With many eyes upon this project, there was absolutely no room for error. The project was completed safely and without any interruptions.

From NASA’s Kennedy Space Center to the mountains of the Pacific Northwest and from the Potomac River to Nicosia, Cyprus, and even to the extreme Arctic conditions of Summit Greenland,  Buffalo Hydraulic has the experience to make your most complex high-tonnage project a success!
