Groundwater Remediation System Restoration Project at a U.S. Navy Site in West Virginia.
Allegany Ballistics Laboratory Project: 2014
Hennigan Engineering Company, Inc. was retained by a large Environmental Services firm to video inspect, assess condition and clean / restore the groundwater remediation system at the Allegany Ballistics Laboratory (ABL) in Rocket Center, West Virginia. The ABL is operated by the Alliant Techsystems, Inc. (ATK). The overall groundwater remediation system was constructed and is run by Tikigaq / AGVIQ with CH2M Hill under contract with AGVIQ for water treatment facility Operations & Maintenance.
The system
Hennigan Engineering utilized both hydrolase and jet blast equipment that ranged from 2,500 to 20, 000 psi with specialized cleaning heads to restore the system. Video inspection equipment included specialized high resolution cameras for pipe sizes from 1-inch to 6-inches in diameter. In addition, radio detection equipment was deployed to pin-point the location of critical features of the subsurface pipe.
Hennigan Engineering successfully video inspected the pipe system then restored its performance to flow levels that had never been achieved in the past – even when the system was first installed. This was done with negligible disturbance to the operation of the steam plant or compromise of the sites fire suppression system.

Moving forward; Hennigan Engineering will be working with the client to keep the restored system operating at peak performance.
