Work on the former Manufactured Gas Plant site at the LIPA substation in Glen Cove commenced on February 28, 2011. The first work included the mobilization of equipment and other items necessary to execute the scope of work. Work this week included continuing the excavation, transportation and disposal of impacted soils within the slide rail shoring in grid boxes 9 through 14. Excavation areas were then backfilled with clean fill to approximately finish grade. Demobilization of non essential equipment began in preparation for the completion of PHASE I.

For the week beginning May 23, demobilization is scheduled to continue as Phase I of the project comes to a conclusion. The waste water treatment plant is scheduled to be taken out of service and demobilized early in the week. All contractor office facilities and equipment will be removed from site. Final grade of the remediation and staging areas will be completed. Work will be conducted Monday-Friday from 7:00 AM until 6:00 PM and Saturdays from 8:00 AM until 6:00 PM. Saturday work may not be necessary this week. It is anticipated that the project will be completed prior to substation’s peak demand season.
