One of the most important tasks Cambria Contracting Inc is responsible for during a large scale demolition project is the environmental remediation of the site at the end of the project. Environmental Remediation is the removal of pollution and/or contaminants from soils, groundwater, sediments, and/or surface water. This is stage of a large scale demolition is critical as if it is done incorrectly it can inflict large scale harm to local human health and the larger environment in general. The issues at stake with environmental remediation projects make it essential to use a firm who has worked closely with the DEC like Cambria Contracting Inc. Most remediations in general are subjected to a plethora or regulatory requirements from several levels of government. Both knowledge and experience are crucial in making sure these regulations are met or surpassed.
A Brownfield Site is a defunct or abandoned industrial or commercial site that is now zoned or available for re-use. However, re-using the site is oftern in conflict with real or perceived contamination threats left over from the previous occupants. Cambria Contracting Inc. is well versed in bringing sites like this up to code. Different requirements exist for different types of remediations. Paper Mills, Power Plants, and Industrial Forges have several similarities as far as waste goes (asbestos, industrial greases) but they also have significant differences in contaminants as well. Cambria Contracting's familiarity with these specifications is what makes them the best in North America.
Once a Brownfield site is remediated to a Greenfield status, it is safe for re-use once more. The value of a location is intrinsic in pursuing projects like this for re-use. But often regulations cite that environmental remediation also must be at the end of any demolition project with known hazards. Part of Cambria Contracting Inc's success is that they handle all phases of a demolition project from start to finish. Their staff and engineers have worked closely with the DEC in the past and understand what is necessary to rehabilitate a site. Cambria Contracting Inc is an invaluable asset to companies and governments alike that must take on large-scale demolition projects.

Cambria Contracting Rolls Away with a Rolling Mill
Whether you know it or not rolling mills probably play a big role in your life. Rolling mills are industrial complexes where metals are flattened between to rollers, or in some cases turned into wires. From aluminum foil to the steel that makes up your car, you have likely come into contact with a product that was at one point inside a rolling mill.
As any EPA intern worth his testing vials can tell you, these mills also have harmful chemicals on hand as part of the waste that comes from the creation of any pure metal. As such the decommissioning and eventual demolition of a rolling mill requires significant testing and experience to mitigate the existing environmental threat. Cambria Contracting Inc. is capable of handling all of these steps.
Let's take Cambria Contracting's experience with an asset reduction plant in Hannibal, Ohio. A daunting 800,000 sq. ft. compound, this reduction facility had it all. Traditional concrete, asbestos in almost everything, tons of universal waste, mercury, and hazardous waste such as oils, grease and soot residue. This plant had long stood on the outskirts of Hannibal OH and many archaic building materials used at its inception now required the specialties that Cambria Contracting offered.
The first part of Cambria Contracting's task was to decommission and demolish the casting house. Decommissioning took time as the asbestos abatement had to remove the pipe insulation, caulk, mastic and other debris in a special containment room which captures the asbestos fibers in a safe room. After that the casting house was ready to be torn down. Using Cambria Contracting's heavy machinery this was done quickly.
The next phase of the project involved significant amounts of environmental remediation. Cambria Contracting was able to handle all of the oils, grease and residues left over. All inline with EPA specifications.
Cambria Contracting has many projects like this in its history and is proud of the continued great work we do.

Cambria Contracting Inc. Helping Local Economies
Cambria Contracting is not only dedicated to its craft, it is also dedicated to providing a strong economic impact for the local communities in which it works. By using local labor on the majority of its projects Cambria Contracting has been able to watch communities flourish through the hiring of local labor lots of it.
A perfect example of this is the asbestos abatement performed at Rochester, NY's Midtown Rising Project. Taking place in early 2009, Cambria Contracting began handling the asbestos abatement and quickly hired on over 200 workers for the project, all from Rochester. Furthermore, of the 200 employees hired, nearly half of them were minorities or women. In a time of significant economic downturn these high paying jobs were a boon to the local Rochester economy. Both Rochester's Mayor Robert J. Duffy and Empire Development Chairman Dennis M. Mullen stated that this focus on hiring local talent as a significant indicator of a significant re-envelopment project going wonderfully.
“I am absolutely thrilled to see local workers performing these good-paying jobs,” said Mayor
Duffy. “Men and women who remember the proud vibrancy of Midtown Plaza and witnessed its decline
are now helping us write the next chapter in the history of downtown Rochester. Gov. Paterson’s
investment in our city is clearly paying dividends.”
Cambria Contracting understands the value it can provide to the local economies in which it works. In addition to the significant environmental threats they mitigate, and safe work spaces they create, Cambria Contracting also remains dedicated to helping the people of the communities they work in.

Cambria Contracting has the expertise needed for the largest of industrial demolitions. Including the specific intricacies of taking down power plants. The demolition of a power plant must also account for any and all hazardous materials which may be released from this process. Cambria Contracting's high rate of employee retention ensures that they have the expertise in place to handle the elements of a demolition which may compromise the immediate environment.
A prime example of Cambria Contracting's work in this field would be a review of a power plant in New York state that they demolished, but decommissioned, and oversaw the environmental remediation of the project as well. Cambria Contracting's role in this process gives them unique insight into what a successful project takes.
The decommissioning of this coal power plant in upstate New York had several factors Cambria Contracting had to take into consideration before getting to work. One of the structures was just 35 feet from an active railroad line, asbestos abatement was required, and there was a large pile of coal on the 60 acre site.
Furthermore part of the called for demolition was underwater in the form of intake channels for the power plant to operate. Cambria Contracting not only was able to mitigate all of these factors, but they did so in impressive fashion. Including a successful 500 ft tower implosion 35 ft from the rail line. The removal, transporting by rail, and safe disposal of fly ash, contaminated coal, and unusable soil. Then replacing it with new fill. Furthermore Cambria Contracting worked to recycle the items which were approved to do so by the DEC. It's another great job done by Cambria Contracting.
