Plant Yates, Abatement and Demolition of Units 1-5 in Newnan, GA
Project Summary:
D.H. Griffin Demolition's Plant Yates project in Newnan, GA involved the decommissioning of a 1,250 MW coal-fired power plant consisting of five units. The scope of work included comprehensive asbestos abatement and demolition of Units 1-5, along with the removal of coal yard structures, scrubber facilities, precipitators, hoppers, piping, turbines, boilers, and all tanks on site. Additionally, outlying buildings and structures were demolished. Prior to demolition, industrial cleaning was carried out to remove coal dust and ash. A combination of conventional and explosive demolition techniques was used, including the removal of an 830-foot-tall stack. The large-scale asbestos abatement component was performed by Demolition & Asbestos Removal Inc. (DARI). Erosion control measures were implemented throughout the project, and strict quality control was applied to ensure proper capping and sealing of piping and drains, as well as compaction of soil for backfill and concrete placement.
