Complete reconstruction
According to Sogin, the ERSBA 1 storage facility is now undergoing a full-scale overhaul, as part of a broader effort to improve long-term waste handling efficiency and optimize site operations.
The work on the structure – 164 feet (50 meters) long, 98 feet (30 meters) wide, and about 20 feet (6 meters) high – involves the demolition of the roof, the concrete walls, and the foundations, followed by the construction of a new storage facility on the same site, with a volume similar to that of the dismantled building.
“Once civil engineering work is complete, two overhead cranes will be installed inside for the handling of waste containers and plant systems,” the enterprise says.
