SEC benefits as stimulus money finally reaches demolition sector.
Just a few short weeks after the National Demolition Association’s Mike Taylor bemoaned the fact that stimulus package money had yet to percolate down to the demolition sector, Knoxville-based Safety and Ecology Corp. has been named among the companies receiving stimulus contracts this week for Oak Ridge cleanup projects.
SEC’s contract is valued at about $1.5 million and involves demolition of the east wing of the 2000 Complex, which is a series of old Quonset huts at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). ORNL spokesman Billy Stair confirmed the award and said another contract for demolition of the west wing would be awarded later. The work is to be performed between now and April.
