Building 158,161,208, Technical Area 46, LANL

Project Description:

This project was the prime contractor on the Refurbishing of Building 158, 161, and 208 at TA 46. The buildings were used for warehouse, offices and laser experiments before construction and building 208 was below ground and used as a warehouse. After construction the buildings were used for analyzing LANL's waste streams and for the laser experiments. The project entailed changing the warehouse into a laboratory for analyzing waster for chemical and radioactive contaminants. A storage vessel capable of holding radioactive waste was incorporated in the site for contaminates in the waste.  The offices were refurbished with new electrical and mechanical systems and the laser experiment room was moved from building158 to building 208. This project was in a non-secure area of Los Alamos National Laboratory.

During construction the laser experiments were being conducted in building 158.  This required that all electrical power be maintained to the room the lasers were housed in and was also to provide safe access into and out of the room with the laser.

Michael S. Rich Contractors, Inc. completed the project before the contract completion date.  The original completion date was 5/8/97 with the contract modification the date was changed to 6/30/97.  Actual completion date was 5/30/97.
