All containers should be identified and labelled with the selected inventory system. During transport of the dismantled pieces, great care should be taken to ensure minimal damage to the components. The containers will be covered with tarps for transport and possible long-term storage and will then be loaded onto vehicles for transport. The plan should be revised to state that dismantled pieces will be properly loaded, packed, and secured into containers with protective padding for transport. The plan does not currently provide for how the dismantled pieces will be securely bundled for transport.If possible, the dismantled pieces should be lowered to the ground onto pallets with protective padding in preparation for its transport to a storage area.
When cross members, vertical beams, and tension rods are lifted and placed on the ground, great care should be taken to ensure minimal damage to the components.If hand tools are not able to remove bolts and fasteners, and a torch is deemed necessary for removal, great care should be taken to ensure minimal damage to the components.The process will cause minimal permanent damage to the steel members and leave little evidence of reassembly, once completed. Great care will be taken in the removal and disassembly of the Gasometer and that, if performed as outlined in the plan, will allow for proper reassembly of the Gasometer in the future.Prior to the start of any physical dismantling, the Gasometer should be photographically documented using both still and drone images and videos.
for the Gasometer should be revised to include and address the following: In addition, the Demolition and Disposal Plan prepared by Demolition Services, Inc. If demolition of the Gasometer is absolutely necessary for adequate site remediation, the Gasometer should be carefully dismantled, safely stored, and rebuilt on the Fulton Gas Works site. We respectfully request that the City make every effort possible not to dismantle the Gasometer and the boiler building and to work around them. We also understand that, according to the Site Characterization Plan prepared by Timmons Group on May 30, 2017, provided on that website “the proposed demolition of the remaining structures of the former facility will offer great advances toward site remediation by providing mechanisms for source removal.” However, we also note that none of the reports provided on the website state that demolition is required in order to effectively remediate the site. We understand that the Fulton Gas Works site is a part of a remediation program under the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (Virginia Voluntary Remediation Program) and that a number of environmental assessments have been completed and have been provided via the website Natural Gas Utility | Richmond (rva.gov).
