Construction Progress
A Fisher Tank subcontractor works on the installation
of one of the Hydrolysate Storage tanks.
A team installs and fits embeds in the walls of the
Munitions Demilitarization Building blast-containment
area.
Piping work continues in the Control and Support
Building.
Workers prepare to lift and install a component of the
Nitrogen Processing System.

Munitions Demilitarization
Building (MDB)
Inside, electricians are installing the wiring for the Metal Parts Treater (MPT, above left), while outside, ironworkers “fly in” the first of the many housings
for the MDB filter banks (above right). The MPT will thermally decontaminate the metal parts of the munitions after the chemical agent has been
drained, and the filter banks will clean the air exiting the main processing building. Installation of structural steel also continues on the MDB.

Control and Support
Building (CSB)
Deputy Site Project Manager Anthony Reed discusses the project with a group of Eastern Kentucky University honors students in the Control Room
(CON, above left). During plant operations, CON operators will observe and control all aspects of the automated processing of the chemical agent
munitions. Meanwhile, rolls of some of the 177 miles of wiring to be installed in the CSB are staged for installation (above right).

Utility Building (UB)
The UB is surrounded by the pipe rack that will convey processing chemicals to plant operations activities (above left). Inside the UB, sheet metal
workers install air compressor heating, ventilation and air conditioning ductwork (above right). Outside the UB, installation of the Nitrogen Processing
System continues.

Supercritical Water Oxidation
Processing Building (SPB)
Project workers started installing insulated siding on the SPB in November 2011. The building should be fully enclosed by the end of the calendar year,
allowing the workforce to focus on interior work. Workers prepare insulated panels for installation on the building (above, left) and fly the panels in with a
crane workers to install (above, right).

Laboratory Building (Lab)
Laboratory Building construction has been completed and the building has been turned over for systemization activities. Systemization of the building
should be complete in 2013.

Systemization at BGCAPP
10
 Blue Grass team completed the
Systemization Implementation Plan in
2012
− Maps out construction priorities so we
complete projects in most efficient
manner
− Allows team to prepare for hiring
schedule and plan out key milestone
dates
 Construction team turned over 15
systems and three facilities in 2012
 Systemization is four percent
complete
Systemization is the process by which BGCAPP
workers make sure the procedures, people and
the plant itself are prepared to begin chemical
weapons destruction operations

Construction Industry
Bechtel Parsons
 Our goal remains Zero Accidents
 January OSHA Voluntary Protection Program
Star Status workforce celebration
 May “Safety Pause” reinforced positive safety culture
 Continuing to address safety concerns
• OSHA VPP Program, worker-based safety teams
• Brothers’ Keeper mindset
 Our safety record consistently compares favorably to
industry standards

Economic Impact
 Acquisitions to date
― $102.7 million spent with
Kentucky companies
― $62.8 million spent in Madison
and surrounding counties
 Local payroll to date
― $373 million paid
― $437 million more to be paid
during the remainder of
project
 Held vendor forums, job
fairs
 Staffing in Richmond now
exceeds 990

Machines
 Complete testing and delivery of the Munitions
Washout System
 Completion of Hydrolysate Storage Area tank
installation
 Set Munitions Demilitarization Building (MDB)
filter banks
 Complete MDB structural steel
 Enclose Supercritical Water Oxidation Processing
Building
 Continue construction focus shift from
civil/structural to large-scale pipe and electrical
commodity installation
