Homeland Security Capital Corporation, an international provider of specialized technology-based radiological, nuclear, environmental, disaster relief and security solutions to government and commercial customers, announced today that its environmental remediation subsidiary, Safety and Ecology Corporation (SEC) was recently awarded $3 million for their contribution to a demolition project at the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) located in Los Alamos, NM.

The $6 million contract was awarded to ARSEC Environmental, LLC, which is a Joint Venture between American Radiation Services, Inc (dba ARS International) and SEC. Under this contract, the team will abate hazardous materials, demolish and dispose of the 316,500-foot main Administration Building (SM-43) as well as three connecting walkways. The SM-43 building was originally designed in 1953 as a combination office and laboratory space, with occupancy in 1956. The 18-month project is scheduled to be complete in November 2011.
“The need to clean up and secure hazardous waste is a top national priority and we are proud to be selected as part of a team to work at Los Alamos,” said C. Thomas McMillen, Chairman and CEO of HOMS.
The demolition project falls under LANL’s Infrastructure Support Program. The team was recently recognized with a Pollution Prevention award for successful execution and significant recycling on a previous demolition project at LANL.
“We are excited about this award,” said Christopher Leichtweis, SEC’s CEO and President of Homeland Security Capital Corporation. “These projects support the initiative to achieve continued reduction in the nuclear weapons complex footprint at LANL.”
