Winter Environmental has performed our services at three power plants owned and operated by the Tennessee Valley Authority, with a fourth ongoing at the Paradise Fossil Plant. Originally brought online between 1963 and 1970 and fully retired by 2020, the site is undergoing large-scale decommissioning and demolition. Winter Environmental was subcontracted by the demolition prime contractor to perform asbestos abatement, decontamination, and removal of regulated materials in preparation for schedule-critical demolition activities.

The scope includes friable and non-friable asbestos abatement, lead-based paint removal, Universal Waste management, and regulated equipment decontamination across cooling towers, coal handling systems, tunnels, and plant interiors. Cooling tower work alone included 975 square feet of duct insulation, coatings on 60-inch piping, 1,096,640 Transite fill sheets, and over 900 asbestos-containing pipe thimbles. Additional facility-wide abatement has addressed more than 80,000 linear feet of pipe insulation, 116,000 square feet of Galbestos, 37,891 square feet of tank insulation, 16,000 square feet of economizer wall insulation, and 33,000 square feet of duct insulation, along with Transite panels, roofing materials, vent hoods, lab counters, popcorn ceilings, and light fixture insulation. Work is being executed under strict safety and environmental protocols to meet TVA’s program goals.
