The facility will process the Hanford Site tank waste and convert the waste into a stable glass form. The Project site is located in the 200 East Area of the Hanford Reservation near Richland, Washington, along the Columbia River. The site elevation varies from 662 to 684 feet above mean sea level. Ambient temperature range is -23 degrees F minimum to 113 degrees F maximum, with relative humidity of 5% minimum to 100% maximum. The project design life is 40 years. SCOPE OF WORK SUBCONTRACTOR shall perform field Non-Destructive Examinations (NDE) on approximately 7,000 pipe welds in newly fabricated pipe spools ranging from 0.5" to 26" diameter, to ASME B31.3 Code and other specific site requirements. NDE shall also be performed on structural welds in accordance with the AWS D1.1 and D1.6 Structural Welding Codes, on an as needed basis. NDE includes, but is not limited to, Piping welds only - Automated Ultrasonic Testing (AUT) and/or Semi Automated Ultrasonic Testing (SAUT), as defined in ASME Section V, using 360 o, X-Y-Z directional pipe scanning equipment employing phased array technology, and which creates and maintains a reproducible computerized image(s) of the entire weld in the axial, circumferential and radial directions, and employs Olympus NDT Tomoview software, or equivalent equipment and software; Piping and Structural welds - Ultrasonic Thickness Testing (UTT); manual Ultrasonic Testing (MUT); conventional film Radiographic Testing (RT), and Computed Radiographic Testing (CRT), using Virtual Media Integration, Ltd. (VMI) equipment and Starview software or equivalent equipment and software. RT/CRT shall include the ability to use Iridium192, Selenium75 radiation sources, and/or battery powered pulsed x-ray generator; Liquid Penetrant Testing (PT); and Magnetic Particle Testing (MT); Delta Ferrite Tests, and; Positive Material Identification (PMI) using an infrared spectroscopic analyzer. SUBCONTRACTOR shall provide all equipment and consumables associated with NDE activities. NDE will be performed in all WTP facilities, i.e., High-Level Waste (HLW), Low-Activity Waste (LAW), Analytical Laboratory (LAB), Pretreatment Facility (PT), Balance of Facilities (BOF), and potentially the Material Handling Facility, including working outdoors.
