Workers Install Crane in Hanford’s High-Level Waste Facility
RICHLAND, Wash. - Construction crews recently installed a crane inside the Hanford Site Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant's High-Level Waste Facility. Located in one of the facility's decontamination areas, the crane will support maintenance and repair of other equipment in the area after the facility becomes operational. The crane is the 12th piece of equipment lowered through the roof using the site's tower crane this year, following previous installations of shield doors and other cranes. Tower cranes are used to hoist and move materials. The team plans to install more than 40 additional pieces this way before finishing the building's roof.
