July 2025
The Veolia – CTI mentor-protégé joint venture, CTI-VNS Federal Environmental 2, LLC, is part of the winning team awarded the Super Cell 11 Earthworks excavation project at the Hanford Environmental Restoration Disposal Facility (ERDF) by Central Plateau Cleanup Company.
The huge, lined landfill in the center of the 580-square-mile nuclear reservation is once again nearing capacity after four expansions and more than 19 million tons of waste disposed of in it since it opened in 1995. Workers are constructing an 11th disposal cell, called a “super cell” because it and two others are twice the size of each of ERDF’s first eight cells. The new cell is scheduled to be complete by September 2028 and is planned to hold 2.8 million cubic yards of waste – enough capacity to allow certain environmental cleanup projects to continue through 2040.
CVE 2 is performing QA and Safety services, as well as surveying and materials testing for the prime contractor, BCSS, LLC, an 8A Alaska Native company.
