Blue Grass Army Depot is a Department of Defense chemical agent destruction pilot plant located in east central Kentucky. The depot is primarily involved in industrial and related activities associated with the storage and maintenance of conventional and chemical munitions. The project was ran through Bechtel National, which is the systems contractor for the Blue Grass Army Depot location. There were various projects completed on site. One scope of work consisted of intumescent fireproofing application and quality verification testing in a facility disposing of chemical weapons containing various chemical agents. Every individual piece of steel was evaluated during the design phase to determine if it met the UL263/E-119 listing requirements and if the thickness recommended needed to be increased to meet the hourly rating. Various areas required a range of ratings from 1hr to 4hrs. Another scope of work involved concrete special coatings in a facility disposing of chemical weapons containing Mustard, VX, and Sarin nerve agents. Many of the rooms are six sided concrete containment rooms and others are concrete floors and curbs with prefabricated wall panels. Coatings and HVAC scopes are essential to the successful operation of the facility. The coatings required to be holiday or pinhole free due to the potential hazard of the gases or agents contaminating the concrete. Extremely high quality control and strict safety policies were required throughout all jobs.
