Project Description:
This acquisition is for the construction of a Medical Waste Incinerator Facility located at Fort Detrick in Frederick, Maryland. This project will provide a building housing new state-of-the-art medical waste incinerators to dispose of all laboratory, medical and infectious waste generated on Fort Detrick, Maryland including BSL3/BSL4 waste. The facility will be approximately 14,000 square feet in size. The incinerators will have N+1 redundancy at an anticipated 550lb units (2 units each with a capacity of 550 lbs/hr). The facility is expected to process one (1) million pounds of medical waste yearly (it is assumed that at a minimum 8 hrs/day, 5 day/wk operation of a single unit could achieve the necessary one million point throughput, annually). The general waste characterization includes Plastic, Sharps, Biologicals and Paper. This facility will accept waste from nine (9) sources (minimum). The facility will be built on Fort Detrick, Maryland and will be a single construction award.
