SET was chosen by PSI to be its on-site contractor for removing 8,100 tons of asbestos-contaminated sand from Winthrop Harbor. SET excavated, loaded and hauled this contaminated sand for disposal, ahead of schedule and under budget.

SET also excavated, loaded and hauled approximately 6,700 tons of clean fill sand from the Prairie Harbor, Wisconsin, location back to Winthrop Harbor. The clean sand will be used to create a new feeder beach from where the contaminated sand had been removed.

SET Environmental was called to work with a chemical manufacturer in Port Arthor, Texas. Two of their waste aluminum alkyl tanks – each containing 7,000 pounds of partially unreacted aluminum alkys with solvents and aluminum powder solids – had deteriorated over the past 15 years until the consistency of the material would not flow out of the valves.
