A planning-level model for estimating quantities of wastes generated by the demolition of structures during remediation

A model is presented to estimate quantities of wastes generated by the demolition of various types of industrial structures. It is intended to be used for preliminary planning purposes in the absence of any detailed structure-specific information. Detailed material quantity estimates compiled for structures at the U.S. Department of Energy's Fernald site in Ohio were used to develop the statistical relationships in the model. The model provides estimates of the total quantity of wastes, the quantities of waste concrete, and the quantities of wastes that originate from at-, below-, and above-grade portions of a structure.
