The principal goal of the demonstration was to establish whether the VecLoader HEPA vacuum system could safely and effectively remove insulation from walls. This determination would be based on the VecLoader’s ability relative to the baseline manual method, to achieve the following objectives: · reduced airborne contamination (radionuclides and insulation fiber) · increased productivity (insulation removal rate) · reduced waste volume · reduced costs · reduced worker contact with insulation · reduced health and safety risks · reduced personal protective equipment (PPE) requirements.

Demo Results

The technology was successful its ability to safely and effectively remove 4 inch-thick insulation mineral wool from walls. The technology is easy to use and problems than arose were quickly resolved
