Bechtel Jacobs Company, LLC, (BJC) under contract to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is the prime contractor for the demolition of the K-25 and K-27 uranium enrichment facilities in Oak Ridge, TN. WESKEM is subcontracted to BJC to provide all waste management operations under the BJC closure contract. On occasion, WESKEM also provides other services to BJC based on excellent performance on the base contract.

BJC awarded WESKEM a $4.5 million contract to install a new electrical distribution system in the K-25 and K-27 buildings. This new electrical distribution system was needed to support the demolition activities in the facilities because the installed system was old and not safe to operate. WESKEM and its subcontractors provided all labor, materials, supplies, and equipment necessary to install the electrical power distribution system including two lighting systems in the two buildings within a very short timeframe (several months) to support the BJC project schedule.

WESKEM completed the utility services project on time and within the project budget with no accidents or injuries.
