Demolition & Decommissioning

Champion Specialty Services delivers high-performance demolition and decommissioning (D&D) services for the demanding standards of the nuclear energy sector and other highly regulated environments. With more than 35 years of team experience in radioactive demolition and site remediation, our capabilities span the full lifecycle of nuclear facility closure—from initial teardown through final waste handling and site restoration.

Our D&D work is defined by extensive industry knowledge and a commitment to safety above all else. We specialize in dismantling complex, reinforced structures and systems in active or decommissioning nuclear facilities. One of our notable projects is the Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant, where our team supported the decommissioning of large-scale plant components with strict adherence to NRC safety and environmental protocols.

Champion’s nuclear team has considerable experience in working across DOE and NRC-regulated sites, giving us a solid understanding of the technical and regulatory challenges these projects involve. We bring proven processes, qualified personnel, and tailored execution plans to meet every requirement.

Equipment & Capabilities

To ensure precision and safety in every demolition task, Champion deploys a range of advanced tools and technologies. This includes:

• Wire cutting and thermal (torch) cutting for structural steel and heavy components
• Robotic Brock units to safely dismantle high-risk areas while keeping radiation exposure levels low
• Custom rigging and segmentation strategies for large, radioactive components
• Clean-up, transportation and disposal of hazardous waste through Champion Environmental Services

These tools, combined with administrative and engineering controls, allow us to reduce exposure risks, improve efficiency, and maintain full control over project variables.

Safety is not a goal—it’s a requirement. With one of the lowest EMR ratings in the industry, Champion demonstrates its commitment to worker safety and regulatory compliance across all projects. Our teams are trained specifically for high-hazard environments and maintain a strict adherence to DOE and NRC safety protocols.
