This project is to remove an abandoned boiler that is corroded and starting to leak. The boiler needs to be removed, but not replaced. Currently, the cold-water supply to the boiler feeds two aircraft hangars. The cold water will need to be re-piped.

The boiler is located on a mezzanine with the only access being a ~12 ft vertical ladder. The mezzanine contains other equipment nearby and below that shall not be damaged. Given the tight space in the boiler room, pictures may provide a clear view of the layout and the site visit attendance is strongly encouraged. The boiler dimensions are 59” x 163” x 83” and weighs close to 7,000 lb. The boiler make and model are Sellers BT-50-650.  It is anticipated that the boiler will require dismantling through cutting/torch operations prior to removal from the mezzanine.  Boiler is constructed of mostly steel. No asbestos is present. Some fiberglass insulation may be present.

A site visit is scheduled for Thursday 11 January 2024 at 1:00PM. In order to schedule, please contact [email protected] will meet at the Civil Engineering Building 25, 1 Air National Guard Rd, Scotia, NY 12302.
