On June 21, 2008 S.A.Robotics was informed that they had won the contract with the
Washington Division of URS Corporation in Pine Bluff to design and build a Ton Handling System. This System is a glovebox line of three identical gloveboxes for ton container handling and a supporting overhead crane to complete transfer operations. Supporting equipment inside the glovebox includes ton container rests and a fixture tool for operations. External support equipment around the glovebox line includes a preparation ton container platform and elevated walkways for operation loading and unloading. S.A.Robotics is eager to begin the construction on the Ton Handling System in order to meet the accelerated due date of December 2008.

S.A.Robotics recently won the contract with Brookhaven Science Associates for the turnkey decommissioning of the Brookhaven Graphite Research Reactor. This reactor was used for medical research starting in the 1960s. The reactor is made up of 64,000 blocks of graphite cocooned in a 4-foot-thick concrete/steel bioshield. S.A.Robotics is the prime contractor with ECC, Burns & Roe, and Babcock Services to completely decommission the graphite reactor on an accelerated 18-month schedule.
Brookhaven National Laboratory
S.A.Robotics is responsible for the following:
- Project Management
- Specialized Remote Tooling (Manipulators, Containments, Waste Systems)
- Removal of Graphite Core
- Waste Packaging
- Demolition of 4’ thick bioshield
- Final Building Decontamination
Success on this project will define us as significant trend setters for the nuclear industry because there are numerous graphite moderated reactors all over the world. This trend will showcase how efficiently a graphite reactor can be decommissioned when innovation meets strong project delivery. The decommissioning of graphite reactors involves unique technologies that have been developed, owned, and operated by S.A.Robotics. This exciting new project will be the focus of the S.A.Robotics family, as we strive to meet all deadlines and successfully complete the decommissioning of the Brookhaven Graphite Research Reactor.
