MDB Construction
PM Assembled Chemical Weapons Alternatives
Aug. 13, 2012 | 2:51
Construction workers at the Blue Grass Chemical Agent-Destruction Pilot Plant completed the final concrete placement on the main weapons-processing building – the culmination of a nine-year design and construction effort. Workers have installed nearly 2,095 tons of thick reinforcing steel and encased the infrastructure in more than 12,400 cubic yards of concrete. This is a major construction milestone for the facility. The Munitions Demilitarization Building (MDB) is where the Blue Grass chemical weapons stockpile will be disassembled, the explosives removed and the agent and explosives neutralized. It will house several pieces of advanced equipment designed specifically for this facility and is designed and built to withstand an unlikely weapon explosion or chemical leak. Also available in high definition.
