July 01 2021 - 7:00AM
Atlas Technical Consultants, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATCX) (“Atlas” or the
“Company”), a leading Infrastructure and Environmental services
provider, announced today that it was awarded a $4.1 million
contract to perform quality inspection services and third-party
inspection and testing for the Lead, South Dakota Sanford
Underground Research Facility’s (Sanford Lab) Long-Baseline
Neutrino Facility (LBNF). Atlas will work as part of the
Kiewit-Alberici Joint Venture (JV) with a contract term of 3.5
years. The LBNF will serve as home to the Deep Underground Neutrino
Experiment (DUNE), the most ambitious particle physics experiment
on U.S. soil, hosted by the Department of Energy’s Fermilab.
“We are honored to be a contributor to this
one-of-a-kind innovative project that brings together funding and
expertise from around the world. Our selection is a testament to
Atlas’ laboratory accreditation and technical expertise that
provides quality assurance for our clients working in various
environments across the country,” said Atlas CEO, L. Joe Boyer.
Atlas has provided services including certified
welding inspection, concrete and soil testing, storm water
sampling, and Health and Safety plans over the past two years for
this project. Atlas’s mobile A2LA certification material testing
lab will be deployed for this project.
This project involves building a physics lab
deep inside an old gold mine, approximately one mile below the
surface of the earth. To achieve this, workers will blast and drill
to remove 800,000 tons of rock to make a home for the gigantic
detector and its support systems. During excavation, the conveyor
system will run approximately 10 hours per day, transporting
between 1,500 and 2,500 tons of rock daily for the next three
years.
Atlas has worked safely with the Department of
Energy for years, always keeping the safety and health of the crews
and community as a steadfast priority. The company is committed to
maintaining a strong safety culture and a healthy, hazard-free work
environment for all who operate in, visit, or enter clients’
facilities and job sites.
