✦ Synopsis

Curtiss-Wright Corp has secured contracts worth US$11 million from Savannah River Remediation LLC for submersible mixer and transfer pumps for the processing and remediation of nuclear waste materials.

The Curtiss-Wright equipment will be installed in large underground tanks at the Department of Energy's Savannah River Site to prepare the radioactive waste for processing and then transfer it to on-site remediation facilities. Savannah River Remediation LLC is the site's liquid waste operations contractor. Curtiss-Wright's Flow Control segment will design and supply the equipment from its facility in Cheswick, Pennsylvania, with the first delivery scheduled for November 2010. The contracts were funded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
