Introduction

 

Project Examples: Brownfield Redevelopment
Brownfield Redevelopment > Former Brewery

This site consisted of a large abandoned and dilapidated 10 acre brewery complex along a major entry corridor to downtown Fort Wayne. SES Environmental assisted the Fort Wayne Redevelopment Commission with this project by completing a Phase I ESA, and Phase II Investigation.

The Phase I ESA revealed several on-site concerns related to former underground fuel storage tank areas, and machinery operation areas. Several off-site concerns related to surrounding industries were also identified. Subsequent Phase II investigation ruled out off-site concerns, and successfully delineated the full nature and extent of fuel oil contaminated soil. This information was then used to evaluate potential costs associated with remediation. Based on this evaluation, the Fort Wayne Redevelopment Commission moved forward with condemnation of the facility.

The facility was sold to Current Mechanical, a commercial and industrial mechanical contracting firm. Current Mechanical has redeveloped the old brewery into a warehouse, fabrication shop, office space and retail parts store.
