URS Corporation

URS has worked with the United States Department of Defense Threat Reduction Agency at installations throughout the country to eliminate weapons of mass destruction and Cold-War-era weapons systems. In Russia and the Ukraine, we have eliminated hundreds of intercontinental ballistic missiles, and in Shchuch’ye, Russia, we helped construct and integrate the systems needed to operate and maintain a chemical demilitarization facility.

URS also is under contract to destroy 78 percent of the weapons in the U.S. chemical-weapons stockpile. We have constructed four of the Army’s nine chemical weapons demilitarization facilities and manage and operate several of the facilities.

We are the prime contractor at the Tooele Chemical Agent Disposal Facility in Utah, where we are responsible for the construction, systemization, operations and maintenance, as well as the eventual closure, of multiple incinerator systems. In addition to Tooele, we are performing chemical demilitarization operations in Anniston, Alabama; Pine Bluff, Arkansas; and Umatilla, Oregon. Since 1990, we have safely eliminated millions of individual chemical munitions, including bombs, landmines, rockets and artillery projectiles filled with lethal nerve agents at these facilities.
