Asbestos/Lead Pre-Alteration Assessments, Project Design, Project Management/Air Monitoring for Asbestos/Lead Abatement in Government Buildings |
Hygieneering just recently completed two government projects in the City of Chicago to support interior office renovations and fire pump replacements that involved both the disturbance of asbestos and lead-based paint. Being that both facilities remained occupied, the facility still needed to maintain normal day-to-day operations and access for staff, maintenance, and the public.
Hygieneering project tasks first involved the performance of a complete Asbestos/Lead Pre-Alteration Inspection to identify the scope of the required abatement. The results of the inspections led to the project design and contractor oversight during the required asbestos and lead abatement in both buildings.
Hygieneering provided daily project management and sampling during the abatement activities to ensure the project performance was conducted in strict compliance with IDPH, IEPA, OSHA, City of Chicago, and NESHAP regulations. These projects were completed on time, on budget with no recordable injuries.
