How we keep disruption low
The area being worked on is cleared, isolated and contained until the work is finished and cleared. We plan the sequence, phasing and timing with you, including night and weekend shifts, so the rest of the facility is disrupted as little as possible.
Phasing
Work split into areas and sequences planned with you, so less of the building is affected at any one time.
Negative air
High-risk enclosures under negative pressure with HEPA-filtered exhaust, so air flows into the work area, not out of it.
After-hours work
Night and weekend shifts where they reduce disruption
Cleared, restricted work areas
The work area is cleared and closed off, with signs and controlled routes for crews and waste, until the work is finished and cleared.
Occupant notices
Plain-language notices for staff, students, patients or residents
Trade coordination
Clearance planned into the schedule so the mechanical, plumbing, sprinkler and electrical trades behind us are not held up.
How every project runs
Assess
Site walk-through and review of the hazardous materials survey from your independent hazmat consultant, with a clear approach and timeline.
Plan
Containment, sequence and schedule planned with you, to limit disruption to the rest of the building and the trades that follow.
Contain
Restricted work areas, negative-pressure enclosures with HEPA filtration and decontamination for high-risk work.
Remove and dispose
Removal by trained and certified asbestos workers; manifested hazardous waste disposal, with recycling where possible.
Clear and close out
Your independent hazmat consultant carries out clearance air testing where required; we build it into the schedule and provide closeout documentation as the project requires.
