Additional Scope of Services
Asbestos Hazard Assessments/Building Surveys - AET's EPA AHERA Certified
and/or State licensed Building Inspectors conduct asbestos surveys prior to real estate transfers, renovations, or demolition of buildings. Our Inspections include an inventory of accessible building areas to determine the presence of suspect asbestos containing materials. Documentation includes estimates as to linear/square footages of each material, its condition, accessibility, friability and potential for fiber release. Analysis of suspect asbestos containing material samples is performed in AET's AIHA/NIST Accredited Environmental Science Laboratory. Building inspection reports include detailed recommended response actions and cost estimates for abatement by an EPA Certified Designer or Management Planner.
Abatement Project Specifications - AET's project design team prepares project specifications which contain an explicit, detailed scope of work, directives and required procedures for remediation. AET can also provide a list of qualified bidders, mediate pre-bid meetings/site inspections, assist with the bid review/contractor selection, and supervise of the pre-construction meeting.
Asbestos Project Management/Monitoring - AET assigns a dedicated Project Manager to oversee each abatement project and ensure efficient scheduling, priority analysis, and compliance with project specifications. An on-site Industrial Hygiene Technician can perform daily air monitoring before, during and after the duration of each project in accordance with federal, state, and local regulations and maintain of daily inspection logs. AET verifies the completion of the asbestos project by conducting a visual inspection of the abatement area to ensure that the work site is in compliance with the established criteria. Inspections are followed by air monitoring of the abatement area utilizing aggressive air sampling to ensure final airborne asbestos levels meet design criteria or mandatory state/local regulatory limits. A comprehensive report detailing the daily work activities and related tests are then prepared by a Certified Industrial Hygienist.
Operations and Maintenance Programs - Removal of all asbestos containing materials in a building is frequently neither technically nor economically feasible. Wholesale removal is not mandated by existing federal, state or local regulations. The goal of an asbestos operations and maintenance program is to manage the asbestos material in-place by maintaining materials in good condition, isolation/restriction of designated areas and by the implementation of effective written work practice procedures.
