Hazardous Materials Abatement
Handling and removal of less common regulated materials, including PCBs, mercury-containing components, and other site-specific hazards.
Overview
Some hazardous materials fall outside common categories like asbestos or lead but still require controlled handling. These are often encountered during renovation, demolition, or industrial work.
We identify and manage site-specific hazards, ensuring they are handled appropriately based on the material and conditions.
Inspection & Assessment
These materials are not always obvious, so site conditions are reviewed before work proceeds.
The assessment process includes:
Inspecting suspect materials and components
Sampling and testing where needed
Evaluating risks based on condition and planned work
This ensures materials are properly identified before handling begins.
Handling & Removal
Each material is managed using methods suited to its properties and the site conditions.
Some examples are:
Removal of mercury-containing devices and spill cleanup
Identification and handling of PCB-containing materials
Silica dust control during cutting or drilling
Where multiple hazards exist, they are handled together in a coordinated way.
Containment
Controls are adjusted based on the materials involved and the type of work being performed.
Controls are implemented through:
Isolating active work areas
Setting up containment where required
Coordinating with ongoing site activities
This keeps work organized and contained without impacting surrounding areas.
Disposal
Disposal requirements vary depending on the type of material involved, with each requiring specific handling and approved processing. See our Hazardous Waste Disposal page.
Related Services
Hazardous materials are often found alongside other issues, requiring a broader scope of work.
