In Western New York, many aging buildings still contain hazardous materials such as asbestos. As a trusted provider of abatement services, Regional Environmental Demolition Inc. (R.E.D.) specializes in controlled demolitions with asbestos in place. This complex process requires meticulous planning and execution to ensure safety and compliance with all relevant regulations.
Understanding Controlled Demolitions with Asbestos
Controlled demolition involves the careful dismantling of structures while managing the presence of asbestos. Unlike traditional demolition methods, this process requires specialized techniques to prevent the release of asbestos fibers into the air. At R.E.D., our team is trained and equipped to handle these projects safely and efficiently.
The Process
1. Initial Assessment: Our experts begin by conducting a thorough assessment of the building to identify the presence and extent of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). This step is crucial for developing a comprehensive demolition plan that ensures all safety protocols are followed.
2. Developing a Safety Plan: Based on the assessment, we create a site-specific Health and Safety Plan (HASP). This plan outlines the procedures for safely managing and removing asbestos during demolition, ensuring compliance with OSHA, DEC, DOL, EPA, and DOT regulations.
3. Containment and Removal: Before demolition begins, containment measures are put in place to prevent asbestos fibers from spreading. Our team uses advanced equipment and techniques to carefully remove asbestos from the building, following strict safety guidelines.
4. Demolition: With asbestos safely managed, we proceed with the controlled demolition. Our experienced team ensures that the demolition is executed precisely, minimizing dust and debris. We use specialized tools and machinery to dismantle the structure safely.
5. Disposal: Proper disposal of asbestos-containing materials is critical. R.E.D. follows all regulatory requirements for the safe transport and disposal of hazardous waste, ensuring that it is handled responsibly.
