ASBESTOS INSPECTIONS

Asbestos Containing Material (ACM) Inspection is a part of The National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) that requires all buildings to be inspected for asbestos prior to demolition or renovation. The National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) were established by The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to regulate and manage pollutants, such as asbestos, that can harm the environment.

The elements of an Asbestos-Containing Material (ACM) Inspection include:

  • Identify locations and quantities of asbestos containing material (ACM)

  • Provide decision intelligence with reasonable corrective actions, plans to manage ACM, and recommendations that will help you move forward with your project

We provide ACM Inspections across all industries in North and South Carolina. This service may also be completed simultaneously with a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment and may include only limited bulk sampling.

Enviro Probe's asbestos services include:

  • Building surveys and testing

  • Development of plans and specs

  • Bid-walk and contractor selection

  • Abatement project management

Over the past fifteen years, Enviro Probe has established itself as an industry leader in the field of asbestos management, testing and consulting for residential and commercial buildings. Our Certified Asbestos Consultants and Inspectors have successfully completed dozens of asbestos surveys and abatement projects.

Asbestos Survey - Building Surveys and Testing

Enviro Probe helps building owners and managers meet their regulatory requirements to test suspect materials for asbestos prior to renovation or construction activities. To ensure quality, our certified professionals perform all field work in accordance with OSHA, EPA and AHERA protocols. Following the asbestos survey, Enviro Probe provides a comprehensive report of findings that includes the locations, sample results, quantities, cost estimates for asbestos removal and assessment of all asbestos containing materials.

Development of Plans and Specifications and Bidding Assistance

To help our clients obtain competitive prices from abatement contractors and to ensure the work is properly performed, Enviro Probe provides turnkey asbestos management services from development of plans and specifications through final clearance air testing. Plans and specifications provide contractors with project requirements and well defined scope of work, ensuring success and prevention of change orders.
Our goal on every project is to obtain highly competitive bids from quality abatement contractors. Once specifications are prepared, Enviro Probe invites local abatement contractors we have worked with for a bid walk. Once bids are received, Enviro Probe will review each bid and assist with contractor selection.

Abatement Project Management

Enviro Probe can coordinate and manage all aspects of the asbestos abatement project. Before abatement work begins, our personnel ensure that the containment and decontamination facilities are properly constructed. During the project, the Enviro Probe project manager performs daily air monitoring inside and outside the containment and observes the contractor's activities to ensure the work is properly performed. Once abatement is completed and before the containment is removed, the project manager performs a visual inspection and aggressive clearance air monitoring of the work area to ensure the area is safe for re-occupancy.

For all buildings with asbestos, the EPA recommends the development of an asbestos management program to communicate the locations of asbestos to appropriate parties and train building employees on how to work safely around the materials.
