Asbestos Surveys

Raw Asbestos Fibers

Building inspections for suspect ACM are prudent when: the property or business ownership is being transferred or is undergoing financing/refinancing; the building is more than 10 years old or is to be demolished or renovated; the building contains interior finishes; original heating and cooling systems or roofs are to be replaced. The typical asbestos survey and building inspection includes: review of as-built drawings to identify the types, locations and ages of any suspect ACM; development of an inspection plan to specify work tasks, inspection procedures, and analytical techniques; development of an inspection schedule; assignment of inspection/sampling personnel; bulk sampling of suspect ACM. A final asbestos survey report includes: an inventory of sampled suspect ACM, assessments of the physical condition of suspect ACM, laboratory analytical sample results, and recommendations.
