EE&G Construction & Electrical was contracted by The Morris company to perform asbestos abatement of 83,000sf of floor tile and mastic within the space.

The Kmart store had been at the location since 1976 but since its closing the current owner has decided to renovate the existing floorplan, update the building façade and bring in a new retail chain to the Fort Pierce area.

This project has been a success for EE&G due to the combined efforts of the Melbourne, Tampa and Miami Company 07 offices.

EE&G was retained by the Miami Beach Community Church of Florida to conduct final clearance air testing following the removal of asbestos-containing black HVAC duct.
Task 1 – Abatement Contractor for Asbestos Removal and Clearance Air Monitoring

EE&G provided labor and materials to wet remove and dispose of the asbestos-containing materials. Work was conducted following a pre-determined schedule of 6-7 workdays in one continuous mobilization. EE&G technicians conducted final clearance air monitoring and provided project supervision, under the supervision of a Florida-licensed Asbestos Consultant, for the removal of asbestos-containing materials.

EE&G collected seventeen (17) air samples within the containment using high-volume air pumps to draw air through 25-millimeter (mm) diameter mixed cellulose ester (MCE) filters with 0.8-micron diameter pores that were mounted in plastic cassettes with 50-millimeter anti-static cowls. The pumps were calibrated in the field with a rotometer, which had been calibrated using a primary standard to a flow rate of 10 liters of air per minute (LPM).

Air samples were analyzed by phase-contrast microscopy (PCM) in accordance with the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health Method 7400 with results reported as fiber per cubic centimeter of air (f/cc) and compared to the United States Environmental Protection Agency clean air standard of 0.010 f/cc of air.
The PCM analysis indicated that the fiber concentration for the air samples collected in the enclosures was less than 0.005 f/cc. Therefore, the results obtained were below the EPA standard and indicated a “pass.”

EE&G was retained by BDI Construction in for a pre-renovation asbestos abatement project in Miami, FL to provide all labor and materials to remove and dispose of multiple layers of asbestos-containing floor tile and mastic at the above-mentioned location.

EE&G provided all management, supervision, and labor in order to perform the work in accordance with the Federal, State and local regulation and under the supervision of a Florida-licensed Asbestos Consultant and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) trained professional.

Work performed included the removal of all debris, rubbish, and materials as required for the performance of the scope of asbestos abatement work, Asbestos abatement including disposal was completed according to Federal, State, and Local regulations. Final clearance testing was conducted using PCM analysis and samples were analyzed by an independent testing laboratory.

EE&G was retained by the Broward County Parks and Recreation Division, Parks Maintenance Group to provide restoration services in connection with a flood event determined to be microbially contaminated water at Sunview Park following Hurricane Irma. The initial tasking included the removal and disposal of water-impacted contents, followed by the removal and disposal of water-impacted building materials below five feet. Then the cleaning and sanitization of remaining non-porous interior and exterior building materials. Finally, post-remediation verification inspections and sampling of the work areas.

EE&G team successfully removed damaged materials, cleaned the remaining materials from the work areas and provided drying equipment to reduce the moisture content of the remaining building materials.

Microbial Swab Sampling

Areas of flood restoration (removals and sanitization) were sampled to determine the efficacy of the methods used. Additionally, EE&G completed verification swabs in order to assess work areas for total surface hygiene.

Restoration Methods

The restoration of the areas was completed by others.
