VERTEX provided Facility Closure Services at a Former brewery in Newark, New Jersey to remove abandoned structures and allow for redevelopment of the property into a mix of commercial and industrial operations.
Services consisted of the following:
Pre-Demolition Hazardous Material Survey (Destructive Sampling): VERTEX performed a destructive asbestos survey to supplement our initial asbestos survey and comply with the USEPA’s National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) regulations. The inspection identified visible, accessible ACM that was required to be abated prior to proposed demolition activities. The survey consisted of the following items: ·
- Observations of friable and non-friable ACM
- Physical assessment of suspected friable materials
- Bulk sampling and laboratory analysis
- Preparation of a Pre-Demolition Asbestos Survey report documenting findings, recommendations, and conclusions
Asbestos Abatement, Regulated Materials Removal, and Clearance Services: VERTEX performed turnkey asbestos abatement and regulated materials removal activities at the Site including the management of asbestos contaminated concrete debris from a partially demolished and unsafe building. VERTEX also performed the following monitoring services during the completion of abatement operations at the site:
- Visual Inspection of enclosures, barriers, surfaces, and containments to ensure complete removal of asbestos-containing materials;
- Air sampling, as required by New Jersey regulations, in the containment areas;
- Completed project closeout documentation, including air monitoring results, disposal certification, and contractor’s submittal documentation.
Sump Pit Abandonments: VERTEX provided cleaning and closure of an oil collection sump in the basement of the building. The effort included power washing residual oil, application of a sealant to prevent oil infiltration into the sump, and filling of the sump with concrete to allow for re-allocation of the floor space for commercial use. All paperwork was prepared and submitted to the state and closure was filed in accordance with all regulations.
Environmental Remediation: This task included a comprehensive inventory of the hazardous materials present in the various current and abandoned building systems including removal of lead acid batteries from an emergency power station, sampling of transformers and switch gear, and the removal of PCB contaminated oil from switchgear.
Project Closeout Services: Upon completion of the project, VERTEX prepared a comprehensive close-out report documented sampling and laboratory analytical results, records of waste disposal activities, load tickets, recycling tickets, submittals, permits, photographs, and approvals associated with implementation of the scope of work.
