Project Outcomes
- NV5works with the client to complete the project on time by providing a comprehensive inspection and developing a comprehensive scope of work.
- NV5 helps to minimize delays associated with the discovery of asbestos-containing underground utilities by working closely with the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD)
NV5 has conducted comprehensive assessment for suspect asbestos-containing materials (ACM), friable and non-friable, lead-based paint, polychlorinated biphenyl (PCBs), mercury in light tubes and refrigerants. NV5 has also provided assistance to the District in managing unforeseen ACMs discovered during excavations and soil grading. NV5 has provided abatement design documents to be used by abatement contractors for bidding purposes. The abatement documents included locations, estimated quantities, removal means and methods, worker protection and disposal of all ACMs and lead-based paint. NV5 provided assistance to the District in the contractor selection and provided a recommendation of the most qualified bid.
NV5 has provided abatement monitoring during the removal of ACMs prior to demolition of the buildings and removal of underground utilities. The monitoring was conducted by a State Cal-OSHA Certified Site Surveillance Technicians and/or Certified Asbestos Consultants. The monitoring includes review of the contractor’s removal procedures to meet project abatement plan and current local, state and federal regulations, including engineering controls, worker protection, air sampling during removal activities including AHERA air clearance and review of waste disposal requirements. During demolition activities, buried utilities that were identified to contain asbestos were discovered. NV5 has interacted with the District, designers, construction managers, general contractors, remediation contractor and the local South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) to develop a cost-efficient process to remove these unforeseen ACMs without major delays.
