Transforming Brockton Hospital Post Electrical Fire: Professional Asbestos Abatement and Comprehensive Commercial Cleaning

In February 2023, Brockton Hospital experienced a devastating 10-alarm electrical fire, which caused severe damage and a temporary closure. As part of the $90 million recovery project, Banner Environmental Services was entrusted with critical tasks, including asbestos abatement, removal, disposal, and thorough commercial cleaning in Brockton, MA. This comprehensive effort aimed to restore the hospital’s functionality and enhance its resilience and sustainability.

Asbestos Abatement and Removal at Brockton Hospital

The asbestos abatement process at Brockton Hospital was both extensive and meticulous. Our team used specialized tools and state-of-the-art techniques to ensure safety and compliance with federal and state regulations.

Containment Setup for Asbestos Abatement

To begin our asbestos abatement services safely and precisely, we utilized state-of-the-art equipment to build containment areas. Proper ventilation was maintained to ensure abatement work was carried out within a controlled environment while maintaining negative pressure within the containment zone. This setup effectively protected the rest of the hospital from asbestos exposure.

Asbestos Removal

Banner Environmental removed asbestos from various hospital structures, including pipes and flooring. Following stringent safety protocols, our team and stinging asbestos removal processes ensured that all federal and state regulations were strictly followed.

Safe Asbestos Disposal Practices

Safety and environmental protections were at the forefront of Banner’s asbestos disposal methods. The asbestos waste was carefully placed in double-bagged, sealed, leak-tight containers with proper asbestos warning labels. The waste was then transported to certified landfills equipped to handle hazardous materials, thus preventing any environmental hazards.

Post Construction in Brockton with Commercial Cleaning

Once the HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and construction crews had completed their tasks, Banner began thorough site preparation for post-construction and general cleaning:

Debris Removal and Cleanup

Heavy equipment, materials, and furniture were carefully removed, and a meticulous debris cleanup was conducted to prepare the site for deeper sanitation.

Custom Cleaning Protocol

Banner Environmental developed a custom cleaning protocol that exceeded CDC, AHA, and hospital guidelines, ensuring the highest level of sanitation. Our strict ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) swab standards were set even lower than industry guidelines to ensure superior cleanliness.

Certified Cleaning

Third-party evaluations were conducted to further validate our commercial cleaning and terminal cleaning efforts, certifying that all protocol standards were met and exceeded. We achieved a remarkable 99.98% pass rate.

Project Results and Successes

Despite challenges such as supply chain delays and weather-related disruptions, Banner Environmental’s team displayed exceptional commitment. Flexible scheduling, including off-hours, weekends, and holidays, ensured the project stayed on time and within budget. The hospital reopened partially in mid-2024, initially prioritizing outpatient and urgent care services. Full-service restoration is anticipated as construction concludes.
