Banner Environmental Services recently completed a specialized residential asbestos removal project in the charming town of Franklin, MA. As experts in asbestos abatement and asbestos disposal, our team was well-equipped to handle every aspect of the job, ensuring the health and safety of the homeowners and compliance with all regulatory standards.

Asbestos Abatement Project Scope and Compliance

Upon being hired for the project, we promptly submitted the ten-day asbestos notification form (ANF-001) to the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MA DEP), a regulatory requirement before commencing any asbestos-related work. This step is crucial and exemplifies our commitment to strict adherence to local, state, and federal regulations. Ensuring compliance with these stringent guidelines safeguards our clients and affirms our dedication to operating within the legal frameworks designed to protect public health.

Asbestos Removal and Disposal Process

Due to the health risks posed by asbestos fibers, asbestos removal is a detailed and methodical process. Initially, we meticulously packaged, labeled, and manifested all asbestos-containing materials to prepare them for safe transportation. This attention to detail at every step is non-negotiable; it upholds safety and ensures that all hazardous materials are handled responsibly.

To ensure maximum safety during the removal process, a negative air HEPA-filtered workspace was established. This system is designed to maintain negative air pressure within the workspace, effectively containing and filtering out asbestos fibers. We also utilized a three-stage decontamination unit. This unit provides a structured and safe exit for the workers, preventing any asbestos residue from leaving the contained area.

Our experienced team, equipped with the latest tools and techniques, oversaw the entire asbestos abatement process. Our staff’s technical expertise is matched by their commitment to maintaining the highest safety standards. Each step, from initial containment to final disposal, was executed with precision, ensuring that every aspect adhered to regulatory requirements and best practices.

Third-Party Clearance Coordination

Following the careful removal of asbestos-containing siding, we coordinated with an independent hygienist to secure third-party clearance for the project. This clearance is mandated by the Massachusetts Department of Labor Standards (MADLS) and is an essential step in the process. It involves rigorous testing to confirm that the environment is free of asbestos fibers, thereby guaranteeing the safety of the property for re-occupancy.

The third-party clearance provides an unbiased verification that our work has been conducted to the highest standards. It affirms that the asbestos abatement was successful and that no harmful fibers remain in the environment, thus protecting the health of the residents.

An Addition of Second Layer of Siding

An additional measure we took to ensure the long-term safety and appearance of the home was installing a second layer of siding post-asbestos abatement. This extra layer not only provides an added barrier of protection against any potential future exposure but also enhances the property’s aesthetic appeal. This step further underscores our commitment to providing comprehensive, safety-first solutions that address both immediate and long-term needs.

Project Success

The success of this project is measured by its outcomes — the safe and compliant disposal of asbestos waste, clearance for re-occupancy, and the client’s satisfaction with our services. Our meticulous approach, combined with our adherence to regulatory standards, ensured the project was completed without incident, reaffirming the reliability of Banner Environmental Services.
