Before initiating any industrial demolition, facility owners and contractors must assess for legacy hazardous materials—including asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) and lead-based paint.
What Projects Require Abatement?
- Demolition of pre-1980 industrial or commercial buildings.
- Partial renovation or interior gutting of older facilities.
- Mechanical or HVAC upgrades involving insulated piping.
- Ceiling, flooring, and roofing replacement in historic structures.
Steps in a Compliant Abatement Project
- Hazardous materials survey by licensed inspectors.
- Notification to regulatory bodies (EPA/state/local).
- Development of a site-specific abatement work plan.
- Containment setup and air monitoring protocols.
- Removal by trained and licensed personnel.
- Proper disposal to approved hazardous waste facilities.
Compliance Standards
- EPA NESHAP regulations for demolition and renovation.
- OSHA requirements for worker protection and PPE.
- HUD lead-based paint standards (for housing projects).
- State licensing and notification rules specific to abatement.
