Asbestos / Lead / Regulated Materials Survey
$5M
Vertex was contracted to perform a comprehensive asbestos survey of the occupied Healey Library located in Boston, MA. Vertex deployed an
inspection team to inspect, quantify, assess and develop a detailed asbestos regulated materials survey report with a comprehensive operations and maintenance program to
address the confirmed materials. Hundreds of suspect samples were collected and analyzed to
assure that there would be no possible release of hazardous materials during the project. The
report served as an instrument for the various trades involved with the project to avert the potential
for damaging the materials during system installation. Detailed and color-coded floor plans were
integrated into the report for immediate identification of "hot" areas to be avoided as well as the
implementation of a site specific Operations & Maintenance Program for on-site personnel to refer
to if any of the identified material was to be affected.
