New Canaan Town Hall

EnviroMed Services’ State Licensed Inspectors performed an Asbestos Inspection at the New Canaan Town Hall.  The purpose of the inspection was to confirm or negate the presence of asbestos containing building materials. Total of 350 bulk samples were collected including caulking, wallboard, sheetrock, floor tile, pipe insulation, mastic and cove base and roofing.  All samples were analyzed by EnviroMed Services’ accredited laboratory (NVLAP#200858) for asbestos content using Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM).

Also, EnviroMed’s licensed Lead Inspectors/Risk Assessors test painted surfaces for lead-based paint using an X-ray Fluorescence Analyzer (XRF).  This work was  conducted in accordance with guidelines from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s publication,

“Guidelines for the Evaluation and Control of Lead Based Paint Hazards in Housing“;  issued in 1995 and amended in October 1997, with special reference to Chapter 7, “ Lead-Based Paint Inspection”.   In accordance with the City of Danbury’s request, a survey is required for lead-based paint on any representative coated components likely to have lead-based paint, namely coated components that remain from periods prior to renovations of the buildings.

EnviroMed’s Designer Team has completed the abatement specifications and the cost estimate associated with the removal. EnviroMed assisted the Town with the pre bid walkthrough and submittal reviews. EnviroMed will be prepared to conduct the monitoring during demolition this summer.
