The project generally consists of 4 building additions and renovation as new of all portions of the existing 250,000 square foot (approx) school. As a part of this major renovation project EnviroMed Services inspection team has completed full asbestos, lead-based paint, PCBs testing for the building. Final reports were generated and submitted to the town of Wethersfield for review.
PCBs containing building materials were discovered in the initial limited inspection in 2012 in the interior and the exterior of the school building. Additional testing was provided to determine the level of contamination in building materials. Such testing included the PCB containing materials and the adjacent surfaces. PCBs were found in caulking, paint, flooring and soil.
PCBs in air and wipe testing were completed for the interior of the building to document the level of contamination, results were found to be lower than the acceptable limits.
EnviroMed Services project design team has prepared asbestos abatement specifications, drawings and submission to the state of Connecticut Department of Construction Services Office of School Facilities (OSF) for Plan Completion Test (PCT) and approval.
