Environmental Remediation
Environmental Remediation services at Costello Dismantling offers a collection of services ensuring the safety of your project.
From Asbestos Abatement to PCB Remediation, Lead Paint Removal to Contaminated Soil Management, Costello's environmental remediation services remove pollution and contaminants from the air, soil, and water to safeguard your business.
Asbestos Abatement
Asbestos abatement is a specialized procedure designed to eliminate hazardous asbestos fibers from a building. Given that asbestos exposure can lead to serious health issues, it is crucial to engage a qualified team, like Costello, to ensure the safe containment and removal of asbestos from your structure and prevent the release of fibers into the air, water, and soil.
Costello is fully licensed and insured to handle the complexities of asbestos abatement. Our skilled team adheres to a four-step abatement process designed to eliminate the asbestos threat on your property.
- Inspection: Assessing the area to be abated and identifying any asbestos-containing materials (ACM).
- Containment: isolate and seal the contaminated area to prevent any fiber release during abatement.
- Abatement: Determining the most effective method for addressing ACM, either by removing the material or encapsulating it.
- Cleaning: Thorough cleaning of the area to ensure no fibers are left in area so that it is safe for demolition or reuse.
PCB Remediation & Clean-Up
Costello is experienced in several methods for PCB clean-up depending on the scope of the remediation plan, the size of the project, and the level of contamination including:
- Bulk product abatement: Removal and disposal of stable PCB containing products such as paint and caulking from otherwise clean structures.
- Scarification: Removal of contaminated substrate materials leaving a clean surface behind.
- Remediation: Bulk disposal of grossly contaminated structural debris, wastes, and soil.
Lead Paint Removal
Costello offers lead paint removal services, effectively eliminating lead-based paint from surfaces. Lead paint was commonly used until 1978, when it was banned due to its potential health risks, which include a range of health issues such as lead poisoning.
Costello's experts are adept at several removal techniques for lead paint including hand sanding, wet sanding and chemical stripping based on the job size and level of contamination. Throughout the lead paint removal process, we're focused on minimizing the amount of dust created and properly disposing of the dust and other contaminated materials.
Contaminated Soil Management
Soil management from Costello ensures that your site is free from contaminants and safe for future building and improvement. Sites that have experienced industrial spills, leaks from underground storage tanks or improper disposal of hazardous waste often require contaminated soil management in accordance with the EPA, DEM and other government regulatory agencies.
