Material Management

IEA has undertaken numerous asbestos safety projects for a variety of clients such as education, hospitals, government agencies, industrial, and commercial entities. From asbestos inspection and sampling to ongoing monitoring, our asbestos services protect your occupants from an exposure concern.

• Inspecting – inventory and sample asbestos-containing material (ACM) to determine the extent and type of asbestos present within the building
  • Assessments are completed by our EPA and state-certified asbestos inspectors
• Planning – develop an Operations and Maintenance (O&M) plan for managing identified ACM
  • The O&M plan typically includes provisions for training, notification of tenants, occupants, and employees, abatement procedures, and record-keeping.
• Project Design – determine the scope of work and develop project specifications including insurance, bonding, engineering controls, removal procedures, and disposal
• Management – coordination of pre-bid conference, review contractor submissions, references, and qualifications
  • We offer project management prior to and for the duration of the asbestos abatement project
  • Develop and submit final closeout and documentation
• Air Monitoring – onsite monitoring to include monitoring by state-certified asbestos site supervisors
  • Collection of required duration and clearance air samples
  • Conduct onsite analysis of air samples by Phase Contrast Microscopy
  • Documentation of on-site abatement activities

Our Asbestos Management Services

IEA provides comprehensive asbestos management services, including:

Asbestos Building Inspections and Hazardous Materials Surveys:  Our certified professionals conduct thorough inspections and sampling of potential asbestos-containing materials (ACM) within structures. These detailed surveys are crucial during real estate transactions, often becoming a critical component of due diligence for buyers, sellers, and lenders.  Understanding the presence, condition, and scope of ACM allows for accurate property valuation, informed negotiation, and effective liability management.

For properties targeted for demolition or major renovation, these asbestos surveys (often referred to as pre-demolition hazardous materials surveys) are frequently a regulatory requirement.** They are essential to ensure compliance with federal, state, and local regulations, protect worker safety, and prevent the release of fibers during abatement or demolition activities.

Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Plans:  Developing customized O&M plans for managing ACM in-place, ensuring long-term safety and compliance.

Asbestos Project Design and Management:  Providing expert planning and oversight for asbestos abatement projects, ensuring safe and efficient removal or encapsulation.

Air Monitoring:  Conducting comprehensive air monitoring during and after asbestos abatement projects to verify safety and clearance.

AIHA-IHLAP Accredited Laboratory Analysis:  Our in-house, accredited laboratory provides rapid and reliable PCM analysis of air samples, ensuring quality control and quick results for all our projects.
