When renovating or demolishing older properties, or redeveloping brownfield sites, not only should the actual risk of harm to site workers be considered, but also how the perceived risk could impact project development plans and site values. Stakeholders need to take the necessary steps to address asbestos, hazardous building materials and air pollutants, must have action plans, intervention tools and procedures to expose past, present and future environmental issues and health hazards.
WSP’s local, experienced team of professionals (engineers, chemists, industrial hygienists, qualified asbestos experts, hazmat specialists, and technicians), can evaluate and control chemical, physical and biological hazards, as well as potential indoor air quality (IAQ) problems.
We leverage our extensive inspection and abatement oversight experience to identify the presence, condition and quantities of hazardous materials in the air, water and soil, and to develop cost-effective abatement plans to meet client needs.
