Abatement
Asbestos Abatement, Insulation Removal, and Encapsulation Services
We provide personnel licensed in both Pennsylvania and the City of Philadelphia to conduct asbestos abatement in accordance with the stringent federal, state, and local regulations. We navigate the overlapping regulations to provide safe and effective site remediation. Asbestos abatement performed by Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry (PaDLI) and City of Philadelphia Licensed Asbestos Removal Personnel.
Insulation: HVAC and Thermal Systems including heating systems and piping.
Soundproofing: auditoriums, common hallways
Fireproofing: on structural beams and mechanical spaces
Floor tile and ACM mastic removal
Air Sampling
Abatement Air Monitoring and Clearance Testing
Need air monitoring during abatement or final clearance air testing? EMG provides an on-site technician to over see and document pertinent events and contractor performance. Our technicians and project managers communicate with clients in the manner and frequency a client prefers keeping all parties abreast of project status. American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) and National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) certified-laboratory results.
*We only use laboratories certified by the AIHA and NVLAP for asbestos analysis. Analytical results are typically available within 24 hours of collection, though faster results may be available.
Boilers
Removal, Demolition, and HVAC Asbestos Blanket Abatement
Many older boilers and furnaces are insulated with an asbestos “blanket.” When these systems require maintenance, upgrade or replacement, the asbestos creates concern. We have extensive experience in the remediation, draining, demolition, removal and recycling of boilers and furnaces. From complete demolition and disposal to warranty-return removals, EMG streamlines the transition.
Inspections and Surveys
For building owners who desire a determination of the location, quantity and condition of their asbestos-containing materials (ACM), EMG can perform a comprehensive asbestos survey.
EMG provides:
On-site, certified asbestos survey technician
Stringent environmental sampling strategy and protocols
Representative bulk sample collection of the suspect ACM
Individually sealed, uncompromised samples for third-party lab analysis.
Choice of polarized light microscopy analysis (PLM), phase contract microscopy (PCM), or transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis
Certified Laboratory Results
Documentation of asbestos-containing materials’ location, quantity, appearance, and condition
Comprehensive report of data collected and recommended scope of work for remediation
*We only use laboratories certified by the AIHA and NVLAP for asbestos analysis. Analytical results are typically available within 24 hours of collection, though faster results may be available.
Sampling and Analysis
Asbestos Containing Materials (ACM)
When suspect asbestos-containing materials are encountered, we can provide sampling and polarized light microscopy analysis of the suspect material in an accredited laboratory. EMG is capable of a wide range of analytical services for each of its projects and provides timely analytical services. Microscopic laboratory analysis options of air samples include phase contract microscopy (PCM) in accordance with NIOSH Method 7400, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis of air samples for a more definitive quantification of the airborne asbestos concentration. EMG only uses laboratories certified by the AIHA and NVLAP for asbestos analysis. Analytical results are typically available within 24 hours of collection, though faster results may be available.
Suspect Materials
Not sure if it’s asbestos? EMG provides sampling services and polarized light microscopy analysis of suspect material. Microscopic laboratory analysis options of air samples include phase contract microscopy (PCM) in accordance with NIOSH Method 7400, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis of air samples for a more definitive quantification of the airborne asbestos concentration. EMG Remediation Services only uses laboratories certified by the AIHA and NVLAP for asbestos analysis. Analytical results are typically available within 24 hours of collection, though faster results may be available.
Re-Insulation
EMG can provide re-insulation of the asbestos-abated surfaces. The new insulation will be matched to the temperature and use of the abated materials.
