• Isolated, sampled and disposed of pockets of lead based paint
• PCB impacted paint removed from porous block walls and concrete slabs with coldwater high-pressure unit
• PCB impacted paint removed from nonporous surfaces with media blasting
• Re-painted the 40,000 sf facility
• Value engineering allowed for all waste to be classified as non-hazardous

VIASANT crews were contracted to perform PCB decontamination and restoration/painting activities at this former apparatus repair facility. PCB impacted paint was removed from porous and nonporous interior surfaces including identified ceilings, walls, floors and superstructures.

During decontamination, isolated pockets of lead based paint were identified located primarily in the superstructure. Product was isolated, sampled and disposed of through bulk remediation.

Utilizing a coldwater high-pressure unit, PCB impacted surface paint was removed from porous block walls and concrete slabs. All rinseate and debris were containerized for off-site disposal, and on-site treatment of rinse water. Utilizing abrasive media blasting and an air mover and filter “sock”, VIASANT crews removed impacted paint from all nonporous surfaces. All media and paint chips were collected and placed into roll-off waste containers.

The final phase of this project incorporated re-painting the 40,000 sf facility which included superstructure, metal corrugated roof, block and corrugated metal walls.
