Asbestos is often found within industrial and commercial buildings. The physical properties of asbestos make it an ideal material for a number of uses including: Thermal Insulation Reinforcing, Cement Sound Proofing, Cloth & Rope, Gasket Materials and Fire Proof Boarding. Typical items containing asbestos fibers are: boiler insulation and gaskets, floor tiles and mastics, electric switches & cables, pipe insulation, tank/vessels, insulation duct and breeching insulation, wall boards, ceiling tiles, glazing/sash and caulk, underground piping, roofing felts & tar coatings, transite roofing and siding & piping.
Note: Inhalation of fibers from asbestos products is known to be a serious hazard to health. Inappropriate handling may constitute a major hazard to health and the environment. The handling and ultimate disposal of asbestos is carefully controlled to ensure protection of health and the environment. The complete process is fully documented to provide accurate records of removal and disposal.
It is a legal requirement that an asbestos survey be prepared in accordance with NYS Industrial Code Rule 56 for all buildings prior to demolition. The Leipold Group employs experienced, trained surveyors to undertake this work and to provide documented and referenced reports.
