The hospital experienced interior damage due to record rainfall where the roof system failed. AirMD was retained to identify the damage present and to develop a remediation protocol to correct the issues. Concerns for patient care, ICU, and the operating rooms were key factors considered in the project. AirMD produced a report of findings and a remediation protocol to the hospital’s CEO, Board of Directors, and state officials.

Throughout the United States, a current asbestos survey is required by the EPA prior to the demolition or renovation of any commercial or multi-unit residential property. Before the remediation work commenced at the hospital, AirMD conducted a hazard assessment of the building by doing an asbestos survey of the building materials that would be disturbed during remediation. Asbestos was detected in the building and an abatement protocol to remove the contents from the building was initiated.

This specific project is ongoing. Once the remediation work is completed, AirMD will conduct post remediation clearance testing to ensure all issues have been properly resolved.

AirMD’s highly-qualified team of microbiologists, industrial hygienists, bacteriologists, mycologists, aerobiologists, environmental scientists and toxicologists have seen it all. No case is too straightforward or complex for our experienced team.

Ensuring compliance with all aspects of the remediation plan is necessary to make sure work procedures are conforming with national and industry standards along with federal, state or local laws where applicable. Restoration project management includes all phases of the restoration process. Whether the project is a result of natural disaster, water loss, mold event or other environmental issues, the benefits of having the right management team allows for both timely and cost effective completion of all projects.

Generally, there are multiple entities involved in a remediation project including building owners, insurance, contractors and city/state representatives.
