This building has been a staple in one city's downtown skyline for years. In this job, we transformed the building into a safer, modern and more efficient work space.

Difficult Work
The difficulty with this project was that the building needed to stay open and fully functioning throughout the contract, each stage of the contract had to be completed within 90 days and our part of the contract could only take 30 days to complete. 

Done Right
Our team has many years of experience of removing asbestos in buildings that remain occupied while we work. Consequently we executed a trusted methodology by implementing a program of containment, which included the sealing of ducts, creating separate access, and areas and times for safe disposal in a busy downtown areas, educating building occupants and working closely with associated trades. All the time producing, and acting, and being seen to be acting in a safe, compliant manner and producing exemplary work.
Our entire team understands the consequences of not doing this entirely correctly and the possible consequences to the health of occupants, the efficiency of building operations, the possible negative effect to public relations  and the possible cost of damage to equipment and records. .

The main focus of this project was to remove asbestos from a 9-story dormitory building at a major public university before it could be imploded and demolished. It is vital to the health and safety of everyone in the area to properly remove all asbestos from a structure before you disturb it for remodeling, construction, or demolition (implosion) purposes.

Difficult Work
This building was imploded by the University shortly after the abatement project was finished. Each 10,000 square foot floor had asbestos containing textured ceiling material, pipe insulation, drywall materials, HVAC equipment insulation, floor tile and floor tile mastic had to be abated plus mechanical insulation in each of the two basement areas.

Done Right
GCS was chosen by the design and oversight consultant based upon our reputation for quality work, the experience of our project managers, the need for an expedited abatement project and our prior work experience with the University.
