Asbestos Survey of Over 390 Buildings

In 2003, PLE was retained by a federal agency to conduct a survey for Asbestos-Containing Materials in 396 buildings in a Labrador community. Structures ranged in size from less than 100 square metres to greater than 10,000 square metres.

All facilities were surveyed to identify the location, extent and quantity of asbestos, to identify potential human health concerns and to evaluate levels of airborne asbestos. Our services included:

• document collection and review

• comprehensive surveys

• bulk and dust sampling/analysis

• an extensive QA/QC program

• air sampling and analysis

• designing and implementing a data management system

• development of an Asbestos Management Plan

Over 1,500 bulk samples were analyzed in our laboratory. Air samples were also analyzed using portable equipment.
