Relevant Project Experience
BellSouth Headquarters Building Birmingham, AL. This project consisted of asbestos removal, lead based paint removal and interior demolition project involving all 30 stories of the BellSouth City Center Building one of the most prominent buildings in the Birmingham, Alabama skyline. An operational facility which scope of work entailed interior demolition and the abatement of 700,000 square feet of spray-on fireproofing and an elaborate decontamination unit on each floor giving accessibility to all work areas. A portion of the abatement project was performed utilizing a series of complex tiered scaffolding and the "dance-floor" system which enabled the work to be performed above the operational floor. The complexity of the project required that the Headquarters Building remain operational and occupied while maintaining a low profile with minimal disruption to the buildings daily operations. The 30 story building was staged in multiple phases consisting of abating (3) floors per phase, with removal of 25,800 sq. ft of spray-on fireproofing per floor. The project demanded intricate coordination with the building owner and managers, and various trades involved.
Asbestos Containing Material Abatement at Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station Colorado Springs, CO This project consisted of the removal of approximately 30,000 square feet of sprayed on asbestos containing material (ACM). Friable ACM had delaminated from the tunnel walls/roof and particulate matter/dust had settled on ducting/piping/horizontal surfaces of the facility roof and floor. The project was completed in two phases. Phase I included spill response/cleanup of the facility roof, piping, ductwork, and all horizontal surfaces. Phase II included the complete abatement of three dust barriers. In order to expedite the fieldwork, the project schedule included site work conducted six days per week, 24 hours per day in 2 shifts. An additional ACM coating was encountered during the asbestos abatement. The project, completed at one of the nation’s highest security facilities, was completed to the satisfaction of our customers.
AmSouth Sonat Building Birmingham, AL. This project involved a 30 story hi-rise in a progressive plan to abate floors as they became available.
