Comprehensive Asbestos Survey
- Details
- Category: Asbestos and Lead-Based Paint Surveys
Veterans Affairs Medical Center (VAMC)
Big Spring, Texas
dse completed an asbestos survey tri-annual update for the VA Hospital located in Big Spring, TX. This facility was built in the late 1940’s and included approximately 10 main buildings/steam tunnels. The project included review of 7 previous surveys and abatement reports and building AutoCAD™ drawings and collection of approximately 60 confirmation or new area samples. However, the AutoCAD™ drawings had not ever been incorporated into the surveys/abatement reports. dse is incorporating the known asbestos locations in each building, floor and room into color coordinated/cross referenced maps so that building/maintenance personnel can easily ascertain if asbestos is known or suspected in building materials in an area and what type of material is suspect (flooring, wallboard, thermal systems. etc.) prior to maintenance, renovation, and/or repairs. Tables will also be summarized and linked to mapping data. These maps will also assist hospital personnel prepare bid packages for phased future abatement. dse is also providing estimates of costs for abatement and specifications for design of the abatement plan.
