Pre-renovation surveys are crucial for ensuring building projects proceed safely and efficiently. Before any demolition or construction work begins, environmental consultants conduct thorough surveys and testing to identify hazardous materials like asbestos, lead paint, or mold...

Before any renovation or demolition project begins, it’s important to know exactly what hazards may be hiding in your building’s materials. A pre-renovation survey—sometimes called a hazardous building materials survey—identifies potential risks so they can be managed safely and in...

An environmental testing company specializes in identifying and assessing hazards that may be present in buildings, worksites, or the surrounding environment. These services protect the health of occupants and workers while ensuring compliance with local, state, and federal...

Hazardous building materials—such as asbestos, lead, PCBs, and silica—can be hidden in insulation, flooring, paint, and other construction components. Left undisturbed, they may not pose an immediate risk, but once materials are damaged or altered, dangerous particles can become...

Airborne particulate monitoring is an important part of maintaining safe and compliant construction sites. Activities like demolition, earthmoving, and material handling can release large amounts of dust and fine particles into the air—some small enough to be inhaled deeply into the...

Noise is more than just a nuisance—it can be a regulatory concern, especially in construction, industrial, or infrastructure projects that operate near residential areas, schools, or natural habitats. Prolonged exposure to elevated noise levels can lead to hearing loss, stress, sleep...

Airborne metal monitoring is essential in construction, demolition, and renovation activities, especially when working with older buildings that may contain hazardous metals. Lead-based paint is one of the most significant concerns, as it was commonly used in homes and buildings...

Construction sites are often bustling with activity, from demolition to heavy machinery and earthmoving operations. However, the presence of airborne dust, particularly fine particulate matter such as PM10 and PM2.5, poses significant risks to both worker health and the surrounding...

In February 2024, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finalized a significant update to its National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for fine particulate matter (PM2.5), reducing the annual health-based standard from 12.0 to 9.0 micrograms per cubic meter (µg/m³)....

Before any demolition or major renovation project gets underway, one critical step often overlooked is the demolition asbestos survey. These surveys are not just a box to check—they’re a legal and safety requirement designed to protect workers, the public, and the...
