*There was approximately 2,000 square feet of mag block type insulation
lying on the ground of the east crawlspace. It appears this material was removed by
copper scavengers.
**The boiler room has scattered asbestos insulation on the floor of
about 3,000 square feet. Several of the floors were observed to have asbestos pipe
insulation lying on the suspended ceilings and in the pipe chases.
The cost to remove individual items is as follows, these costs do not
include IEC’s costs for management of the project. These estimates are
based on renovation:
| Material |
Abatement Cost |
Duration |
| Mudded fittings |
$30,000 |
25 days |
| Piping TSI |
$40,000 |
30 days |
| Surfacing TSI |
$16,000 |
5 days |
| 2x4 suspended ceiling tiles |
$11,400 |
7 days |
| Gaskets |
$1,500 |
3 days |
| Debris on boiler room floor |
$14,000 |
3 days |
| Rolled vinyl flooring |
$3,500 |
7 day |
| 9" floor tile and mastic |
$30,000 |
30 days |
| Asphaltic sealer |
$1,500 |
3 days |
| Ducting insulation cover |
$1,000 |
3 days |
| Roofing |
Not required |
|
| Transite panels |
Not required |
|
Roofing and transite panels should be managed in place.
Removal of all friable material throughout the building is estimated at $200,000 and
would require a 6 man crew about 45 days to complete. Areas of the 2nd floor and all of
the 3rd and 4th floors would require the lath and plaster ceiling to be removed to
determine the exact locations of the insulated steam lines running to the upper floors
radiators. Almost all of the pipe chases in the walls contain ACM TSI on the supply and
return lines, though several chases on the 1st and 2nd floor were observed to have been
abated. Soil in the east crawlspace would need to be removed to a depth of four inches due
to the extent of the contamination.

The EPA defines LBP as any coating equal to or greater than 5,000 ug/g /g or 1 mg/cm², OSHA defines LBP to be any paint containing lead. The renovation
contractor must be made aware of any high lead content of the paint on this structure and
take appropriate employee exposure actions. During demolition the employees and area
should be monitored to provide a Negative Exposure Assessment (NEA). Waste disposal of any
of these items will require sampling of the debris to determine if the lead from the paint
will leach into the soil at the landfill (TCLP).
Salt Lake County Health Department Demolition Items:
| Mercury Thermostats and switches |
Mercury Fluorescent
Tubes |
PCB Ballasts or
Transformers |
CFCs in refrigerant
units |
Chemicals and
cleaners |
| 15 |
14,000 linear feet |
~370 units |
6 refrigerators 5
large AC units
53 window AC units |
~ 500 gallons |
It is estimated to cost $15,000 and five workers about one week to remove and dispose
of these items.
