When necessary, IEC can provide the project design and specification generation to eliminate asbestos hazards.  In addition, IEC will provide compliance during the project to protect the building owner from occupant and employee liability issues.

Abatement Contractor Selection

IEC works extensively with asbestos abatement contractors throughout the Rocky Mountain western states.  We provide the specifications, select the contractors to bid the work, conduct the bid opening and select the best qualified contractor for the most cost-effective price.

Contract Administration

Specifications include specific contract language to enforce compliance with the many regulations affecting asbestos.  IEC writes these contracts tailored to the clients needs.

Abatement Project Management

During the course of the asbestos removal, a representative is on-site to provide compliance questions, monitor inside and outside air levels, enforce compliance and provide for the clients best interest.  Upon completion, the client is provide with required close-out documentation detailing daily activities, waste records and certification and medical records.

Air Monitoring

During abatement, air sampling is conducted to determine if any asbestos is escaping from the containment.  These samples are analyzed by an independent laboratory, and the results posted within 24 hours.  This provides the client with backup documentation should any litigation surface.

Third-party Analysis Services

All bulk and air samples are submitted to a NVLAP certified laboratory for analysis to eliminate any question of conflict of interest.

Asbestos Awareness Employee Training

Both OSHA and AHERA require maintenance and custodial/housekeeping employees to receive some degree of asbestos awareness training if the employees building contains asbestos building materials.  More information on this can be found in the Asbestos Awareness Training section of this web site.

AHERA/NESHAP/OSHA Compliance

All IEC staff members stay up-to-date on the complex and ever changing regulations affecting asbestos.  IEC believes that the regulations can be enforced without unduly causing a burden on the building owner.
