Vista
Environmental Consulting completed a comprehensive
hazardous
materials survey, cost estimate, and hazardous materials design for the Industrial Arts Building undergoing renovation. The survey included a detailed inventory of
asbestos containing materials,
lead-based and lead containing components, PCB ballasts, universal waste, and
ozone depleting chemicals. Working with the project architect and the in-house
construction managers, the team designed hazardous materials remediation drawings
and specs that was included as part of the bidding package. Vista will be involved
in the observation of compliance abatement monitoring by the hazardous materials
remediation contractor which is scheduled for construction in early 2009.

“Selecting this hazardous materials team from a field
of 18 highly qualified teams, proved to be very
beneficial for this project. The team’s knowledge of
buildings and building systems provided a
comprehensive hazardous materials inventory and a
complete set of construction documents. The
information provided by the team allowed for a smooth
bid process and prevented change orders during the
construction phase. The team’s unique approach in
inviting the regulatory agencies to review the reports
and construction documents prior to bid, allowed for a
comfort not experienced by CSUMB in previous
projects. This open cooperative relationship between
the client, consultant, contractor and the regulatory
agency allowed the project to be completed on time
and within the budget.” Ron Deller “Selecting this hazardous materials
