The MACK Group, LLC Completed Asbestos Tile and Mastic Abatement Project

PR Log (Press Release) – Nov 20, 2008 – The MACK Group, LLC, a premier asbestos abatement and flooring removal contractor, recently completed an asbestos abatement project that consisted of the removal of asbestos floor tile and mastic. The Mack Group, LLC (MACK) was selected to perform the work based upon their impeccable safety record, expertise and economical pricing.  The project was completed for a private commercial client in Northern New Jersey.

Prior to asbestos abatement activities, a 10 day notification was submitted which is a written notification of intention to perform asbestos abatement in accordance with 40 CFR 61.145 to 61.155 and N.J.A.C. 7:26-2.12(d) and (e). All utilities were also disconnected. The project conformed to all OSHA and EPA regulations pertaining to ACM and only NJ licensed asbestos abatement workers performed the asbestos removal work.  

The MACK Group, LLC (MACK) was contracted to remove and abate asbestos containing floor tile and mastic that was adhered to a concrete floor.  There were multiple layers of tile which made removal more complicated.  The estimated quantity of asbestos containing floor tile and mastic that needed to be abated and removed was over 14,000 square feet.

To remove the asbestos floor tile and mastic, MACK used a combination of proprietary flooring removal machines that they own in their fleet of asbestos abatement flooring removal equipment.   The flooring removal machines have zero emissions and fumes allowing for use in restricted ventilation areas.  These machines allowed MACK to easily remove the floor tile and mastic down to the original concrete floor surface without damaging the existing concrete.

The work was completed under negative area in full containment.  Due to the fast schedule of the project, MACK employed double shifts to complete the work in less than a week.

The transportation of the removed asbestos floor tile and mastic was in accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:26-3.5(d) and by registered New Jersey solid waste vehicles.  ACM was then properly disposed at an EPA licensed landfill.

Finally, all required OSHA air monitoring, notifications, and all required final air testing was conducted.
               
The project was completed without incident or injury.
