Follow on Google News | Significant Charlestown Asbestos Abatement Residential Renovation for Darrell Maclean of SMISMI, a Norwood-based environmental remediation company, won an important Charlestown renovation project, reports Darrell Maclean, President, and Charles Smith, Vice President of suburban Southern Middlesex Industries (SMI).
Atlantic Coastal and Noresco brought in SMI to specifically help with the environmental remediation of the buildings. A major part of this entailed asbestos abatement and the safe removal and disposal of the old large boilers used to create heat and hot water. With six buildings in total, each boiler room was approximately 1000 sq ft in size; the task was sizeable and required total isolation of the work areas as the buildings were occupied during the project. SMI took great care to screen off and seal each area to protect the occupants and general public from any dangerous asbestos fibers, and to minimize any noise pollution during some of the work. “One of the hardest aspects of this job was physically removing the old boilers.” Commented Darrell Maclean. He went on to say, “The asbestos abatement was straightforward enough, but the boilers were huge and had to be carefully cut out and removed so as not to allow any environmental contaminants to escape. We tried to keep the noise to a minimum, and I believe we were largely successful.” Charles Smith explained how Noresco was able to provide a high tech energy saving system at virtually no cost to the owners. “Noresco’s claim to fame is that over the last 20 years they have provided significant energy savings to thousands of customers in over 20,000 buildings by installing proven energy-efficient technologies and upgrading the energy infrastructure of the buildings. They also provide an innovative approach to finance these changes by leveraging their clients' existing operating and energy budgets to pay for their investments in energy efficiency and infrastructure, after which the lower energy costs translate into real savings. Noresco has provided its energy saving services to numerous branches of the Federal government, Universities, Schools, State and Local Government buildings, and many commercial and industrial facilities.” http://www.noresco.com/ “With SMI’s work completed, Noresco can now start the business of installing the new high efficiency boilers, adding insulation, and improving the infrastructure to lower the energy costs of the building”, said Darrell Maclean. “We are proud to be part of this project with Noresco and Atlantic Coastal, as we know we are helping the residents lower their energy costs and improve their environment. I would certainly recommend the Noresco approach to other building owners as a way to upgrade their buildings, lower their energy costs and improve their environmental footprint.” Southern Middlesex Industries is an Environmental Remediation company and a tracker of suburban economic indicators with an outstanding reputation throughout New England.
