ACM’s (Asbestos Containing Materials) are most often found in older buildings, built before 1986. ACMs are a regulatory material that cannot be disposed by conventional methods. Most surfacing materials, flooring and wall materials, and insulation are presumed to contain asbestos unless installation records or testing state otherwise. Terra can employ third party consulting services to review the site and produce asbestos summary documentation. The project is then thoroughly estimated, planned and designed by Terra. The abatement process is then implemented, including enclosure, encapsulation, or removal and disposal. Third party verification and testing is performed throughout project to ensure worker safety and elimination of hazard and residue, followed by post inspection and documentation.

LBP (Lead-Based Paint) and LCP (Lead-Containing Paint) are found most often in structures built prior to 1990. Surface coatings are presumed to contain LBP unless records or testing indicate otherwise. Terra can employ third party consulting services to review the site and produce lead summary documentation. The project is then thoroughly estimated and planned. The abatement process is then implemented, including enclosure, encapsulation, or removal and disposal. Third party verification and testing is performed throughout project to ensure worker safety and elimination of hazard and residue, followed by post inspection and documentation.

 


Mold is an ongoing problem at any site where moisture and food sources are prevalent (i.e. wall paper glue, plywood – any material with organics). While there are numerous types of molds, all share a common feature: the production of spores that become airborne and can carry health-threatening mycotoxins as well as other irritating chemicals. Molds can spread in hidden areas as well as visible ones. Identified early, molds can be effectively controlled through remediation and preventive measures reducing the requirement for the replacement of building materials.

Terra is fully equipped and can provide trained personnel in order to eliminate an existing hazard and to reduce the potential for future reoccurrence. Terra employs methods that are effective in removing the hazard while maintaining a high level of safety to protect other facility personnel during removal activities. These methods include:
  • Containment to isolate infected area
  • Use of Negative Air System to prevent bio-aerosol release of toxigenic fungi
  • Use of removal methods that reduce toxic spore emissions from the source
  • ACM repair
  • Biocide application
  • Hi-velocity HEPA Vac loader operations
  • Particulate "deep clean" operations
  • Pigeon waste cleanup and deterrent services
  • Abandoned site cleanup & restoration
  • Facility closures
  • Waste Transportation & Disposal
  • 24-Hour Environmental Response
  • Confined space entry & rescue
