 onarflex
is a product which offers one of the most effective means
possible to contain a building whose facade is about to
undergo asbestos or lead remediation, or from which hazardous
material is being removed. Using this unique product,
Pinnacle crews can thoroughly enclose a work surface,
completely preventing contaminants from reaching the surrounding
environment during an abatement project. |
| During
the renovation of a one-million-square-foot building in
lower Manhattan, Pinnacle was contracted to remove asbestos
weatherproofing from all exterior walls of the structure.
The general contractor had erected a scaffold all around
the building, and full containment of the project was
called for, because the exterior was friable. Under normal
circumstances and according to existing regulations, this
would have meant creating a plywood-based enclosure. However,
such a solution would have severely hampered the renovation
construction schedule. Pinnacle obtained a variance from
the Department of Environmental Protection to utilize
Monarflex, supplemented by additional plastic materials
instead of plywood for the containment. This innovative
approach enabled us to contain the entire exterior at
once rather than in sections. Using Monarflex, the enclosure
took far less time to construct than plywood, and enabled
renovation to continue on schedule. |
