Changing the face of environmental consulting.
Driven by our people. Proven by your success.

Asbestos

EAC routinely provides services related to identifying Asbestos Containing Material (ACM) and managing ACM in place as part of an O & M Plan. EAC's staff (EPA Accredited Asbestos Surveyor's and Licensed Asbestos Consultants) have the knowledge, expertise, and experience required to provide a full range of asbestos services and consulting.


Asbestos services may consist of sampling suspect materials, providing laboratory analysis of materials (PLM, PCM, and Point Counting), writing Operations and Maintenance Plans (O & M) as well as compiling the final technical asbestos report. Asbestos Consulting does not end upon delivery of the final report, however. Upon the positive identification of ACM within a structure, EAC then works diligently with client to assure that a competent Asbestos Abatement Contractor is selected to remove and properly dispose of the ACM in accordance with all State and Federal Guidelines.


EAC has extensive experience in the areas of asbestos inspection, asbestos bulk surveys, asbestos air sampling, abatement specifications, asbestos project design, project management and monitoring, asbestos investigation and asbestos consultant and expert witness for our Florida clients.

Mold & Vapor Investigations

Mold is also becoming an increasing problem for buildings and structures, especially those located in the Southeast where the climate is warm and humid for a large percentage of the year. EAC provides a wide range of services to address mold issues, including:

 

  •  Visual Inspections and Assessments
  •  Air & Swab sampling as well as development of work plans
  •  Selection and oversight of mitigation and abatement contractors
  •  Post-remediation testing

 

EAC provides our findings in a comprehensive report that addresses project scope, air sampling, findings and recommendations for abatement and prevention. EAC has performed mold assessment services for residential clients, commercial businesses, governmental clients, and school systems.


Soil Vapor Intrusion is another pathway for releases of contaminants to a property. Over the past several years, vapor intrusion has gained significant attention. In addition, the American Society of Testing & Materials (ASTM) has issued a standard (Standard Practice for Assessment of Vapor Intrusion into Structure on Property Involved in Real Estate; ASTM-2600-08) which provides the guidance for performing a Vapor Intrusion Assessment. This Standard is often used in conjunction with a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment to determine if “potential vapor intrusion conditions” (pVICs) are present prior to a real estate transaction.


EAC has performed numerous vapor intrusion investigations for onsite and offsite chlorinated solvent (i.e. perc, and TCE) and petroleum (i.e. gasoline and fuel oil) contamination. These investigations involve the collection of sub-slab, soil gas, and indoor air samples in stainless steel canisters or passive monitors with the appropriate laboratory analysis.
