Fibre and Lead in Air Cassette Analysis

The analytical methods used in our in-house laboratory for fibre in air cassette analysis are based on current methods accepted by WCB for asbestos air fibre counting. All fibre in air cassette samples are analyzed using Phase Contrast Microscopy (PCM), NIOSH Method 7400.

Astech participates in the Canadian Association for Laboratory Accreditation (CALA) Proficiency Testing (PT) Program as one method to ensure that proper quality control methods are in place.

Pre-Demolition Hazardous Material Surveys

Prior to a building/structure demolition permit application, depending on individual city/district/township, a hazardous building materials report is required. This report must detail the presence and location of asbestos-containing building materials, lead, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), mercury, stored chemicals, and silica.

Pre-Renovation Hazardous Material Surveys

Prior to a building renovation, a proper pre-project renovation survey is required to ensure that building occupants, as well as any contracted trades, are not exposed to asbestos fibres or any other hazardous materials which may be present.

Pre-Purchase Hazardous Material Surveys

Astech has developed a cost-effective survey and report format that includes detailed contractor budgets for the abatement of hazardous building materials, which would occur at some time in the future. The budget estimates for hazmat abatement provided in the report are intended to satisfy your due diligence and can be utilized to form a key dollar value component in negotiating a typical buy/sell agreement.
