Environmental Contracting FAQs

Asbestos abatement is the controlled removal, encapsulation, enclosure, or management of asbestos-containing materials using regulated work practices, containment, PPE, HEPA filtration, waste handling, and documentation.

Black mastic is an adhesive often found under older floor tile. Some mastics contain asbestos and require proper testing and abatement before renovation or demolition.

Yes, when properly planned. Occupied-building work may require phasing, critical barriers, negative air, signage, access control, work-hour coordination, HEPA cleaning, and consultant clearance.

Dust containment is the use of barriers, poly, negative air, HEPA filtration, floor protection, and work-zone controls to prevent dust from spreading during renovation, demolition, grinding, or abatement.

A negative air machine helps pull air through filtration and maintain air movement into the containment rather than out into occupied spaces.

It depends on the scope, location, regulations, consultant requirements, and owner needs. Work can often be phased by floor, wing, or room group with proper containment and clearances.

Campus work is often phased around academic calendars, occupied buildings, residence halls, tunnels, maintenance windows, and coordination with facilities teams and consultants.

Viking has documented experience with projects requiring site access, badging, safety documentation, consultant coordination, and closeout reporting. Public project naming should be approved before publication.

If project testing is handled by a qualified third-party consultant, Viking coordinates remediation work around the findings and required controls without overstating independent testing services.

Lead abatement may be required when lead-containing coatings or materials are disturbed during renovation, demolition, or repair in regulated settings.

The documented scope included asbestos abatement, floor and mastic removal, negative air containment, critical barriers, and occupied-building protection in university residence halls.

Residence-hall work is coordinated through phasing, controlled access, critical barriers, negative air, HEPA cleaning, and communication with campus facilities and project teams.

The documented materials included flooring, tile and mastic, and carpet areas requiring separation from non-asbestos-containing materials.

The project record includes a closeout report with project documentation, schedule information, and the controls used to support turnover and follow-on work.

The documented scope included thermal system insulation removal, glove-bag removal, regulated waste handling, manifests, and closeout documentation.

Glove-bag methods can isolate a focused section of pipe insulation and help control fiber release when work is performed under the approved project procedures.

Tunnel work requires controlled access, task-specific containment, respiratory and personal protection, careful waste movement, and coordination around university utility operations.

Closeout documentation can include waste manifests, work records, project photographs, clearance information, and records needed by the owner and consultant.

The documented scope included VAT and mastic asbestos abatement, with RACM surface area identified in the project record.

Large-scale work may require full containment, critical barriers, negative air, leak-tight wrapping, wet methods, and controlled waste handling.

Wet methods help reduce airborne dust and fiber release during regulated removal when they are appropriate for the material and approved work plan.

Client-identifying details should be published only after Viking confirms public-use approval. A facility type and city can be used when confidentiality limits the project description.

The documented materials included VCT flooring and black mastic in a semiconductor and industrial electrical-room environment.

The work requires careful isolation of the work zone, coordination with facility and electrical teams, negative air, HEPA filtration, wet methods, and controls that protect active equipment.

Black mastic may contain asbestos and can be difficult to remove cleanly. Testing, approved methods, dust control, and clearance support are important before follow-on work.

Client-identifying details should be published only after Viking confirms public-use approval. The project can be described by facility type, city, scope, and controls when confidentiality applies.

The documented scope included asbestos and lead abatement, roof material removal, temporary shoring, basement containment, HVAC and ductwork removal, lead stabilization, cleaning, and encapsulation.

Roof abatement requires controlled access, protection of adjacent areas, regulated removal and disposal, coordination with the replacement roof work, and project-specific safety controls.

The documented approach included a negative-pressure enclosure, removal of abandoned ductwork and HVAC materials, cleaning, treatment, and encapsulation of affected basement surfaces.

The project demonstrates coordination with ADEQ Brownfields requirements, regulated building-material cleanup, temporary shoring, lead stabilization, and closeout documentation at a historic property.

The documented scope included TSI glove-bag removal, mirror mastic removal, critical barriers, HEPA vacuuming, wet methods, clearance support, and secure-site coordination.

Crews may need badging, access coordination, site-specific safety documentation, controlled material movement, consultant coordination, and detailed closeout reporting.

The work uses task-specific containment, critical barriers, HEPA controls, wet methods, and regulated waste procedures appropriate to each material and the facility requirements.

Project naming and client-identifying details should be approved before publication. A facility type, general service area, and documented controls can be used when necessary.

The closeout report documents spray-on popcorn ceiling removal, Class I containment, negative pressure, three-stage decontamination, HEPA filtration, wet methods, encapsulation, final cleaning, and clearance sampling support.

The logs document multiple layers of polyethylene, critical barriers, Ram Board floor protection, three-stage decontamination, negative air machines, and controlled staging of equipment outside containment. The initial work sequence covered 10 rooms before additional room groups were prepared.

Crews worked under negative pressure using HEPA filtration, wet methods, pre-soaking, and manual hand tools such as putty knives and scrapers. Detail work included addressing edges and corners and washing ceilings before encapsulation or painting.

Waste was promptly collected, placed in leak-tight six-mil containers, wet-sealed and labeled, bagged out of containment, and placed in an ACM dumpster lined with six-mil reinforced polyethylene.

The documented materials included CRT glass, contaminated cardboard, porous debris, loose glass, warehouse debris, and lead-related waste.

The work required warehouse protection, controlled loading areas, careful separation of work and storage zones, and procedures that reduced the risk to inventory and ongoing operations.

CRT glass requires careful packaging, labeling, controlled movement, and disposal coordination through approved transportation and landfill channels.

Project records may include waste profiles, DOT labeling information, transportation records, disposal documentation, photographs, and closeout material for the owner or agency.

The work occurred around protected auditorium seating, public-facing finishes, ramps, hallways, elevators, and landings, so dust and debris controls had to support an active performing arts facility.

Viking used poly protection, Ram Board, rolling containments, floor and aisle protection, controlled access routes, and phased remobilization to protect the facility during resurfacing work.

The documented scope included custom dust barriers, temporary enclosures, negative air machines, protected walkways, and controls designed around the auditorium geometry.

Containment, cleanup, waste handling, and closeout were coordinated so adjacent areas remained protected and the next phase of facility work could proceed with greater confidence.
