ASBESTOS REMEDIATION OF AIRPORT TERMINAL
Custom designed waste packaging speeds remediation time.
BACKGROUND
The iconic airport terminal built by Pan American Airways, Worldport at JFK, had long
been a distinctive remnant of early jet travel and an emblem of PanAm, and once
considered the most glamorous American carrier. But after 53 years of service, the
terminal had become outdated and essentially doomed. The entire structure had to
remediated due to high concentrations of asbestos and lead paint. The environmental
contractor hired to complete the work needed to do a thorough job, in a timely
manner, and at the lowest possible cost.
OUTCOME
After being contacted by the contractor, our engineers quickly designed a doublespouted TransPac, with an outer and inner liner to form-fit rolloff containers that were
onsite to remove the waste from the site. The bags were designed to contain any
airborne particles, limiting worker exposure. They were also manufactured with 2
spouts from fairly inexpensive materials, thus doubling output capacity while reducing
expenses.
HIGHLIGHTS
- Job was completed in record time.
- No airborne particles exposure was recorded.
- Custom TransPacs were designed and manufactured to meet specific demands.
- Reduced costs and made hauling waste offsite very efficient.
CUSTOMER FEEDBACK
“Because of the size of this project, it was important to come in under budget and
finish on time. It put us at great ease having an expert vendor partner with years of
experience in this type of remediation on our side.”
