Proper asbestos abatement requires experienced/licensed workers who are attentive to detail and a project manager that implements quality control in each phase of the designed work.

A nationwide industry leader in environmental remediation and demolition, Champion Environmental Services, Inc., is nearing the completion of a month long asbestos abatement project in Oak Park, Illinois. This project has yielded contaminated floor tile and black mastic. Additionally, over a mile and a half of pipe insulation is also being removed. Ralph Nordyke, CESI Project Manager for the Oak Park project states that when final clearances have been run, Champion can begin mobilizing appropriate equipment and manpower to begin demolition.

The demolition work will be performed in a high-density area where people, automobile traffic, and existing buildings all pose potential hazards. “This project is not just simply about knocking buildings down as it is about implementing a sound strategic approach that emphasizes safety” states Ralph Nordyke. The demolition of three commercial building will take approximately three months.

Successful Demolition Recycling

Since 1992, Champion Environmental Services, Inc., has been a demolition industry leader by employing innovative tactics to minimize the environmental impact of both large and small scale wrecking projects. The following link provides a summary explanation of one such project compiled by WasteCap Wisconsin. The six month long project yielded a 99.07% recycling rate by weight and 97.67% by volume on a 440,000 square foot building; a total of 38,782 tons of material was diverted from landfills.

The key element of a successful demolition project starts with a comprehensive client consultation. Understanding the needs, expectations, and goals, will ultimately guide the process. In collaboration, we discuss tactical options unique to the project in order to determine the most cost-effective solution. Salvage, reusable material, environmental issues, crushing aggregate on-site, and deconstruction practices are all explored.

Estimators, senior project managers, engineers, and site safety personnel come together to determine appropriate budgets and design the project. If necessary, a plan to address any environmental issues will be designed and implemented. Client proposals go through detailed analysis, discussion, and debate in an effort to provide a timely and cost-efficient approach.

Champion Environmental Services, Inc., has always demonstrated a high regard for creating a clean and safe environment for generation to come.
