Champion Environmental Services, Inc., follows all applicable Illinois EPA rules for asbestos abatement delegated through the authority of the USEPA which enforces the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP). NESHAP regulates asbestos during demolition, renovation, and disposal.

The ACM removal was performed in preparation for demolition; the cleared land will be used to build a new Ottawa health care facility.

Michael Reese Hospital Demolition and Asbestos Abatement

Champion Environmental Services, Inc. has been chosen as one of the qualifying contractors to bid on the Michael Reese Hospital demolition and asbestos abatement project that is being facilitated by the Public Building Commission of Chicago.

Michael Reese Hospital is comprised of 28 structures spanning over 1.6 million square feet with buildings dating back to 1907. This vast-complicated project will involve demolition and asbestos abatement of most of the buildings, associated parking structures and tunnels.

Given the scale of the project, the PBC was responsible for vetting over 26 companies through an intensive RFQ process. Due to the complexity reflected in the scope of work, the PBC split the project into three distinct bid packages; of the few qualified firms to provide proposals, Champion Environmental Services, Inc., was one of the companies found competent enough to bid all three packages. [Only two qualified contractors will be allowed to bid the entire project]

Champion Environmental Services, Inc., is proud to be an integral facet in Chicago’s quest for the 2016 Olympics. We will certainly keep everyone up to date as this historic Chicago project evolves.
