Image at left is the pre-abatement inspection of containment on April 11, 2002. This project involves the abatement and demolition of the furnace in rooms B57, 171 and 272.
This project will abate all asbestos-containing material and dispose of non-asbestos debris in Kenilworth B57/171/272 (old southwest boiler room) prior to repair of the deteriorated plant chimney. This furnace room was abandoned in 1983 after a gas explosion. Some abatement was performed at that time; however, significant asbestos containing material remained. Now, masonry personnel require access to sides of the chimney and its foundation for repair and tuck pointing, therefore, asbestos contamination must be removed from the area beforehand. |
