• Lead-Based Paint Abatement & Oversight
Specialty Consulting, Inc. (SPC) was called to respond to an emergency at the Printer Square Condos, focusing on addressing the presence of lead-based paint. SPC confirmed the existence of lead-based paint in the building's storage closets and recommended that a comprehensive lead mitigation and abatement project design and work plan be prepared before initiating any remediation activities. The primary objective of the assessment was to locate and evaluate the condition of lead-based paint surfaces and components within the storage areas.
SPC employed XRF analysis to accurately identify lead concentrations, which detected painted surfaces exceeding the EPA and HUD's lead-based paint classification thresholds. In addition to the initial assessment, SPC implemented air monitoring protocols to ensure minimal airborne lead concentrations remained throughout the project.
The unique challenge of managing lead-based paint in an occupied residential setting required precise planning and execution. SPC's thorough approach, including detailed assessment, planning, and continuous air quality monitoring, ensured the safety of residents and compliance with regulatory standards. By addressing the lead hazard promptly and effectively, SPC facilitated a safe and successful remediation process at the Printer Square Condos.
