Ambient Has a Special Focus in Commercial and Industrial Facilities

Ambient has a special focus in commercial and industrial facilities and has provided environmental services and solutions to many of the region’s most complex and high profile demolition and renovation projects. In each case, Ambient has served as the client’s environmental consultant to conduct a comprehensive hazardous materials survey for asbestos and lead-based paint, pcb’s or other materials encountered; prepare abatement specifications; assist with the abatement contractor bidding process and provide project/air monitoring and abatement oversight services. These multifaceted renovation and demolition projects are sensitive and require close coordination and effective communication with a variety of parties, including the client representatives, construction management firms, project architects, general contractors, abatement contractors and other sub consultants. In most cases, aggressive schedules must be met to accomplish project objectives. The careful execution and phasing of services to ensure building safety and maintain operations is a tenet of the Ambient team.
