Keeping Customers and Crews Safe Through Targeted Asbestos Removal at Leominster Bank
When safety is the foundation of your business, every detail matters—especially when it comes to older building materials. That’s why a bank in Leominster, MA, brought in Banner Environmental Services to tackle a critical asbestos abatement project during the early phases of building renovations.
Whether it’s a bustling school, a government facility, or a commercial property, Banner approaches each job with precision, regulatory compliance, and an unwavering commitment to public health.
Location: Leominster, MA
In this case, the client—a commercial bank—was preparing for interior renovations that required the removal of a masonry wall and other structural components. Before any demolition could begin, asbestos-containing caulking and glazing materials needed to be identified, contained, and safely removed.
Given the public-facing nature of the property, containing airborne fibers and minimizing disruption to ongoing operations were top priorities.
Scope of Work: Systematic and Safe Asbestos Abatement
The Banner team followed a strict plan that included:
- Submission of ANF-001 asbestos notification form to the Massachusetts DEP
- Full compliance with federal, state, and local regulations
- Installation of HEPA-filtered negative air systems
- Construction of hard barrier containment zones using plywood, ISO board, and staging
- Use of three-stage decontamination units to protect workers and prevent contamination
Asbestos removal activities focused on key exterior areas of the building:
- East side:
- 200 linear feet of asbestos-containing expansion joint caulk
- 20 linear feet of asbestos caulk around a door frame
- 40 linear feet of caulk and storefront window
- South side:
- 40 linear feet of caulk and storefront window
- West side:
- 120 linear feet of caulk and 3 storefront windows
- North side:
- 40 linear feet of caulk and storefront window
- 20 linear feet of caulk and teller box
All work was conducted using wet methods and engineering controls to minimize the release of airborne fibers, ensuring the health and safety of all individuals on or near the job site.
Why It Matters: Asbestos in Commercial Buildings
Caulking and glazing around windows and joints are common culprits for asbestos in commercial properties built before the 1980s. These materials, when disturbed, can release harmful fibers into the air.
For businesses—especially those that rely on daily customer interaction—environmental safety isn’t optional. It’s essential. This project not only allowed for the bank’s interior work to continue safely, but also ensured the ongoing protection of customers, employees, and subcontractors on-site.
