A Trusted Partner for Asbestos Abatement and Disposal
At St. Patrick’s Church in Natick, Massachusetts, safety isn’t just a priority—it’s a responsibility to the entire community. When church leaders discovered asbestos-containing materials on-site, they knew expert handling was essential. That’s when they called Banner Environmental Services, a leader in asbestos abatement across New England. With decades of experience working in historic, commercial, and institutional settings, our team was well-prepared to navigate the challenges of this sensitive project.
Understanding the Scope of Asbestos Removal: What Was Found at the Church
Our team was brought in to remove approximately 3,000 square feet of transite siding (an asbestos-containing cement board) hidden beneath vinyl siding on the exterior of the building. In addition, 30 linear feet of asphaltic roofing materials, found around roof penetrations and stair supports, were identified as asbestos-containing and required specialized removal.
These materials posed a significant health risk if disturbed, making it imperative to remove them safely and in full compliance with Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (Mass DEP) and Department of Labor Standards (DLS) regulations.
Our Approach to Asbestos Abatement: Safety, Precision, and Full Compliance
Banner Environmental followed a thorough process to ensure safe and compliant removal:
- Filed a 10-day asbestos notification (ANF-001) with Mass DEP prior to beginning work.
- Set up engineering controls and protective ground cover to prevent the spread of asbestos fibers.
- Utilized wet methods to suppress airborne particles during abatement.
- Removed all materials while maintaining strict containment and air monitoring protocols.
- Coordinated third-party clearance testing with an independent hygienist to verify the area’s safety post-removal.
Disposal was handled by Banner’s licensed asbestos technicians, who properly packaged and labeled all hazardous waste before transporting it to a certified landfill, per asbestos disposal best practices.
Project Results: Clean, Compliant, and Ready for the Future
Thanks to our meticulous process, the asbestos abatement at St. Patrick’s Church was completed on time, on budget, and without incident. The church now has a clean, safe exterior that poses no threat to staff, parishioners, or future construction projects. The third-party hygienist confirmed air clearance and visually certified the site, giving the church full peace of mind.
