Asbestos Abatement

Asbestos containment site for removal of 100,000 sq. ft. of asbestos tile and asbestos mastic at a major retail location, 1,500 sq. ft. per night. Yankee technicians began work at 10:00 pm each evening, and completed the day’s work at 6:00 am resulting in no disruption of the store’s operations.

Yankee Fiber Control has the expertise and technology to remove asbestos from a wide range of buildings and structures while strictly observing all mandated safety guidelines. We use a variety of cost-effective, high production machinery including advanced diesel-powered HEPA-filtered vacuum systems which allow us to remove up to 18 tons of asbestos waste per hour in conjunction with other techniques that may include Ultra High Pressure (UHP) water jetting (40,000 psi), or contained specialty blasting to remove asbestos contaminated materials efficiently with minimal disruption to daily operations and without risk to human health or the environment.

In the 1960s, Ford (like many automakers of the era) used asbestos-containing materials in undercoatings, sound-deadening products, and other automotive components. These materials were prized for their heat resistance, durability, and noise-dampening properties.

The owner of this ‘60s era Mustang came to Yankee with the request to remove all asbestos containing materials, which we accomplished with our Dry Ice Blasting specialty service.
