TESTING LABORATORY SERVICES PAGE 1
RELATED DOCUMENTS:
Drawings and general provisions of Contract, including General and Supplementary Conditions,
apply to the Work of this section.
DESCRIPTION OF THE WORK:
This section describes air monitoring and inspection services to be carried out by the
CONSULTANT to verify that the Work performed is in compliance and that the building areas
beyond the Work Area and the outside environment remain uncontaminated. This section also sets
forth airborne fiber levels both inside and outside the Work Area as action levels, and describes the
action required by the CONTRACTOR if an action level is met or exceeded.
AIR MONITORING:
The CONSULTANT will be conducting air monitoring throughout the course of the project.
Base Line Fiber Counts: The CONSULTANT will monitor airborne fiber counts prior to start of
Work. The purpose of this air monitoring will be to establish existing airborne fiber counts prior to
beginning abatement operations.
Work Area Isolation: The CONSULTANT will monitor airborne fiber counts outside the Work Area.
The purpose of this air monitoring will be to detect faults in the Work Area isolation including, but not
limited to, contamination of the building outside of the Work Area with airborne asbestos fibers,
failure of filtration or rupture in the ventilation system, or contamination of the exterior of the building
with airborne asbestos fibers.
Should any of the above occur, the CONTRACTOR shall immediately cease asbestos abatement
activities until the fault is corrected. Work shall not recommence until authorized by the
CONSULTANT.
Work Area Airborne Fiber Count: The CONSULTANT will monitor airborne fiber counts in the
Work Area.
The purpose of this air monitoring will be to detect airborne fiber counts which may significantly
challenge the integrity of the Work Area isolation procedures to protect the balance of the building or
outside of the building from contamination by airborne fibers.
AIR MONITORING AND INSPECTION SECTION 01400
TESTING LABORATORY SERVICES PAGE 2
Final Clearance: The CONSULTANT will conduct Final Clearance air sampling per Section
01420.
/_1I:7Y0Vk!1:111111aI 1AZT9100HII&
Inside Work Area: Maintain an average airborne count in the Work Area of less than 0.1 fibers
per cubic centimeter. If the fiber counts rise above this figure for any sample taken, revise work
procedures to lower fiber counts. If the Time Weighted Average (TWA) fiber count for any Work
shift or eight (8) hour period exceeds 0.1 fibers per cubic centimeter, stop Work and leave
ventilation system in operation. Do not recommence Work until authorized in writing by the
CONSULTANT.
Outside Work Area: Maintain an average airborne count outside the Work Area of less than or
equal to Base Line as established below.
If any air sample taken outside the Work Area exceeds the Base Line, immediately and
automatically stop Work until the source of the high fiber readings can be determined by the
CONSULTANT. If no outside non -asbestos source can be located by the CONSULTANT and if this
air sample was taken inside the building and outside of Critical Barriers around the Work Area,
immediately erect new Critical Barriers as set forth in Section 01500 to isolate the affected area from
the balance of the building or as instructed by the CONSULTANT.
Erect Critical Barriers at the next existing structural isolation of the involved space (e.g. wall,
ceiling, floor).
Decontaminate the affected area in accordance with Section 01510.
Respiratory protection as set forth in Section 01710 shall be worn in affected area until area
is cleared for re -occupancy in accordance with Section 01410.
Leave Critical Barriers in place until completion of Work and insure that the operation of the
reduced air pressure system in the Work Area results in a flow of air from the balance of the
building into the affected area.
If the exit from the clean room of the personnel decontamination unit enters the affected
area, establish a new decontamination facility.
After visual inspection in the extended Work Area, remove Critical Barriers separating the
Work Area from the affected area. Final Clearance air samples will be taken within the
entire area as set forth in Section 01410.

Provide a fully operational ventilation system within the work area maintaining continuously a
pressure differential across work area containment of 0.02 inches of HZO.
AUSTIN ENVIRONMENTAL, INC.
VENTILATION SYSTEM SECTION 01530
PAGE 3
PREPARATION OF THE WORK AREA:
Determining the Ventilation Requirements: Provide a sufficient number of fully operational
ventilation systems to provide the equivalent of a minimum of one air change every 12 minutes, within
the contained work area. Determine the volume in cubic feet of the work area by multiplying the floor
area by ceiling (or roof) height as applicable.
Determine total ventilation requirement in cubic feet per minute (cfm) for the work area by dividing
this volume by the air change.
Ventilation Requirement (CFM) = Volume of work area (cu. ft.)
12 (min)
Determine Number of Units: Determine number of units needed to achieve 12 minute change rate
by dividing the ventilation requirement (CFM) above by capacity of exhaust unit(s) used. Capacity of
a unit for purposes of this section is the capacity in cubic feet per minute with fully loaded filters
(pressure differential which caused loaded filter warning lights to come on) in the machines labeled
operating characteristics.
Number of Units = Ventilation Requirement (CFM)
Capacity of Unit with Loaded Filters (CFM)
Location of Exhaust Units: Locate exhaust unit(s) so that makeup air enters work area primarily
through decontamination facilities and traverses work area as much as possible. This may be
accomplished by positioning the exhaust unit(s) at a maximum distance from the worker access
opening or other makeup air sources.
Placement: Place end of unit or its exhaust duct through an opening in the plastic barrier or wall
covering. Thoroughly seal the plastic around the unit.
Venting: Vent to outside of building, unless authorized in writing by the CONSULTANT. This
may involve the use of additional lengths of flexible or rigid duct connected to the air outlet and routed
to the nearest outside opening. At the completion of the Work, reinstall window panes which have to
be removed temporarily.
Supplemental Makeup Air Inlets: Provide where required for proper air flow through the work
space in location approved by the CONSULTANT by making opening in the plastic sheeting that
allows air from outside the building into the work area. Locate auxiliary makeup air inlets as far as
possible from the exhaust unit(s) (e.g., on an opposite wall), off the floor (preferably near the ceiling),
and away from barriers that separate the work area from occupied clean areas. Cover with flaps to
reseal automatically if the ventilation system should shut down for any reason. Spray flap and around
opening with spray adhesive so that flap seals if it closes.
AUSTIN ENVIRONMENTAL, INC.
VENTILATION SYSTEM SECTION 01530
PAGE 4
If makeup air is coming from a contaminated or potentially contaminated source, then it should pass
through a HEPA filter before entering work area. The arrangement must be approved in advance by
the CONSULTANT. Provide supply air fans to overcome the resistance of the HEPA filter. Use of a
ventilation unit may be a practical means of accomplishing this.
Caution must be used to insure that work area remains under reduced air pressure.
USE OF THE VENTILATION UNITS:
General: Each unit shall be serviced by a dedicated minimum 115V-20A circuit with overload
device tied into an existing building electrical panel which has sufficient spare capacity to
accommodate the load of ventilation units connected. Dedication of an existing circuit may be
accomplished by shutting down existing loads on the circuit. This arrangement must by approved in
advance by the CONSULTANT.
Testing the System: Test ventilation system before any asbestos -containing material is wetted or
removed. After the work area has been prepared, the decontamination facility set up, and the
exhaust unit(s) installed, start the unit(s) (one at a time). Demonstrate operation of ventilation system
to CONSULTANT.
Demonstration: Demonstration of the operation of the ventilation system to the CONSULTANT
shall include, but not be limited to, the following:
Plastic barriers, sheeting move lightly in toward work area.

TYPE AC@ SUPPLIED -AIR RESPIRATORS:
Type C Asupplied air@ respirators can present a hazard for workers on scaffolding due to the difficulty
of handling the attached hoses. If a supplied air system is improperly set up or it is not continuously
monitored, it can present a very real life safety hazard for workers.
Air Systems Monitor: Continuously monitor the air system operation including compressor operation,
filter system operation, backup air capacity and all warning and monitoring devices at all times that
system is in operation.
AIR PURIFYING RESPIRATORS:
Negative Pressure - Half or Full Face Mask: Supply sufficient qua ntityof respirator filters approved
for asbestos, so that workers can change filters during the work day. Require that respirators be wet -
rinsed, and filters discarded, each time a worker leave the Work Area. Require that new filters be
installed each time a worker re-enters the Work Area. Store respirators and filters at the job site in
the Changing Room in individual, clean plastic bags and protect totally from exposure to asbestos
prior to their use.
Powered Air Purifying - Half or Full Face Mask: Supply a sufficient quantity of high efficiency
respirator filters approved for asbestos so that workers can change filters at any time that flow
through the face -piece decreases to the level at which the manufacturer recommends filter
replacement. Require that, regardless of filter flow, filter cartridges be replaced after 40 hours of use.
Require that HEPA elements in filter cartridges be protected from wetting during showering. Require
entire exterior housing of respirator including blower unit, filter cartridges, hoses, battery pack, face
mask, belt, and cords to be washed each time a worker leaves the Work Area. Caution should be
used to avoid shorting battery pack during washing. Provide an extra battery pack for each respirator
so that one can be charging while one is in use.
