Commercial Asbestos Abatement Case Study: 639 5th Ave SW, Calgary
Makki Abatement completed a complex asbestos abatement project at 639 5th Ave SW, a prominent commercial landmark in Downtown Calgary. Working on behalf of Standard Life Canada, our team delivered a comprehensive hazardous material remediation strategy to protect building occupants while maintaining the structural integrity of this active corporate environment.
Project Scope: High-Risk Asbestos Removal in a Commercial Setting
The asbestos removal Calgary market demands a deep understanding of Alberta OH&S regulations. For the 5th Ave SW project, the presence of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) required a high-level containment strategy to ensure zero cross-contamination.
- Full Asbestos Containment Setup: Engineered barriers were established to isolate the work zone from the rest of the building.
- Negative Air Pressure Systems: Advanced equipment prevented the migration of microscopic asbestos fibers into public hallways.
- HEPA Filtration & Wet Methods: Our technicians used HEPA-filtered vacuums and wet-misting techniques to suppress dust during the selective demolition and removal phase.
- Hazardous Material Disposal: All waste was double-bagged and transported according to strict environmental protocols.
Regulatory Compliance and Safety Protocols
At Makki Abatement, safety and transparency are non-negotiable. This project was executed in strict alignment with the Alberta Asbestos Abatement Manual.
1. Stakeholder Coordination
We worked alongside property managers and consultants to ensure commercial asbestos abatement protocols did not disrupt daily business operations at 639 5th Ave SW.
2. Independent Air Monitoring
Throughout the process, third-party air quality testing validated the effectiveness of our containment systems.
3. Final Clearance Testing
Before re-occupancy, a professional hazardous materials testing firm issued a final clearance certificate confirming the space was safe.
