The project scope required placing the 9,000 sq ft gym under a single containment. The Simpson team responded with a creative project approach and safely completed the job according to spec.
About the Bayonet Point Middle School
Simpson Environmental was called upon to perform the complete removal and disposal of over 9,000 sq ft of mercury-containing rubber flooring for Bayonet Point Middle School in preparation for a new gym floor. To perform this work properly and protect the staff and students, the entire gym needed to be put in a negative air containment for the duration of the work.
Prepping the gym for abatement was a complicated task, and extensive efforts had to be made to ensure the abatement area could be fully enclosed in a regulatory compliant containment. Utilizing the existing gym ceiling joists and additional support piping, Simpson was able to create a ceiling of polyethylene sheeting that spanned the entire 9,000 sq ft gym.
Once the negative pressure environment was complete, specialized machinery was used to remove the mercury-containing flooring, which was packaged and prepared for compliant transport and disposal.
