- Conducts assessments for the presence and abatement of hazardous building materials, including designated substances as defined by O.Reg 490/09. These assessments include initial surveys and reporting, along with consultation on containment preparation and inspection, and clearance testing for abatement sign-off.
- Evaluates fire and smoke scenes for smoke migration (smoke chasing) damages within both occupied spaces and assembly cavities. I coordinate with project stakeholders to delineate where removals/in-place cleaning is recommended to restore structures to pre-loss conditions. This includes assessments in preparation of scope and clearance in all indoor settings.
- Investigates water and mould damages via conventional moisture mapping techniques, as well as perform inspection and reporting services for fungal amplification scoping and clearance following fungal remediation.
- Assesses indoor air quality conditions in construction and occupational environments, and provide consultation services on addressing indoor settings with airborne contamination above the applicable regulated limits and industry guidelines.
- Collaborates with the existing structural team to ensure concealed damages are addressing in indoor contamination settings, while the appropriate permitting and reconstruction documentation and specifications are being prepared.
