Deptford Mall, a premier shopping destination in Southern New Jersey, engaged in various renovation projects and tenant updates between 2013 and 2019 to maintain its competitive edge and enhance the shopper experience. As with many large commercial structures built in previous decades, these activities required careful management of potential environmental hazards, including asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). IPR Associates & Environmental was entrusted to provide essential Asbestos Inspection and Third-Party Air Monitoring to ensure these projects were executed safely and in full compliance with environmental regulations.

Our certified professionals performed comprehensive asbestos surveys across numerous areas within the mall complex scheduled for upgrades or tenant changes. This involved meticulous site inspections, the collection and analysis of suspect materials, and detailed risk assessments. The findings from these inspections provided Deptford Mall’s management and construction partners with the critical information needed to plan and implement work safely, preventing hazardous exposures and ensuring adherence to all applicable laws.

Throughout any construction or abatement work, IPR Associates & Environmental delivered independent third-party air monitoring. This vital service ensured that the air quality within and around the work zones remained safe for mall patrons, employees, and construction crews. Our team implemented rigorous monitoring protocols, including baseline, work-in-progress, and clearance sampling, to verify the effectiveness of safety controls and confirm that areas were safe for public access and re-occupation.

IPR Associates & Environmental’s involvement at Deptford Mall from 2013 to 2019 was crucial for supporting the mall’s continuous improvement efforts while prioritizing safety. Our expert Asbestos Inspection and Third-Party Air Monitoring services enabled Deptford Mall to:
