During 2013-2014, a prominent Hyatt hotel property in New York undertook a significant renovation project aimed at enhancing guest experiences and upgrading facilities. Operating within a busy, 24/7 hotel environment presents unique challenges, especially when dealing with older structures where Asbestos-Containing Materials (ACMs) might be present. IPR Associates & Environmental was contracted to deliver comprehensive Asbestos Inspection and independent Third-Party Air Monitoring services, ensuring the project prioritized the health and safety of guests, staff, and construction crews while maintaining strict regulatory compliance. 

Our role began with detailed asbestos surveys conducted in the phases and zones designated for renovation, which often included guest rooms, public areas, and back-of-house service spaces. Our certified professionals meticulously inspected these areas, collected samples for analysis, and provided detailed hazard assessments. This foundational work was crucial for the hotel management and renovation teams to plan and execute their projects safely, incorporating proper handling or abatement strategies for any identified ACMs.

Throughout the renovation and any related abatement activities, IPR Associates & Environmental provided crucial third-party air monitoring. This independent oversight ensured that work zones were effectively contained and that the air quality in both renovation areas and adjacent occupied spaces remained safe at all times. We conducted continuous monitoring during work and performed final clearance tests, offering verifiable assurance that the environment was safe for guests and staff, thereby protecting the hotel’s operations and reputation.

IPR Associates & Environmental’s work at this major Hyatt hotel during 2013-2014 was key to the successful and safe completion of its renovation goals. Our Asbestos Inspection and Third-Party Air Monitoring services provided critical support, enabling the hotel to:

• Protect Guest and Staff Health: Ensuring a safe environment within an active, high-occupancy hotel during construction.
• Facilitate Major Upgrades: Allowing for necessary renovations to proceed efficiently while managing environmental risks.
• Ensure Regulatory Compliance: Adhering to the stringent environmental and safety standards required in New York City.
• Uphold Brand Reputation: Demonstrating a commitment to guest and staff safety through independent environmental verification.

Our partnership with Hyatt highlights our capability to manage environmental safety within the demanding hospitality sector, ensuring that guest experiences are enhanced in environments that meet the highest safety standards.
