Project Description
Wilton Mall, a significant retail hub, underwent various changes and updates between 2014 and 2019, including tenant fit-outs, renovations, and general infrastructure maintenance. To ensure these activities were conducted safely and in compliance with environmental regulations, particularly concerning potential asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) common in buildings of its era, IPR Associates & Environmental was engaged to provide crucial environmental oversight. Our role involved comprehensive Asbestos Inspections and independent Third-Party Air Monitoring throughout this period.
Our certified professionals conducted thorough inspections across diverse areas of the mall, including common areas, individual retail units, and back-of-house operational spaces. These inspections aimed to identify and assess any ACMs present, enabling the mall management and construction teams to plan and execute work safely. We provided detailed reports and hazard assessments, forming the basis for safe work practices and, when necessary, formal abatement plans.
During periods of renovation or any work with the potential to disturb ACMs, IPR Associates & Environmental implemented rigorous third-party air monitoring protocols. This independent oversight was critical in a high-traffic public environment like Wilton Mall. We ensured that air quality remained safe for shoppers, mall employees, and construction personnel, verifying the effectiveness of containment measures and providing final clearance upon work completion.
