5th Floor Lead Stabilization

Government Publishing Office DC

• We performed work during normal business hours.
• We occupied the area on the 5th floor between A522 and A526 for the entire duration of the project.
• We prepared the work area by placing 2 layers of 6-mil poly on the floor and a 1 layer of 6-mil poly wall around the area of work to contain it from adjacent areas that government employees were still occupying.
• We installed a 1-stage decontamination facility that consisted of a dirty room for ingress and egress.
• We installed negative air machines in the area to scrub the air of any lead particles.
• We removed the loose and peeling paint from the ceiling and walls in the area using the wet scraping method. The scrapers were attached to a HEPA vacuum so that most of the paint chips were picked up by the HEPA vacuum. The chips that fell to the poly-covered floor were picked up and stored along with the contents of the HEPA vacuums in DOT-17H drums for disposal.
• After we removed the loose and peeling paint, we encapsulated the scraped areas.
