Air Monitoring

Air monitoring during asbestos abatement is required by law. It must be performed by a company other than the abatement contractor. Churchill Environmental Air Sampling Technicians provide environmental air sampling by applying proper techniques and methods. They are trained in the following procedures:

·        Where to sample

·        Collection

·        Handling

·        Recording

·        Chain-of-custody procedures during transport of samples

Our data is collected and a report is generated for your records. We pride ourselves in being knowledgeable and thorough. We understand that your operation is counting on us to be accurate and professional, and we have a long standing record of doing so.

Project Monitoring

Churchill Environmental Project Monitors serve as the on-site representatives of the building owner to oversee asbestos abatement work. The Project Monitor’s duty is to insure that work is performed in accordance with specifications and in compliance with all Federal, State and local laws. Project Monitors also perform the vital role of conducting visual inspections of asbestos projects to determine that the job has met the criteria to conduct air clearance tests.

Our Project Monitors are committed to ensuring your project be done correctly. We realize our performance impacts the overall quality of each project.
