ABATEMENT GENERAL NOTES

Generalized Scope of Work

The scope of work consists of removal and disposal of window assemblies with asbestos caulks and lead based paint within Regulated Areas. The extents of visible asbestos caulk and lead material varies with each window assembly and is in good condition. Underlying the metal cladding “window wrap” are hidden asbestos caulk and lead based paint on components, subassemblies, and adjacent joining materials that is in poor or delamination condition. Upon completing removal of components, the remaining opening shall be the original window opening within the brick/block substrate with remaining surfaces free of visible asbestos caulk and lead based paint. The remaining structural substrates shall be protected from damage during the performance of work.

Impact to adjacent materials is limited to amount necessary and not to exceed restrictions. Refer to associated Glovebag Asbestos Abatement Section 02 82

13.13 and Lead Abatement Section 02 83 33.13 as related work shall be performed concurrently within same Regulated Area. Perform all work within Regulated Areas described as Options 1 through 4. Options 1, 2 and 4 are Regulated Areas staged from the interior of Building 1 and Options 3 are staged from the exterior. Some window assemblies are to be removed within Regulated Areas using specific Options where keynoted on drawings.

Applied asbestos caulk is present on surfaces adjacent to window components and is to be removed from the underlying substrates and remaining adjacent materials such as brick, plaster, building blocks, drywall, etc. which form and/or outline “the window pocket”. Window components impacted by applied asbestos and/or lead include glass, wood frames, wood subframes, historic metal frames, moldings, anchors, sills, stools, trim, cladding, infill (bridging materials) and/or subassemblies. Historic anchored outer/surround “metal frames” are to remain embedded within plaster wall with visible caulks removed from future window mating surfaces (a limited case that exists in some areas on levels 7 through 9). In addition to window components, typical adjacent materials removed in Regulated Areas will included plaster, drywall, mortar, plywood covers, metal framing studs, ceiling tiles, and other similar materials in amounts necessary and within prescribed maximum limits to access window assembly components. Non typical lead painted adjacent materials exist in limited areas as keynoted on drawings and include lead ceramic wall/dressing tiles, interior cage framing, and exterior shutters/caging.

All waste generated within regulated area, except for properly cleaned window glass, is to be treated as Lead and Asbestos Containing Waste where quantity will vary by window assembly. Exterior brick shall be protected from damage.

Affected remaining materials within window pocket, except exterior brick, are to be treated with a bridging encapsulate.

Where keynoted on drawings, work shall include removal of window assembly, asbestos or lead contaminated ceiling tiles, removal and/or repair of asbestos TSI on pipes, scrape and stabilize, cleaning, and encapsulation using a directed Regulated Area Option 4.

As keynoted on drawings, ceiling tiles will be impacted by window assembly removal and will require a pre-inspection by VPIH to determine presence and condition of asbestos TSI above. These inspections are to be requested in advance of assembly removals. The results of the inspections may require additional removal, disposal, and or cleaning of ceiling tiles, removal and/or repair of asbestos TSI on pipes, cleaning, and encapsulation within an interior staged Regulated Area Option 1 or 4.

Where keynoted on drawings, work is to be performed on nights or weekends (Off Hours). Coordination and timely completion are required to maintain hospital services in these locations.

Where Regulated Area is staged from the interior of the building (Options 1, 2, and 4), all work shall be performed within a negative pressure enclosure.
