1.0 BUILDING INFORMATION

Building #40 was originally constructed in 1993 and has had no major renovations.

The interior floor finishes included carpet, floor tile, and concrete; the interior wall finishes included gypsum wallboard and brick; and the interior ceiling finishes included ceiling tile and metal. The roofing system is a flat rubber-membrane roof; the exterior of the structure is brick.

The piping systems were insulated; fiberglass insulation (without hard fittings) is located throughout the structure. HVAC systems located in the structure consisted of hot water radiators and forced air furnaces equipped with heating/cooling coils.

2.0 ASBESTOS SURVEY INFORMATION

Building #40 was surveyed as part of a larger project for the VA. This report is part of “Volume 2” of a two volume series. This report includes building specific information only; please refer to the opening section of “Volume 2” for methodologies, definitions, and other pertinent supporting information.

A total of 33 samples were collected from suspect asbestos-containing materials (ACM) on November 7, 2008. Laboratory analysis results indicate 0 of these samples tested positive for asbestos.
