About this file
This is a Limited Asbestos Survey Report prepared by Halff Associates Inc. for the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) regarding proposed cooling tower and chiller renovation work at the TWC Trinity Building located at 1117 Trinity Street, Austin, Texas. The survey was conducted on July 17, 2025, to identify potential asbestos-containing materials (ACM) in areas that would be disturbed during the renovation project, including the 5th Floor Mechanical Room chillers, roof-top cooling tower, and associated mechanical system piping. The survey identified thirteen homogeneous material areas and collected thirty-nine bulk samples of suspect building materials, including mastics, exterior plaster and lath wall systems, chiller compressor insulation blankets, pipe flange gaskets, fan vibration dampers, and pipe insulation. All samples were analyzed by Cates Laboratories using Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) in accordance with EPA Method 600/R-93/116.
The laboratory analysis, completed on July 24, 2025, determined that no asbestos was detected in any of the thirty-nine bulk samples collected during the survey. All suspect materials tested—including tan, grey, and black mastics; plaster and lath textures; silver insulation blankets; paper/foil wrapped fiberglass and foam insulation; red and green/teal gaskets; white mastics on HVAC ducts; black vibration dampers; and grey caulk—tested negative for asbestos content. The survey was performed by Michael Thiele (DSHS Asbestos Consultant #105780), and Halff Associates holds DSHS Asbestos Consulting Agency License #100386. While no regulated asbestos-containing materials were identified, the report recommends that if suspect ACM is encountered in previously inaccessible areas during renovation activities, samples should be collected by a licensed inspector and analyzed by a qualified laboratory before proceeding with demolition or renovation work.

Re: Limited Asbestos Survey for the Proposed Cooling Tower and Chiller Renovations at the Texas Workforce Commission – Trinity Building, addressed 1117 Trinity Street, Austin, Texas
Dear Mr. Briseno:
Halff Associates Inc. (Halff) performed a limited asbestos survey for the proposed cooling tower and chiller renovation project at the above-referenced building. The limited asbestos survey was conducted on July 17, 2025.
According to information provided by the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) personnel, the general scope of work for the cooling tower and chiller renovation project included replacement of the 5th Floor Mechanical Room chillers, roof-top cooling tower, and associated mechanical system piping. Therefore, suspect building materials that have a potential to be disturbed during the proposed project were sampled as part of this limited survey.
Suspect building materials that could potentially be impacted during the project included mastics, exterior plaster and lath wall system, chiller compressor insulation blankets, pipe flange gaskets, a fan vibration damper, and pipe insulation consisting of mastic on paper/foil wrapped fiberglass or foam. Materials not sampled based on previous asbestos surveys conducted by Halff in May 2023, included the interior drywall system of the 5th
Floor Mechanical Room.
Because asbestos has historically been a component of a wide variety of building materials, the types of building materials, which may potentially contain asbestos, are termed “suspect ACM.” The actual asbestos content, if any, of suspect ACM can be determined only through proper sampling and analytical procedures performed by qualified asbestos inspector and laboratory.
Additionally, at present in the State of Texas, only materials with an asbestos content greater than 1% (1% or greater in a Public Building) are considered regulated asbestos containing material (RACM).
Mr. William Briseno Texas Workforce Commission

Asbestos Survey
Halff is licensed by the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) as an Asbestos Consulting Agency (DSHS License #100386). Mr. Michael Thiele (DSHS Asbestos Consultant #105780) assessed readily accessible building materials located in the identified areas of proposed renovation activities. Halff collected a total of thirty-nine bulk samples of suspect building materials. Bulk samples of the suspect building materials were obtained and placed in individual sample bags labeled with a unique number.
The samples were transported to Cates Laboratories in Dallas, Texas for analysis. Cates Laboratories is a successful participant in the Department of Commerce, National Institute of Standards and Technology, National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP, Lab ID# 200569). Cates Laboratories is also licensed by the DSHS as an Asbestos laboratory (DSHS License # 30-0287). The samples were analyzed by Cates Laboratories using Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM).
The limited asbestos survey identified thirteen homogenous areas and yielded a collection of thirty-nine bulk samples. Based on laboratory analysis, asbestos was not identified in the samples collected from the suspect building materials as part of this survey.
The sample locations are illustrated on Figure 1. Summary of homogeneous materials and bulk sample analysis tables, a sample location map, chain of custody, laboratory report, photographs, and licenses/certifications are presented as attachments at the end of this report.
This limited asbestos survey was intended to provide bulk sampling for suspect ACM in the area of proposed renovation associated with the cooling tower and chiller at the facility. This survey was not intended to satisfy EPA guidelines in the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) codified in 40 CFR Part 763 but was intended to provide general information concerning the presence of ACM associated with the areas identified in this report. The regulations covering this project may be found in 40 CFR PART 61 Subpart M:
National Emission Standards for Hazardous air Pollutants: Asbestos (NESHAP) and the Texas Department of State Health Services Texas Asbestos Health Protection Rules (TAPHR) 25 TAC 296. Regardless of the thoroughness of an asbestos survey, the possibility exists in which some areas containing asbestos were inaccessible or different from those at specific locations. Suspect materials not sampled should be assumed ACM until tested by laboratory analysis.
Mr. William Briseno Texas Workforce Commission

Conclusions and Recommendations
Based on data developed during this limited asbestos survey, the following conclusions can be made:
No asbestos was identified in the thirty-nine samples collected from the suspect ACMs located in the areas of proposed renovation at the TWC Trinity Building.
The following recommendations are made based on the results of the limited asbestos survey:
If during any renovation activities, suspect ACM is encountered in areas that were not accessible at the time this survey was performed, samples of these materials should be collected by a DSHS licensed inspector and analyzed by a qualified laboratory.
No asbestos-containing materials were identified during this limited ACM survey. Any identified ACM in the building that is not subject to immediate abatement should be monitored for proper maintenance procedures as part of a site-specific O&M Program. Prior to any remodeling, renovation, or demolition activities, proper asbestos abatement procedures developed by a licensed asbestos consultant should be followed for all identified ACM. These procedures include the use of a licensed asbestos contractor and the proper disposal of such materials in a landfill that is authorized to accept asbestos.
The enclosed information documents our process and findings. If you have any questions or require any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact us. We appreciate the opportunity to be of service to TWC.
Sincerely, HALFF ASSOCIATES, INC.

Sample Description/Location Asbestos Content
These samples were analyzed by layers. The overall percent asbestos for the sample is reported when relevant. The EPA considers a material to be asbestos containing only if it contains greater than one percent asbestos by Calibrated Visual Area Estimation (CVAE). EPA regulations also indicate that Regulated Asbestos Containing
Materials (RACM) – materials that are friable or may become friable – be further analyzed by point counting when the results indicate less than ten percent asbestos by CVAE. CatesLab utilizes CVAE on a routine basis and does not include point counting unless specifically requested by the client. The results may not be reproduced except in full.
