Re: Limited Assessment of Pipe Fitting Condition- Building 200, Sub-basement, Crawlspace 79 Middleville Road, Bldg 200, Northport, NY 11768

Dear Mr. Lambert, Pursuant to your request, our office has conducted a limited assessment to determine the condition of pipe fittings throughout the crawlspace located within the sub-basement of building 200 on October 6, 2022. This inspection was prompted due to upcoming renovation and excavation plans.

The crawlspace contains predominately fiberglass jacketed pipe runs with field cast fitting insulation (presumed) to be asbestos containing on all DHW/DCW, steam supply and condensate return lines throughout. As there were no system labels on pipe runs in this area we derived total quantities based on pipe diameter. Representative conformational sampling is recommended per diameter size.

<1” = ~ 230 each 2”-3” = ~232 each 3”-4” = ~24 each 6”-8” = ~14 each 8”-10” = ~21 each 10”-12” = ~30 each

The majority of the pipe fittings throughout the crawlspace appear to be in intact condition.

However, we did have occasion to observe damaged, or significantly damaged fittings, which must be abated as early as practical. These fitting pipe diameters and locations are as follows:

Column Markers/Location Pipe Size Notes

R8-R9 3 fittings 10”-12” Sig. Damage, Water Damage

12K-12J 1 fitting 1”-2” Sig Damage, Water Damage

Open-Air Exhaust Area 2 fittings 10”-12” Sig. Damage, Debris at floor

It should be noted that a new water line system has been installed throughout the crawlspace. This new system was not represented within this assessment.

Northport VA, Building#200, Sub-basement, Crawlspace

Disturbance of any quantity of asbestos is regulated in NYS under 12 NYCRR Part 56 “Asbestos”.

Summarily this work requires a removal by licensed abatement firm and proper disposal and manifesting of waste, etc. Only NYS licensed personnel may enter, contain, remove and dispose of these materials. Dependent on the size of the asbestos abatement, air sampling may be required.

You can contact our office for further clarification once the full scope of work is determined.

Enclosed herewith please find all supporting analytical documentation, sample location diagrams, methods & procedures, firm and personnel licensures & disclaimer. If you should have any questions regarding this report, or require further assistance in this matter, please do not hesitate to contact our office at your earliest convenience.
