Project Updates

Bayview Environmental was contracted to perform the abatement of fireproofing for the fire alarm replacement project located at Carson Library. The existing building has two floors, 1st floor is approximately 30,000 SF and a partial 2nd floor mechanical room. The Environmental team was contracted to perform the abatement of approximately 1,050 spots located throughout the 1st floor on overhead steel beams and ceiling deck areas. Challenges include working in an occupied building, phasing and coordination of work to ensure minimal disruption to working staff and providing protection over all existing fixed furniture and shelves to prevent any damage during abatement.

Bayview Environmental Services is currently performing asbestos remediation for the decommissioning of the 640-megawatt electric power generating station composed of four conventional natural gas–fired electric steam generating units. (Units 1 through 4) Unit 5 is a peaking natural gas–fired simple-cycle combustion turbine generation unit. Units 1, 2, and 5 were retired in 2003 and Units 3 and 4 in 2016. The project also includes an administration/office building, maintenance shop/storage buildings, chemical building, fire hose shacks and main control rooms located within Units 3 and 4. Our scope of work covers removing thousands of feet of TSI piping, boiler insulation and fire bricks throughout the Units as well as removing an abundance of transite siding and piping located all over the site. This specific project requires a large work force and access to some of the areas is extremely limited. Our highly trained personnel will be working off scaffolding that spans nearly 135 feet high with confined space along with all the surrounding elements that presents a challenge that few companies in our industry can execute. Our Southern California branch is pleased to be selected as the contractor for this project as it encompasses many technical challenges involved with our trade.

90,000 SF interior demolition project with an ambitious sustainability goal of exceeding 90% recycling rate for all construction demolition and debris. Materials were source-separated and transported to various trade partners for reuse and recycle. A large amount of items such as furniture, office equipment, computer monitors and cabling were donated to charities spanning the globe.

Complete non-structural interior demolition and campus facade improvements to 10 existing buildings in a lab / business park. The work was performed on schedule though various starts, stops & delays as well as logistical challenges with equipment placement.

This project required months of planning as the historical Grace Cathedral was located directly adjacent to the worksite. Interior demolition and abatement took place while select exterior concrete was removed in precise locations to expose post tension rods. The largest portion of Bayview Demolition’s scope was two story pre-cast concrete panels which had to be removed in close proximity to the historical church. Prior to the removal of the panels, Bayview Environmental successfully removed the PCB contaminated caulking and concrete from the panels. After these panels were removed Bayview Environmental was then tasked to encapsulate all the remaining concrete using an epoxy encapsulant.
