Banner Environmental Services Supports Starr Development’s Restoration Project in Fall River

In case you missed it, we recently shared a recap on the project that focused on bringing life back to the Cornell Mill in Fall River. The mill, built in the 1800’s, is a 192,000 sq foot old cotton mill which operated until the Depression. By July of next year, the Mill will be restored into beautiful one and two-bedroom apartments by Starr Development.

Demolition ProjectBanner Environmental Services worked with Starr Development to provide asbestos abatement and interior demolition services. The flooring and beams which were dismantled were set to be reclaimed throughout the building and the remainder of the salvaged wood set aside for other restoration projects Starr takes on in the future. As part of the overall project, Banner also removed asbestos containing window glaze in preparation for new window installations.

We shared the project update on Facebook and here is what one reader had to say:

“Starr hires some great contractors, and it seems Banner is no exception. Considerable progress, and faster lately. Renovating an 1890 Fall River mill, and doing it right. Not the city’s tallest textile mill, but it has excellent light. I’ve yet to see anything from Starr that was described as “merely adequate” from Starr. Am told windows will be double-pane glass…”

A special shout out and thank you for the kind words, but more so for the opportunity to be a part of such a prestigious project! We too are anxious to see the final restoration! To stay in the loop on our latest projects, be sure to follow us on Facebook here.

Asbestos Removal Done Right and Oh-So-Wrong

asbestos removal right wrong

Despite asbestos being outlawed as a construction material in the United States decades ago, it’s still rampant in existing structures, causing a nightmare situation in renovation and demolition projects. In most states, like Massachusetts, it’s mandated that a licensed asbestos abatement professional handles the removal of the highly-dangerous material.

Older buildings and homes are often the subject of asbestos-related headlines – sometimes for good and sometimes for the bad. Let’s take a closer look.

For a Connecticut middle school, the asbestos removal was done so safely and by proper standards that activities were still able to be conducted in other parts of the building. The school needed to remove asbestos-laden tank and pipe insulation in their mechanical room as well as tile flooring in one section of the school. Although school officials opted to do the project in the summer, the school was still operating for summer activities. Parents of students were notified and no programming was interrupted thanks to the licensed abatement professionals ability to sanction and isolate the work areas. Regular air testing was also initiated to ensure the safety of the children.

And while this is how it should be done always, unfortunately, that’s not always the case.

In Ohio, the owner of a real estate development company has been fined and sentenced with jail time for the illegal removal and disposal of asbestos. In an attempt to save money, the individual hired a scrap worker to remove the asbestos from a building set to be demolished. The worker then disposed of the asbestos in a nearby wooded area and in trash bins in the neighborhood.

And in Pennsylvania, a man was sentenced to over a year in prison for falsifying documents, claiming that he had removed asbestos from an old church. However, the man never did the work and also fraudulently billed the property owner for services never executed.

Since asbestos was regularly used in building right up until 1990, it’s still very common in structures and needs to be completely removed during renovations and before demolitions. It’s critical to contract with a licensed asbestos abatement company, such as Banner Environmental Services, for all such work. Banner Environmental Services is fully-licensed and trained, providing service to Rhode Island and Massachusetts (including the Cape Cod area, Nantucket, and the Islands). Contact us for more.
