At the end of the day, the containment is a direct reflection of the professionalism of the contractor that built it.\u00a0 If it looks like a third-grader built it, what will the customer think about the quality of work being performed on the other side? It is not just about taping some plastic over a door while moldy materials are being removed.\u00a0 Containments can serve different roles throughout the remediation process.\u00a0\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EGeneral Considerations\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EAn effective containment design accommodates many considerations. Each can have a direct impact on how well the containment will accomplish the intended objectives.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EConstruction Quality, Functionality and Cost\u00a0are the main areas to focus on\/.\u00a0 Some common questions that should be asked:\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EWhat type of containment makes the most sense?\u00a0 Source, local or full?\u00a0 Does it require specialty containment due to the challenges presented by the sturctore or occupants?\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nWhere will the make-up air come from?\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nWhat acess points require critical barriers?\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nWhat presure differential needs to be established and how will it be monitored and documented?\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nHow long does the containment need to be in place?\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nWhat are the safety concerns? PPE? OSHA?\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nWhat type of building is the project in?\u00a0 A commercial building may present limitations for the contractor as to the types of materials allowed for use (e.g. Hospital).\u00a0\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nSpace limitations typically found in residential settings can \u00a0dictate the size and design of the containment.\u00a0 How and where can we construct an exit\/decon chamber?\u00a0\u00a0\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EIs the containment sufficiently accessible to allow for proper entry, exit, adequate equipment and debris removal?\u00a0 \u00a0\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EWhile containment products can include very expensive materials, their cost should be controlled. After all, the goal is to not only to reduce liability but to also get paid!\u00a0\u00a0A contractor should not get rich from building containment, but they should not lose money either.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EContractors often deploy the simplest and quickest method to set up containment.\u00a0 In reality, the design and construction of containment often takes far longer than the actual remediation.\u00a0 Containment quality controls one of the greatest liabilities that can impact both the contractor as well as the client and should be given priority.\u00a0 The best way to become proficient at building containments is PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE in conjunction with data, data, data!\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u00a0\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003C\/div\u003E  \u003C\/div\u003E  \u003C\/div\u003E\n    \u003C\/div\u003E\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n\u003C\/div\u003E"}]
