Full Lifecycle Management of Hazardous Building Materials

Taking the guesswork out of your next renovation project.

Many common building materials and items contain hazardous and/or regulated chemicals and materials, such as asbestos, lead, polychlorinated biphenyls and mercury. These materials require proper management and disposal to prevent them from posing a risk to human health or the environment.

TRC provides inspections for these hazardous materials and develops management plans and abatement designs for their appropriate handling and eventual disposal.
