The building, approximately 30 years old, had been showing maintenance needs in the civil construction area, particularly with water infiltration at various points inside the building and the presence of an asbestos roof.
In this regard, Mota-Engil ATIV’s main intervention was the removal of the asbestos roofing, which was carried out in compliance with all current safety regulations. To safeguard the health of the workers, the waste was sent to a licensed waste operator for proper disposal.
The commercialization of materials containing asbestos (ACM) has been prohibited since 2005. However, it is not mandatory to remove asbestos that has already been applied unless it is deteriorated and/or its exposure poses a health risk.
The project was carried out in phases to minimize the impact of asbestos removal. Additionally, the opportunity was taken to waterproof the roof to address rainwater infiltration, install a sandwich panel roof, and repair leaks in the skylight.
This was a challenging project with clear benefits for the Client, providing a greater sense of safety and comfort when moving within their facilities.
