Tamworth - Floor Tile Mastic removal

Here is the entrance from inside the containment. The single black flap is covering a 2 stage decon with a shower that isn't plugged in. I would have gotten pictures of the removal but I didn't want to contaminate my camera and when they are doing the grinding I am not even allowed in the containment.

They actually have 2 different crews. One crew to remove the floor time and one to operate the grinding machines. When they are doing the grnding you can smell it and kind of see a visibile haze around the containment, doesn't make me very happy, but there isn't much I can do about it.


Here is the variety of equitment they will use to remove the floor tile and the mastic.


This is inside the containment. The ground around the edges is not taped down and they are using 2 neg air machines.

This is the top of the containment. Notice the lack of tape and that there are ceiling times removed.

Now this post is not for the faint of heart. Time for the shock of how lax their standards are when it comes to abatement for mechanical floor tile removal (using scrapers and grinders)
