Design Services for Restroom Upgrades

Philadelphia International Airport is renovating and upgrading their restrooms to improve passenger experience and customer service at the airport by providing exceptional quality restrooms and related amenity facilities to the travelling public. Key planning and design factors are convenience of location, proximity to other airport facilities, travel distances, high quality and durable finishes, and ease of maintenance for building systems and custodial operations. As a subconsultant to HDR, Sci-Tek is providing the following environmental services for the 31 sets of restrooms:

Asbestos Inspection

• Collect asbestos (ACM) bulk samples of suspect asbestos containing materials according to current USEPA and OSHA sampling requirements.
• Submit suspect asbestos bulk samples to a National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program accredited laboratory for analysis.
• Prepare a final report for each of the subject airport terminal restrooms which includes identified ACM including location, type, condition and estimated quantities, bulk sample methodology, laboratory reports, and recommended response actions.

Lead Paint Inspection

• Obtain samples of painted surfaces utilizing an XRF automatic sampler, which detects lead in the painted surface without damage to the paint or surface.
• Prepare a report which includes lead-based paint locations and conditions, sample methodologies, and recommended response actions.

Hazardous Materials / Universal Wastes Survey

• Perform a hazardous materials inventory for the affected areas of the subject airport terminal restrooms to identify Pennsylvania-defined Universal Wastes, including fluorescent bulbs, lighting ballasts, thermostats, exit signs, batteries, pesticides, and other hazardous materials.
• Prepare a Report which includes a list of areas containing Universal Wastes and other hazardous wastes observed.
