Mercury Floor Removal
Mercury
In the 1960's, a number of companies began manufacturing and installing a thin layer of synthetic, polyurethane flooring on top of concrete sub-floors, to provide a resilient rubber-like surface. The Mercury-containing polyurethane floors were widely installed in school gymnasiums across the United States until being reportedly discontinued amid concerns over their emissions of elemental mercury vapor.
AbateTech Inc. is a team fully serviced mercury specialists that are experienced in the safe removal and disposal of mercury rubber flooring. These projects include but are not limited equipment, grinding, shot blasting, disposal and project documentation.
It is not known how many of these floors currently exist, whether they are still being installed, or what schools have them. As the floors age and deteriorate, cracks form and mercury vapors can be released into the air.
It is our teams goal to contain theses hazardous conditions and remove them in a timely manner to eliminate any future issues for our children, teachers, staff, ETC.
