National Cancer Institute Building 1022 Autoclave Replacement - Frederick, MD
For this project, our team performed the safe demolition of an existing autoclave system within a BSL-1 lab. Our team maintained a controlled work environment using fire rated temporary containment barriers and HEPA filters and shrouds to minimize dust and debris. We removed the multi-ton autoclave, associated above and underground piping, removed, excavated, inspected and restored the slab with new concrete, and prepared the area for installation of new equipment. We ensured the demolition was safe with GPR and silica control. The project will conclude with repairs to damaged concrete and structural CMU surfaces, followed by complete repainting and waterproofing of walls, ceilings, exposed conduit, piping, hangers, and brackets using a high-performance coating system. The result is a fully restored, modernized, and operationally ready space for new autoclave usage within a BSL-1 lab.
