Asbestos abatement is a rocky terrain to navigate. If not dealt with professionally, the abatement procedure can be hazardous, entailing various health risks. To safely dispose of asbestos, it is imperative to hire a specialist with knowledge of the risks and proper environmental disposal techniques.

A certified asbestos expert, ATCO Contracting Group is a woman-owned environmental contractor with over 20 years of experience in the field. Committed to the highest standards of safety, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness, it provides innovative asbestos solutions, enabling its clients to meet their abatement and regulatory obligations.

Be it a simple residential duct removal or a full-scale commercial building abatement, ATCO does it all with unsurpassed competence. As a specialized subcontractor, it offers a range of services, including lead removal, mold remediation, and core drilling. Regardless of the size and complexity of the projects, ATCO ensures safety, timeliness, and discretion.

ATCO is a union company (locals 12A and 78) and an active member of the Environmental Contractors Association & Building Trades Association. Safety being ATCO’s top priority, all the projects are executed in compliance with federal, state, and local regulations and meet New York City, New York State, OSHA, and EPA guidelines. Moreover, considering the health risks associated with exposure to asbestos-containing materials, ATCO provides annual medical examinations, including CT tests, respirator fit testing, and blood tests to screen for exposure to lead.

It also deploys state-of-the-art tools and well-planned, proven techniques to ease the complex process of asbestos removal and disposal.

The company has a warehouse to store in-stock materials and equipment, which enables it to undertake large-scale projects. Its fleet of trucks helps in managing multiple projects simultaneously.

Working primarily with public agencies, such as schools, the Metropolitan Transit Authority, and the Department of Design and Construction, ATCO possesses a hazardous waste reporter permit that authorizes it to transport asbestos waste within the state.

ATCO also provides its services to insurance carriers, property management companies, restoration specialists, construction companies, and government agencies. In addition, it caters to schools, housing complexes, and various state agencies, including the Federation of Asian Societies for Molecular Imaging and the Office of General Services.

Behind the success of each project is ATCO’s in-house team of seasoned, certified supervisors, each with over ten years of experience. They bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to every project and take great pride in leading their skilled crews to success. Project managers are also an integral part of the team, providing guidance and support at every step to guarantee that projects are completed on time and within budget while meeting the highest standards.

The team leads the projects from start to finish, maintains control over the quality of the work, and ensures that clients receive consistent results every time. Taking pride in its workmanship and attention to detail, ATCO maintains all operations in-house, which is a key factor in consistently exceeding clients’ expectations.

“We don’t subcontract any work to others. We have our own accountants, estimators, and bookkeepers; all work is done in-house,” says Irene Bouloubasis, operations manager at ATCO Contracting Group.

The company once took up a multi billion-dollar state project involving soft demolition and extraction of underground utilities for an under-construction airport. ATCO had to finish the abatement work within five years but ended up wrapping up the project sooner than expected. This instance reflects the company’s unmatched expertise.

The abatement process can often be highly taxing for clients. ATCO ensures peace of mind by factoring in all their concerns and planning out every detail of the process from start to finish.

ATCO not only upholds the humanitarian duty of managing asbestos but does so with the noble intent of creating a safe environment for all.
