The Ames Community School District (CSD) has seen significant investment in facility improvements in the past three decades. As new facilities are built, old structures are renovated, decommissioned, sold, or demolished. Safely engaging in any activity that could disturb asbestos-containing materials (ACM) requires skilled and experienced professionals that can ensure teachers, students, and contractors are not exposed.

Our staff have worked on nearly every building in the school district, and more than 1,000 samples have been collected and tested. Over the course of three decades, we’ve provided air monitoring and abatement oversight, demolition oversight, preparation of bid documents and project specifications, and indoor air quality investigations. We’ve also assisted school district staff with EPA and OSHA training required for employees that may come into contact with ACM during work activities.
