Unique Challenges: The project presented several distinct challenges, including working during non-standard/noisy hours, load-out constraints involving removing debris out of windows onto a platform and then down a chute, and the need for careful phasing to accommodate ongoing owner operations. Stringent safety measures included prohibiting the use of ladders and traditional sweeping, mandating the use of HEPA vacuums. These measures were essential in achieving the project's goal of a "dust-free" environment while ensuring safety and minimal disruption to the owner's operations. Additionally, work was conducted following strict COVID safety guidelines.
