The Challenge: The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey was Seeking a Way to Abate the Asbestos in this Building While Still Being Able to Take Advantage of its Amazing Fireproofing Properties.

Benefits Desired:

• High Impact- and Abuse-Resistance
• Fast Drying
• Minimum Building Downtime
• Little or No Hazardous Waste Generated
• Class A Fire Rated

Results: A GLOBAL Encasement System was chosen to Lock Down the Asbestos. To Create a Seamless Encasement System 100% Acrylic Caulk and GEI Seam Tape were Both Applied Over Gaps Between Wood Enclosures. AsbestoSafe® Top Coat Gave the Project a Durable, Fire Resistant Clean White Finish.
