Healthcare Asbestos Abatement: Foothills Medical Centre Boiler Room Project
Makki Demolition, in conjunction with our specialized hazardous materials division, successfully completed a high-stakes asbestos abatement project at the Foothills Medical Centre, located at 1403 29 Street NW, Calgary. Performing remediation within an active hospital facility requires the highest level of technical expertise, as the project demanded zero-compromise air quality management and strict adherence to infection control protocols.

Full Asbestos Containment: Construction of a poly-sheeting enclosure to isolate the boiler room from the rest of the hospital
Negative Air Pressure Systems: Installation of industrial HEPA-filtered air scrubbers to ensure that no asbestos fibers could migrate outside the work zone
Mechanical System Stripping: Controlled removal of asbestos insulation from complex piping and mechanical assemblies
Operational Continuity: All work was sequenced to ensure the hospital's primary heating and utility systems remained functional

Safety Protocols & Environmental Controls
Strict Infection Control: We implemented specialized barriers and entry/exit decontamination chambers to protect patients and medical staff from any exposure
Alberta OH&S Compliance: Every phase of the project met or exceeded the Alberta Asbestos Abatement Manual requirements and provincial health and safety standards
Independent Air Monitoring: We coordinated with independent consultants for daily air sampling, ensuring the containment remained effective throughout the project duration
Final Clearance Testing: Before the containment was dismantled, abatement testing in Calgary was conducted via a third-party lab to confirm the area was 100% safe
