How will it impact building occupants?

  • The space will be under the control of Urbacon for the duration of the work.
  • Building access to the affected areas will be restricted for safety. Occupants will have a path of travel in the loading dock and adjacent work areas. Flag people or traffic controllers will be on site to direct traffic as needed.
  • Every effort will be made to keep the noise and disruption to a minimum.
  • Dust will be controlled, and floors will be vacuumed and wet mopped after the shift to prevent dust from traveling to nearby dust-sensitive areas.
  • Any asbestos work, electrical shutdown, and mechanical service alerts, if required, will be issued separately.
