The 3D Method

Minimize Risks, Maximize Safety
The 3D Method for Hazardous Material Remediation

Your comprehensive plan to prevent delays, manage costs, and ensure compliance with EPA (40 CFR 262.11) and OSHA (29 CFR 1926.850e) standards—from start to finish.

Facing Unseen Risks During Your Project?

Hazards like asbestos, lead, and mercury are hidden dangers that can disrupt any project. Finding them midway can lead to costly delays, fines, and risks to workers and the environment.

3D Enviro gets it. We see clients grappling with unexpected disruptions, compliance worries, and long-term environmental concerns. Our solution: a four-phase approach to detect and eliminate hazards before they impact your project.

A Proven Four-Phase Method That Keeps Your Project On Track

3D Enviro serves Washington, D.C. and Maryland with specialized asbestos, lead, and PCB remediation services. Nationwide, we offer expertise in mercury remediation for projects of any size.

Our 3D Method is designed to identify and remove hazardous materials—guaranteeing smooth and safe project execution.

Our 4-Phase Approach to Hazardous Material Abatement

Phase 1

Historical Assessment & Site Survey

We begin with a detailed feasibility assessment, which is crucial for meeting EPA and OSHA standards. This phase covers:

  • Historical Research to review site history.
  • Interviews with key stakeholders.
  • Site Inspections to identify potential hazards.

By addressing risks upfront, we keep your project on track from day one.

Benefits:
  • Early detection prevents costly delays and regulatory setbacks.
  • Site-specific planning minimizes risk and ensures compliance.

Phase 2

Facility Characterization Assessment

After the initial assessment, we conduct thorough sampling to detect contaminants. We use advanced technology to ensure accuracy:

  • Custom Sampling Plans for your site’s specifics.
  • Advanced Tools like the Ohio Lumex RA-915+ for mercury and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) for lead.
  • Accurate Analysis to provide a clear contamination profile.

This phase is critical for ensuring compliance with all relevant EPA and OSHA standards, avoiding potential fines and project shutdowns.

Benefits:
  • Data-driven remediation strategy tailored to your site.
  • Identifies hazardous materials before they pose a risk to workers.

Phase 3

Decontamination and Selective Demolition

Once hazards are identified, we implement targeted decontamination, removing contaminants safely while maintaining operational continuity:

  • Targeted Remediation using scientifically backed methods that protect your timeline.
  • Specialized Techniques including mercury-specific vacuums and tailored chemical treatments.
  • Expert Execution by our trained team following rigorous safety protocols. This phase strictly adheres to OSHA (29 CFR 1926.850e) guidelines, ensuring full compliance throughout remediation.
Benefits:
  • Safe and compliant removal of hazardous materials.
  • Minimal disruption to ongoing operations.

Phase 4

Post-Decontamination Clearance Testing

Our final phase verifies that your site meets all regulatory and safety standards through independent third-party testing:

  • Comprehensive Testing by an industrial hygienist to confirm thorough decontamination.
  • Detailed Reporting documenting that the site is hazard-free and compliant.
  • Stand-Alone Service Option available when other providers perform remediation work. This critical final step delivers verified compliance with EPA, OSHA, and state regulations.
Benefits:
  • Documented compliance with all relevant regulations.
  • A clean, hazard-free environment for occupants and workers.
