Asbestos Found During Construction Project at Bakersfield, CA College

During a February 2009 demolition and construction project at a Bakersfield, CA college, asbestos abatement was performed because floor tiles were determined to contain asbestos.

Because previous repair and renovation projects in areas of the campus have revealed a specific size of floor tiles were always found to contain asbestos, abatement is conducted whenever those sized tiles are in an area where work is being performed

After the asbestos abatement was completed, air testing confirmed the area was safe for the construction project to resume.
