Melching performs full-scope environmental remediation, including asbestos abatement, lead paint removal, PCB and mercury cleanup, and site decontamination.

Yes. Our operators and field staff hold 40-hour HAZWOPER, asbestos supervisor, and lead-safety certifications. Continuous training is verified through MIOSHA’s Consultation, Education and Training (CET) Division.

Each project begins with a site-specific safety and health plan, air-monitoring protocols, and documentation that align with MIOSHA Part 602 (asbestos) and federal 29 CFR 1926.1101 standards.

Yes. As a self-performing contractor, Melching manages abatement, structural demolition, and site restoration in-house—reducing cost, risk, and downtime.

If previously unknown asbestos, lead, or other contaminants are discovered, our trained crews stop work, secure the area, and contact our environmental team for assessment and containment before resuming.

Any industrial, commercial, or institutional building constructed before modern regulations may contain asbestos, lead, PCBs, mercury, or contaminated soils. This includes factories, power plants, schools, hospitals, municipal buildings, warehouses, and brownfield sites.

We begin with a detailed environmental inspection that may include sampling, air monitoring, historical record review, and assessment of building materials. This information shapes a site-specific abatement plan designed to protect workers and comply with all regulatory standards.

Melching packages, labels, transports, and disposes of all regulated waste through certified facilities. We maintain complete waste manifests and chain of custody documentation to ensure compliance with MIOSHA, EPA, and EGLE regulations.

Yes. While Phase I and Phase II ESAs are typically performed by environmental consultants, Melching collaborates closely with these teams and uses their findings to develop accurate abatement and demolition plans.

Yes. Melching performs selective abatement and remediation in operating buildings, manufacturing plants, hospitals, and office environments. Our crews use containment systems, negative air pressure, and dust control to keep operations safe and uninterrupted.

When managed correctly, remediation reduces delays by eliminating hazards early in the project. Because Melching self performs abatement and demolition, we sequence activities efficiently and keep the project moving without subcontractor bottlenecks.

Yes. Melching crushes concrete, recycles metals, and handles material separation as part of full-site cleanup. Recycling reduces disposal costs, supports sustainability goals, and prepares the site for redevelopment.

Clients receive a full closeout package that may include clearance testing results, waste manifests, disposal certificates, air monitoring logs, site reports, and any required regulatory documentation.

Yes. We handle environmental remediation, demolition, grading, and site restoration in-house, creating clean, stable, and compliant sites ready for redevelopment, sale, or new construction.
