Construction Renovation & Remediation Work

Renovation of older buildings can throw up many issues on a construction site. Two key steps are involved, abatement and remediation. Abatement is the process of permanently removing the problem so it doesn’t recur, and remediation aims to thoroughly address the root cause of the issue. Mould, asbestos and lead paint are major issues that need immediate attention when they are discovered on site.

Remediation plays a crucial role in the construction industry, especially when it comes to addressing issues such as odours, moulds, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). One effective method to combat these problems is through the use of air purification and ventilation units. Here at Cross Rental Services we carry specialised units and design solutions to remove harmful particles, contaminants, and unpleasant odours from the air, creating a healthier and safer environment. When it comes to odours, air purification units utilise filters and advanced technologies like activated carbon to trap and eliminate odour-causing molecules.

In the case of moulds, proper ventilation systems can help control moisture levels, preventing their growth and spread. Additionally, air purification systems can filter out mould spores, minimising their presence in the air. VOCs, which are potentially harmful chemicals emitted by various construction materials, can be effectively reduced through the use of air purifiers equipped with specialised filters designed to capture and neutralise these compounds. By incorporating air purification and ventilation units, construction projects can ensure better indoor air quality, promoting the well-being and comfort of both workers and occupants.
