Asbestos Abatement - Historic Building: Coleman Mill

Abatemaster successfully completed a large-scale asbestos abatement project at the historic Coleman Mill in Kannapolis, North Carolina. This project required particular attention to historical preservation considerations while ensuring complete environmental safety. The Coleman Mill, originally built in 1898, holds significant historical importance as one of the earliest textile mills in the region and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The project demonstrated Abatemaster’s expertise in handling complex industrial abatement projects while working within the constraints of a historically significant structure. Our team completed the project in January 2025.

Project Description

The project required a carefully planned approach that balanced preservation requirements with environmental safety standards:

Pre-Abatement Phase:

Comprehensive asbestos survey and material testing
Development of a specialized abatement plan considering the building’s historical status
Coordination with historical preservation authorities
Documentation of historical elements requiring special attention
Establishment of containment strategies specific to the historic structure

Execution Phase:

Implementation of specialized containment systems
Careful removal of asbestos-containing materials
Continuous air monitoring and testing
Regular documentation and reporting
Coordination with local authorities and preservation specialists

All work was performed in accordance with federal, state, and local regulations, while maintaining compliance with historical preservation guidelines.
