Project Summary
Following the Airport Fire, which burned 23,526 acres in the Santa Ana Mountains and impacted 18 buildings at the California Conservation Corps Los Pinos Facility, Bayview was contract to perform the cleanup. The project focused on mitigating air quality contamination, including soot, ash, metals, and particulates. Bayview set up decontamination chambers for workers, sealed HVAC systems and entry points, and installed HEPA filtration units to enhance air quality. Cleaning procedures involved HEPA vacuuming, wet cleaning, and specialized treatments for floors, furniture, surfaces, and electronics. Special attention was given to sensitive items such as bedding and mattresses. HVAC systems were thoroughly assessed, and updated housekeeping protocols were implemented to prevent further contamination, ensuring a safe and clean environment.
