01 / Project overview
High-control work in a sensitive environment.
JJ&S completed a complex asbestos abatement and demolition project at the VA Medical Center’s 4 North Cardiology Cath Lab II in San Diego.
The work extended across third- through fifth-floor areas and required careful containment, sequencing and material handling inside an active healthcare facility. A 15-person team completed more than 14,700 square feet of documented work in 17 days.
02 / The challenge
Multiple floors. Active facility. No room for shortcuts.
The project combined asbestos abatement, selective demolition and detailed cleaning in a sensitive medical environment. Each work area required disciplined controls that supported safe execution while protecting surrounding operations.
✓ Third- through fifth-floor work ✓ Controlled work zones ✓ Active healthcare setting
03 / JJ&S response
Built around control, coordination and documented execution.
JJ&S organized the project around controlled work zones, specialized protection, material-specific procedures and detailed closeout across each phase.
Protected execution
Specialized worker-protection and access procedures supported safe execution throughout the project.
Material management
ACM removal, encapsulation and regulated waste handling were coordinated as part of one controlled process.
Documented closeout
HEPA cleaning, final cleaning and clearance coordination prepared each completed area for the next phase.
04 / Delivery at scale
Abatement and demolition across 14,700+ square feet.
The scope brought together material removal, selective demolition, containment, cleaning and disposal across multiple work areas within the medical facility.
- ✓ Walls, flooring and ceiling systems
- ✓ Ceiling demolition and ducting removal
- ✓ ACM removal and encapsulation
- ✓ HEPA cleaning and controlled waste disposal

05 / The outcome
Complex work completed in 17 days.
A 15-person team completed 100% of the documented project scopes across more than 14,700 square feet.
The project demonstrates JJ&S’s ability to coordinate technical abatement and demolition inside an active healthcare setting while maintaining the controls, documentation and schedule discipline the environment required.
