01 / Project overview

A live project needed immediate control.

JJ&S stepped into an active asbestos abatement project at Humboldt University and assumed responsibility for completing the remaining work.

With only two days’ notice, the team mobilized more than 20 certified technicians to Arcata and established a seven-day work schedule. The objective was clear: recover the schedule and finish before the general contractor’s three-week deadline.

02 / The challenge

Take over an active scope
and move immediately.

The abatement project was already underway when JJ&S was called in. The team had to understand the remaining work, mobilize a large certified crew, and establish a productive field rhythm without a long transition period.
