Tec-An is a licensed asbestos abatement contractor based in Oklahoma City. We serve commercial and public-sector projects across Oklahoma and its surrounding areas. General contractors, architects, building owners, and public agencies call us when asbestos stands between them and a renovation or demolition. We inspect the building, plan the abatement, remove the material, and document the work so your project can move forward. We’ve provided safe abatement services for 40 years.
Call (405) 681-7076 to discuss your scope with an estimator.
Asbestos was used in commercial construction for decades, and much of it is still in place. Most of it sits inside ordinary finishes and building systems.
Asbestos is not visible to the naked eye. Samples are required for confirmation, and we send our samples to accredited third-party labs. Successful projects start with an asbestos inspection before anyone opens a wall or pulls up a floor.
Every job follows the same regulated sequence. The scope changes from building to building, but the steps and the paperwork stay consistent.
The first step is locating the asbestos. If there’s no current pre-renovation or pre-demolition survey, we conduct one. Our licensed inspectors sample suspect materials and map which ones contain asbestos and the quantity of each. We then build an abatement plan tailored to those findings.
Before work begins, we file the required notifications with the Oklahoma Department of Labor and DEQ. Those filings cover state rules and federal Clean Air Act reporting. Most projects then have a 10-day notification period before removal can start. We develop a schedule for your project.
Crews mobilize to the site and build containment around the work area. Gross removal happens inside that containment, followed by a final clean. Air monitoring runs daily for the length of the project, and the results are posted on site.
On most asbestos projects, state regulators inspect and approve the work before the job is complete. Once the regulators inspect and approve, we tear down containment and demobilize. We provide a closeout package that documents how the work was performed, which provides you assurance and protection.
Your quote reflects the materials and quantities found in the survey. Below are three examples showing our experience on the job.
A family-owned motel needed asbestos cleared before demolition, and the owner lived in another state. Our inspection found surfacing material in a small portion of the complex. We built a cost-effective plan around that finding and got it approved by the Oklahoma Department of Labor. The abatement took two weeks and kept the demolition on schedule. The owner approved every step by phone and email.
A fire sprinkler flooded several floors at a university hospital. We moved a crew in to remove the floor tile and the mastic beneath it. Once the tile was up, the mastic tested negative for asbestos. We credited back the cost of the removal, since the job no longer needed it.
A city client was converting a former nursing home into a hardware store. We planned to remove the old linoleum flooring, but it wouldn’t release from the concrete. Our crews scraped it by hand, and the job ran longer than planned. We absorbed the added labor and honored the original price.
Our clients include federal, state, and local agencies, schools, and private contractors. About 65 percent of them are repeat clients.
Our crews are Tec-An employees on W-2 payroll. That makes certified payroll and prevailing-wage compliance straightforward on federal and public jobs.
A clean regulatory record means fewer surprises for you at state inspection and closeout. We can take a project from inspection through the plan, removal, and closeout documents, so you coordinate with one company from start to finish.
Asbestos removal in commercial and public buildings requires licensed workers, regulatory notification, and controlled work practices. Skipping those steps puts people at risk and can leave the building owner with regulatory liability. If you’ve found a material you suspect contains asbestos, leave it in place and give us a call. Our licensed inspector can sample it and tell you how to proceed.
Regulations require notification to be filed before abatement begins, which is 10 business days for most projects. The wait applies to every contractor. We file as early as your scope allows and plan the rest of the schedule around it.
Yes. Furniture, equipment, and other items need to come out of the work area before we build containment. Many clients don’t expect this, so it’s worth planning for early. Doing this before we arrive saves everyone time and allows us to get to work faster.
Depending on the scope, electrical service or air conditioning to the work area may need to be turned off during abatement. We identify those needs during planning so you can coordinate with tenants and other trades.
Abatement follows the same notification and work practice rules on a Saturday as it does on a Tuesday. We can schedule around your site, and every job meets state and federal requirements regardless of the calendar.
Asbestos found during planning is a line item on your schedule. Asbestos found mid-project will stop work. Call (405) 681-7076 or send your project details, and an estimator will tell you how we can help.
