The Client, a film and television production company, was referred to Antea Group through an existing partnership and was requesting an initial fast-burn, high-level environment, health, and safety (EHS) assessment of potential set locations in a town located in Oklahoma. The existing structures that were under consideration for use ranged in occupancy and construction type and planned use for the production shoot. Assessments needed to be completed on notice with an accelerated abatement schedule to keep pace with production needs. Due to changes in production location and filming schedule, additional locations were added on.
Upon selection of specific sites, the client requested limited structural and environmental assessments to ensure the health and safety of the actors and production crew. Our local, in-state partner was brought in to identify specific environmental hazards such as lead paint, asbestos, and biological hazards. Remediation approaches suitable for filming needs (e.g., short duration occupancy, presence of children, etc.) were evaluated, agreed to with production personnel, and immediately coordinated with a local remediation partner to ensure meeting the production schedule.
Additional ad hoc production needs were also supported, including identifying controls for production properties impacted by historical contamination as well as by local livestock operations.
