Market snapshot

These figures describe Environmental Remediation & Abatement (5.3.5), the segment that Asbestos & Lead Abatement sits within. They are not figures for Asbestos & Lead Abatement on its own.

FragmentationFragmentedEstimate

Not sized here on purpose. Remediation and cleanup contracting is counted under environmental services in natural resources, and repeating it in construction would book the same work twice. What sits here is the abatement and demolition capability that construction firms carry in-house, a margin enhancer on redevelopment projects rather than a market of its own.
