Hi! I'm a French-speaking student and I don't understand what is "abatement work". Can you explain that to me in English, please? Thanks.
Here's a definition of abatement:
http://www.answers.com/topic/abatement
Abatement work is whatever needs to be done to completely eliminate (get rid of) whatever the offending material is ... in most cases, asbestos.
Bien qu’ « abatement » signifie dimunition d’une manière générale (tax abatement). Il semblerait qu’ici, en ce qui concerne l’amiante surtout, ce serait « élimination » qui conviendrait.On traduirait donc par "Travaux d’élimination".
Abestos abatement = désamiantage
Do you agree Writeteacher ?
Of course! "Abatement work" refers to the process of reducing or eliminating something, typically related to construction or building maintenance. In the context of construction, abatement work often involves remediation or removal of hazardous materials such as asbestos, lead, or mold. It can also involve reducing noise, dust, or other disturbances that may affect the environment or people nearby.
To get a more comprehensive understanding of abatement work, I suggest looking up specialized resources such as construction industry publications, government regulations on building maintenance, or consulting with professionals in the construction, renovation, or environmental fields. These sources can provide detailed information on the specific types of abatement work, the procedures involved, safety measures, and legal requirements in your particular region or country. Additionally, browsing through case studies or examples of abatement work projects can further enhance your understanding.
