CAM personnel have authored a number of technical and informative articles that have been published in respected industry journals including the following:

 

The Nov/Dec 2005 issue of the Facility Management Journal (FMJ) carried an article by Hiram Perez titled "Asbestos: The Hidden Budget Buster." This article provides guidance on how a building owner can manage asbestos in place in his or her building.

When the Texas Mold Remediation and Assessment Rules were implemented, CAM's Bill Davis authored an article discussing the impact on property managers and building owners. This article is titled "Got Mold? Now You Need a License to Remove It!" and it was published in the Spring 2005 issue of Office and Commercial Real Estate magazine.

The American Industrial Magazine (http://www.watchdognews.net/), or AIM, has published a number of articles about CAM Environmental. These include:

The November 2003 issue contains a case study of a CAM project performed at the Williams Refinery in North Pole, Alaska.  It's titled "Managing Hydroblast Water During Turnarounds - A Case Study" and describes how CAM helped augment the environmental staff during a major plant turnaround. 

CAM's article "Turnaround and Maintenance Support Services" in Volume 3 Issue 3 describes the types of environmental issues usually encountered during industrial turnarounds and maintenance activities.  Issues that should be planned for before maintenance activities begin include safety, IH, environmental, asbestos, and lead. 

Volume 3 Issue 2 contains CAM's article titled "Keeping Employees Safe on the Job."  This article describes the problem of managing contractor safety on large projects and lists some of the things CAM has done to remedy this situation.
