projects, and audits. Mr. Siu is a recognized expert in environmental
management, with over 20 years of experience.
Mr. Siu managed remediation of several contaminated chemistry and
mining laboratories at the University of California at Berkeley. This

mercury-saturated asphalt materials and planning the removal of a
concrete-filled 1,000 gallon UST from the basement of a historic
classroom building. Mr. Siu has also managed comprehensive asbestos and
lead-based paint surveys at numerous campus buildings to determine the
condition and extent of asbestos-containing materials and to prepare
abatement cost estimates, design documents, and long term budgeting and
planning estimates. Sites included Cowell Memorial Hospital, Manville
Hall, Dwinelle Hall, Hearst Mining Building, McCone Hall, and Kroeber
Hall, among others.
Mr. Siu managed the asbestos survey and database project for over
400 historic buildings owned by the City and County of San Francisco.
His role included overseeing two competing consulting firms performing
building surveys to ensure uniformity of data from SCA and the other
two consultants. Mr. Siu managed completion of this extensive,
fast-track project on schedule to accommodate seismic retrofit
activities planned for the City-owned buildings. Mr. Siu supervised the
development of the asbestos database in parallel with the data
collection and laboratory analysis. The final database package
contained over 200,000 data records and was installed at the Public
Health Department�s headquarters to allow centralized management of
asbestos-impacting projects.
