Abatement Technologies, a manufacturer of specialized construction containment products designed to help protect those in and around construction in occupied spaces, is celebrating 2023 as a year of growth. Throughout 2023, the company continued to expand its North American presence, bringing its indoor air quality solutions to new markets.
Significant milestones include opening a state-of-the-art global headquarters in Ontario, expanding rental opportunities through a new partnership with Temporary Wall Systems (TWS), and ensuring success for key clients with its SHIELD WALL™ modular containment wall solutions.
New global headquarters
In early 2023, Abatement Technologies opened a new global headquarters in Fort Erie, Ontario, a strategic location for the company to better serve Atlantic Canada and the Eastern Seaboard.
The multi-purpose, 100,000-square-foot facility is now home to the company's manufacturing and warehousing operations, as well as its research and administrative departments. Within this state-of-the-art facility, Abatement Technologies is leveraging innovative manufacturing and production processes to support the company’s long-term growth plans.
partnership with TWS
Continuing its growth trajectory, Abatement Technologies announced its partnership with TWS, the first full-service provider of rentable temporary wall containment systems for commercial renovation. Through the partnership, Abatement Technologies is TWS’ preferred vendor for modular containment wall systems.

TWS can offer its renters greater accessibility to quality temporary solutions for construction containment. The key product in this partnership is Abatement’s SHIELD WALL™ Core panels, a flagship modular containment wall designed for modern real-wall appearance and sound attenuation.
sustainable, cost-effective solutions
“Contractors can spend a lot of time and money building temporary containment walls with single-use materials to keep dust and other potentially harmful particulates from leaving construction areas,” said Andrew Harber, CEO, of Abatement Technologies.
He adds, “The construction industry needs more sustainable, cost-effective solutions for containment, like our SHIELD WALL™ system. In 2024 and beyond, we’re excited to continue to enhance this product for wider users in a wide variety of construction applications.”
versatility of the SHIELD WALL™
Notably, Abatement Technologies made headlines throughout the year for two significant customer success stories, highlighting the versatility of the SHIELD WALL™ system:
- When LEMOINE, a large commercial construction company, took on a 5-year project renovating a Louisiana hospital, the company utilized SHIELD WALL™ temporary walls to keep the hospital operational while effectively keeping patients safe throughout the duration of the renovations.
- Century Building Materials, a subsidiary of Atlanta-based Batson-Cook Company, now captures the rental market with Abatement Technologies’ reliable indoor air quality products. From SHIELD WALL™ to portable air scrubbers, negative air machines, monitoring equipment, and PPE-Century Building Materials is equipped to provide contractors with a complete containment solution, thanks to Abatement Technologies’ one-stop-shop business model.
best practices
In addition to customer success stories, Abatement Technologies shared best practices for controlling, containing, and remediating indoor mold growth in its white paper, 'Mold & Indoor Air Quality'. The guide was designed to offer expertise in the key equipment for removing harmful mold spores and particulates from the air, including reusable containment barrier walls and HEPA filtration systems.
In early 2024, Abatement Technologies will be launching a new brand aligned with the company’s mission as the pioneer in clean air.
