Asbestos Land Decontamination

One of the increased problems we are encountering is the immediate remediation of asbestos in soils. The demolition of historic buildings along with inadequate waste management practises have both led to many sites being contaminated with asbestos. Typical asbestos containing materials, ACMs found within such sites include asbestos cement products, asbestos insulation debris and asbestos insulation board. We work with clients to identify the most suitable land remediation methods for their sites which may consist of excavation or mechanical screening of asbestos contaminated material. Where possible we will separate ACMs from the affected soil to reduce the volume of waste being disposed of at landfill. During the land remediation process routine background air test are completed to ensure that asbestos fibre exposure levels are not exceeded. Our work includes: Identification of suitable land remediation measures. Segregation and safe disposal of hazardous materials. Careful monitoring to ensure asbestos fibre exposure level is not exceeded. Ensuring compliance with legislative and environmental requirements.
