Asbestos Demolition Surveys
Non-Intrusive Asbestos Surveying and Sampling
If you’re a property owners or site managers, it’s crucial to conduct thorough asbestos management surveys to identify and manage any asbestos-containing materials that may be present in your buildings.
At APS, our asbestos management surveys systematically inspect your property to assess and record the presence and condition of any asbestos-containing materials. These surveys are not intrusive, and create minimal damage to the property or environment.
Purpose of Asbestos Management Surveys
Comprehensive inspection of premises scheduled for demolition
Our team conducts a thorough and intrusive inspection of the entire property to identify asbestos-containing materials before demolition work begins. This involves accessing all areas of the building, including concealed spaces that may not be readily visible. By locating ACMs in hard-to-reach areas, we ensure no hidden risks are left behind, providing a complete picture of the asbestos risk within your property.
Sampling and analysis of suspected asbestos-containing materials
As part of the demolition survey, we carefully collect samples of any materials suspected of containing asbestos. These samples are then sent to accredited laboratories for detailed analysis to confirm the presence and type of asbestos. This process guarantees accurate identification of hazardous materials, enabling us to provide precise and reliable guidance for managing asbestos during demolition.
Detailed reporting with comprehensive findings and recommendations
Following the inspection and sample analysis, we produce a detailed report outlining the findings. This report includes the exact location, type, condition, and extent of all identified asbestos-containing materials. In addition, we offer clear recommendations on how to handle and remove these materials in compliance with current regulations. This document serves as an essential tool for your demolition contractor, ensuring that all asbestos risks are properly managed.
Collaboration with licensed asbestos removal professionals for safe and compliant asbestos management solutions
We work closely with licensed asbestos removal contractors to ensure the safe and compliant removal of asbestos materials prior to demolition. By coordinating with these professionals, we help to create a seamless process that adheres to all health and safety guidelines. This collaboration ensures that all asbestos is handled responsibly, protecting both the environment and anyone involved in the demolition process.
Ongoing support and guidance throughout the demolition process
Our involvement doesn’t end with the survey. We provide ongoing support throughout the demolition process, offering expert advice and guidance to address any asbestos-related concerns that may arise. Our team remains on hand to ensure that every step of the project proceeds smoothly, helping you navigate any challenges and ensuring compliance with all regulatory requirements from start to finish.
How It Works
Our 5-step process
Step 1: Pre-Survey Planning
We’ll review any documentation covering the scope of the planned demolition work, the building's construction history, and any previous asbestos surveys. We’ll also discuss the areas to be surveyed and schedule the survey at a convenient time for you.
Step 2: On-Site Inspection
Our qualified surveyors will conduct a comprehensive inspection of all accessible areas, both internally and externally, where demolition work is planned. Concealed areas, including access panels, ceiling voids and wall cavities, will need to be opened or accessed using appropriate methods to inspect for hidden asbestos-containing materials.
Step 3: Sample Analysis
Samples collected during the survey are analysed by accredited laboratories to determine the presence of asbestos fibres. The results of these analyses inform the survey report and subsequent management actions.
Step 4: Survey Report
We’ll compile the survey findings into a comprehensive report that includes descriptions of identified asbestos-containing materials, laboratory analysis results, risk assessments, and recommendations for management and control.
Step 5: Asbestos Management Plan
Based on the findings of the survey, we’ll also provide you with a tailored asbestos management plan, developed to outline procedures for safely managing asbestos risks during the demolition process.
