Asbestos Impacted Site Inspection
From undertaking initial soil sampling, to qualitative and quantitative analysis, agreeing a remedial strategy and plan of work through to implementing remediation, B&A’s team of trained, competent staff and supply chain can manage the challenge of asbestos in soil contamination and enable the safe and sustainable redevelopment of your brownfield site.
Safe, accredited asbestos removal
It is estimated that 85% of brownfield sites have asbestos / ACM as a key contaminant in the soil which presents a challenge for the sites’ redevelopment, for the safety of those involved in the construction process and for those using the land in the future.
Asbestos can be ingrained in soil due to previous demolition activities or historical land raise where impacted materials have been imported.
B&A is a corporate member of CL:AIRE and undertakes brownfield assessment and asbestos remediation in accordance with the Control of Asbestos Regulations (CAR-SOILTM).
