ASBESTOS in soils removal
We are equipped and licensed to excavate and remove Non-licensable Asbestos in soils. We’ll sample and test the soils to determine the type and volume of asbestos present then remove all contaminated soils from site.
SAMPLE, TEST, ANALYSE, REMOVE.
When Asbestos is suspected our qualified Asbestos team can quickly be on site to set up a quarantine zone to contain the contaminated area for you. We’ll sample, test and analyse the soils to provide a full report and quotation for removal of all contaminated waste including decontamination materials, leaving your site clean and clear,
manual REMOVAL OF ASBESTOS IN SOILS
If Non-Licensable asbestos is suspected or found on your site we are fully insured, qualified and experienced to provide a remediation solution for you. This involves where possible by means of manually picking Asbestos Containing Materials (ACMs) from the soils to reduce the contamination of asbestos to non-hazardous levels in turn reducing remediation costs for our clients. We dispose of the created waste streams accordingly.
Best practices are adhered to in accordance to Control of Asbestos Regulation 2012 (CAR 2012) and the Approved Code of Practice (ACOP).
excavation OF ASBESTOS in soils
Excavation is the best method for complete removal of Asbestos contaminated soil, and will often be planned in after manual extraction to ensure that all contaminated ground is removed in a controlled and compliant way. Our teams are highly experienced and will guide you through our process before works begin.
After the soils have been removed you will receive a full report on the project outcome including volume of Asbestos materials extracted and volume of soils carted away.
LICENSED DISPOSAL OF contaminated ground waste
Waste materials are deemed hazardous waste and are required to not only be removed from site by a suitable licensed contractor such as Environment Controls, but can only be taken to a landfill licensed to receive it. Our rigorous control of access and decontamination zones, including plant and machinery provides further contamination control.
All contaminated and hazardous wastes are removed by us, leaving your site clean and clear, for the new intended purpose. We provide a works verification report on completion, including a full waste tracking record.
control & safety MEASURES
When Asbestos is found on site the project must come to a stop. We will ensure site safety with controlled access zones and decontamination areas set up to service the quarantined zone. We will work closely with you to establish a safe and workable solution, agreeing the key points and milestones ahead of work commencing. We know how important it is to give you peace of mind that the risks are being controlled with a fully documented method of work and full risk assessments, site specific and tailored to you.
All field operatives follow the ACOP to ensure our processes and systems not only allow us to work effectively and efficiency but also provide our customers with the best level of service and care.
biosecurity measures
Bio-security protocols are primarily a practice we undertake to prevent the unwanted spread of hazardous waste including Asbestos. Simple check protocols such as ‘stop-clean-dry’ will help prevent spread of particles between sites.
Planned working activities when working to remove Asbestos waste help to ensure no accidental spread occurs. Clean site protocols ensure correct and thorough decontamination of equipment, clothing and PPE and a clean, safe site on completion. We carry these practices into all other work we undertake as well as asbestos removal.
WHAT IS ASBESTOS?
Asbestos is the name for a group of natural occurring mineral fibres. Due to their strength and heat and chemical resistance asbestos was commonly used in the past in buildings as insulation and fire proofing. It was also used as a component in other building materials. There are three main types of asbestos:
- chrysotile (white asbestos)
- amosite (brown asbestos)
- crocidolite (blue asbestos)
Asbestos in soils can be fibres or larger pieces of solid material that contains asbestos such as piping, floor or roof tiles or insulation. Asbestos can also be found on building materials that have been sprayed with asbestos coating.

client testimonial
Here’s what one of our clients had to say after we completed asbestos removal as part of a Japanese knotweed removal contract:
“Since working with the team onsite it was clear that not just the right company, but the right people were on the job.Choosing the right contractor is vital for any project. To have a company where every point of contact and every step of the way has been a well-oiled machine and has been a pleasant experience, gets 100% on all scores. Every team member has been a nice person to work with. They keep a calm head and treat everyone with the utmost of respect.”
