Asbestos – we offer three types of asbestos survey
Type 1: Asbestos and Assessment Survey
This presumptive survey is designed to locate the presence and extent of any suspect ACM’s in a given building where practicable. We visually inspect the building to identify materials that may contain asbestos and supply a clear outline of our findings. Sampling and anaysis can be defered for another time.
Type 2: Standard Sampling, Identification and Assessment Survey
This survey takes all the consituent elements of type 1 except that representative samples are taken and analysed for the presence of asbestos. The subsequent report issued includes an outline of ACM’s found and recommendations regarding their management.
Type 3: Full Access Sampling and Identification Survey
This survey takes all the constituent elements of types 1 and 2 but adds destructive testing where appropriate, and access to all areas including areas where accessibility is difficult to reach. A full sampling programme is undertaken to ascertain the full extent of ACM’s and calculations are made to establish the volume and surface area of it. This survey is designed to be used as the basis for a tender enquiry prior to demolition or major refurbishment work.
Our asbestos surveys cover each type of survey outlined above and include a full written report including:
An itemised list of ACM’s
Digital photographs
Site plans indicating sampling points
