We were recently appointed by a renowned travel catering company to safely remove asbestos insulating board above a suspended ceiling at their depot, based in Central Station in Newcastle Upon Tyne. We prepared a plan detailing each stage of the asbestos removal process. This plan was evaluated by the catering company’s health and safety team, and following approval, in September we carried out asbestos removal works under Fully Controlled Conditions.
Our long-term client, the Scottish Borders Council, recently appointed the Henderson Environmental team to conduct an asbestos removal service on an out-of-service lift at Hawick Town Hall. There were two main aspects to this job. The initial step in the process was to complete asbestos encapsulation. Asbestos encapsulation is the technique of covering or containing asbestos containing materials (ACMs) in order to prevent the release of harmful fibres into the air.
One of our long-term clients was concerned about the presence of ACMs in their pharmaceutical facility and required our team to check the pipework for asbestos. Asbestos was identified within the pipe lagging and our removal experts safely removed and disposed of contaminated materials. This process ensured tradespeople could get to work altering the pipe system within the facility without the risk of coming into contact with ACMs.
We were contacted by the estate’s department at a local hospital with concerns about the safety of the premises and the risk of asbestos fibres being released. Our team were required to conduct an environmental clean of the hospital to ensure the ceiling voids within the premises were decontaminated and asbestos-free. The hospital is now safe for staff, visitors, and patients and poses no risk to the health of those within the building.
After a local swimming pool was subject to an arson attack, there was a risk that dangerous asbestos fibres may be released. Our specialist team were tasked with conducting a localised clean under semi-controlled conditions on the premises to remove any asbestos debris and the removal of the asbestos roof tiles which had become dangerous. The site is now undergoing a major refurbishment of the swimming pool.
