Asbestos Refurbishment Survey

Request a quote for a refurbishment asbestos survey online.

Description

This survey is used to locate and identify, as far as is reasonably practicable, all the ACMs in the building and will invariably involve aggressive destructive inspection by its very nature. The survey is designed to be used as a basis for tendering the removal of ACMs from the building prior to demolition, conversion, or renovation.

This survey does not assess the occupant risk of exposure (priority assessment) to asbestos as it presumes it will be removed. As in a management survey, samples are collected and analyzed for the presence of asbestos. This survey will require destructive testing and inspection of building fabric and areas. Special access equipment may be required for full access to the building.

A refurbishment survey will assess the condition of any ACM and will contain an algorithm to assist in the consideration of the material risk, this identifies the high-risk materials but does not assess the actual risk to building occupants.

Our surveys also include a draft risk assessment of the material taking into account its location and the activities in that location. This can form the basis of a future asbestos management program.
