Case Study 1:Floor Tile Removal at a Norwich Primary School

Project Highlights:

  • Removal of 850 square meters of asbestos-containing vinyl floor tiles.
  • Containment zones were established to ensure safety during school hours.
  • Air quality monitoring throughout the project to guarantee compliance with regulatory standards.

Details:
A local primary school required the removal of old asbestos-containing floor tiles during a planned refurbishment. Our team established a sealed containment area, using negative air pressure systems to prevent contamination. The tiles and adhesive were carefully removed and safely disposed of at a licensed waste facility. The project was completed within three weeks, allowing refurbishment to proceed on schedule.

Case Study 2: Asbestos Water Tank Removal in a Residential Apartment Block

Project Highlights:

  • Decommissioning and removal of 25+ asbestos cement water tanks.
  • Safe dismantling from hard-to-access loft spaces.
  • Disposal of tanks at an approved hazardous waste facility.

Details:
A residential apartment complex in Norwich required the removal of outdated water tanks made from asbestos cement. The project involved accessing confined loft spaces, which necessitated customized scaffolding and safe handling protocols. Each tank was wrapped, labeled, and transported to a certified disposal site, ensuring minimal disruption to residents.

Case Study 3: Garage Roof Replacement in Suburban Norwich

Project Highlights:

  • Removal of 120 square meters of corrugated asbestos cement roofing.
  • Temporary roof structures installed to protect contents during removal.
  • Replacement with a non-hazardous modern roofing solution.

Details:
A homeowner approached us to replace their garage roof, which was constructed with asbestos cement sheets. Our team used specialized cutting and containment techniques to prevent dust release. After removal, the materials were safely disposed of, and a new lightweight steel roof was installed.

Case Study 4: Asbestos Lagging Abatement in an Industrial Facility

Project Highlights:

  • Removal of friable asbestos pipe lagging across 500 meters of piping.
  • Use of full containment zones with negative pressure units.
  • Decontamination and thorough cleaning of affected areas.

Details:
A large industrial site in Norwich required asbestos lagging to be removed from aging steam pipes. Due to the friable nature of the material, the project demanded full containment and rigorous safety protocols. All waste was carefully bagged, sealed, and disposed of in compliance with environmental regulations.

Case Study 5: Storm Water Tank Asbestos Remediation in a Local Park

Project Highlights:

  • Decontamination and removal of asbestos cement lining from a storm water storage tank.
  • Safe handling of residual sludge contaminated with hazardous materials.
  • Restoration of the tank for continued public use.

Details:
A storm water storage tank in a public park contained deteriorating asbestos cement linings. Our team drained and cleaned the tank before carefully removing the hazardous materials. The surrounding area was cordoned off during the process, and all asbestos waste was transported to a certified disposal site. The tank was restored and returned to service within two weeks.

Case Study 6: Residential Boiler Room Asbestos Insulation Removal

Project Highlights:

  • Removal of friable asbestos insulation from an old residential boiler system.
  • Full decontamination of the boiler room, including HEPA vacuuming.
  • Replacement of insulation with a modern, non-hazardous alternative.

Details:
A historic home in Norwich required asbestos abatement in its boiler room during an upgrade to a modern heating system. The old insulation posed a significant health risk due to its friable nature. Our team worked in tight conditions to remove the insulation while maintaining safety protocols. Post-abatement air testing confirmed the site was safe for further renovations.
