Approximately 13,000 m² of asbestos-containing cement (AC) sheet roofing and high-level walls (at ~22 meters height) required removal from a western suburbs warehouse. Specialist access equipment required for secure work at height, for full decontamination of ceilings, walls, and floors. Visual clearance certification required from an independent hygienist.
Complete removal of all identified AC sheets from roof and high-level walls without compromising structural integrity or worker safety.
Thorough decontamination of interior surfaces (ceilings, walls, floors) verified by independent hygienist clearance, ensuring pharmaceutical-grade cleanliness.
Safe handling and disposal of 2 tons bird droppings, addressing combined asbestos and biohazard risks per OHS standards.
Site handed back fully compliant and certified safe, enabling seamless transition to roofing/pharmaceutical operations.
13,000 m² contaminated material abated
20 tonnes hazardous waste disposed of at EPA standards
We followed our structured, methodical process to ensure safe outcomes across this project.
Comprehensive site inspections identify asbestos-containing materials, assess exposure risks and determine the most appropriate removal or abatement strategy.
Affected areas are sealed and controlled to prevent fibre spread, with clear separation from occupied or operational zones.
Asbestos materials are removed using controlled techniques and transported to licensed facilities using EPA-approved disposal methods.
All work areas are thoroughly cleaned and decontaminated, followed by clearance testing and certification to confirm the site is safe for reoccupation.
