LONDON ASBESTOS SURVEY by SXD Environmental

LONDON ASBESTOS SURVEY

An asbestos survey is a survey that is conducted inside a building, property, or structure with the goal of locating asbestos-containing materials.

Asbestos fibres can be released into the air when asbestoscontaining materials (ACM) are damaged or "friable," posing a number of known health concerns to building occupants or workers.

Why is it needed? An asbestos survey is a crucial step in determining the presence of asbestos containing products, but it's crucial to have the correct types of asbestos survey. Different types of work necessitate different survey types.

When is it needed? Asbestos survey are commonly required as part of due diligence during commercial real estate transactions or financing, prior to demolition or renovation of buildings, or after suspected damage to buildings during flooding and after significant natural disasters

Types of Asbestos Survey

Asbestos Screening If damaged material that could represent a health concern to building occupants is being fixed, an Asbestos Screening is the best solution. By gathering samples for analysis, an Asbestos Screening evaluates suspected ACM.

Limited Asbestos Survey A Limited Asbestos Survey is a more thorough examination of building components and suspected asbestos-containing products.

Path of Construction Pre-Renovation / Construction Path Asbestos Survey is a thorough examination of building materials, but it is limited to the construction path and/or the actual building materials.

Pre-Demolition Asbestos Survey The most extensive ACM assessment is a Pre-Demolition Asbestos Survey. Using destructive sample techniques, this study examines all aspects of a building, including interior and exterior construction components.
