As part of the Local Authority’s asbestos management plan the decision was taken to remove asbestos-containing materials from residential units throughout the estate and Decontaminate were duly appointed. The cladding and panelling were typically located on risers within kitchen and hallway areas which meant that residents needed to be decanted from their properties during the works.
The asbestos was carefully removed within the confines of a full enclosure to enable safe re-occupation by the residents upon completion of the work.
Project constraints
