Asbestos Removal Ashburton

As discussed, the Ashburton area has an expansive history marked by a rich development including many historical structures found throughout the region. Growth within this area has contributed to a diversity of industries and services, increased labour force and as such, the need for many of the older established buildings requiring renovations.

During refurbishment and redevelopment projects over the years these historical buildings have required professional services such as hazardous remediation to ensure the safe execution of works.

Prior to 1982, asbestos containing materials (ACM) had a variety of uses and was commonly applied in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. As a naturally occurring fibrous mineral, asbestos was a cost efficient and durable option that had application in many products.

As a result, asbestos can still frequently be found today. More specifically, there are three many types of asbestos often found in building materials throughout New Zealand. Crocidolite asbestos (also known as white asbestos), amosite asbestos (also known as brown asbestos), and chrysotile asbestos (also known as blue asbestos). All three types of asbestos are hazardous to health and considered to be carcinogenic.

A non-exhaustive list of products asbestos can be found includes plastics, asphalt, cement, roofing materials, insulation, tiles, gaskets, paints, sealants, etc. Given the array of asbestos uses there is no way of confirming a product contains asbestos without laboratory testing a sample.

ANZ Enviro provides sampling and laboratory testing services for all hazardous materials including contaminated land as well as material samples which are suspected to be asbestos.

All samples are carefully processed at a Nation Association of Testing Authorities (NATA) accredited laboratory and all samples receive a certificate identifying if asbestos fibres are present.

Whilst asbestos is one of the most common issues encountered in historic buildings it isn’t the only problem or hazard encountered.

In many instances, many environmental dangers could potentially be found in heritage buildings, and these must be considered prior to any deconstruction, renovation, or refurbishment projects. In addition to asbestos, lead paint, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), mould, and guano may also be found.
