As a growing hotel chain, our client has acquired multiple assets both nationally and internationally with a variety of build types. Many of our clients buildings were constructed between the 1950s and 1985 and pose the highest risk due to the presence of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). Asbestos can be found in various forms, including pipe lagging, sprayed asbestos, asbestos-insulating boards, thermal insulation, floor tiles, cement roofing/guttering, and textured coatings.
Removal of asbestos on live sites can present many challenges. Our asbestos remediation project plan needed careful planning and engagement with end users, with work scheduled to be undertaken out of hours to mitigate impact to staff and visitors.
