The project is unique in that as well as asbestos insulating board being present in various locations, asbestos containing clinker concrete/mortar is present throughout the building within solid and partition walls, columns/beams, window frames, structural ceiling soffits/floor slabs. This means that when undertaking any intrusive activities, the work must be supported with an enclosure built around the area as if asbestos is present it will almost certainly be deemed as licensable work.

The resource demand for the project represents a significant challenge in that full-time analytical support from multiple analysts are required to support the two licensed asbestos removal contractors in the removal and handling of the clinker concrete/mortar. In addition, with multiple analytical teams working onsite, progress and quality control can be affected if not addressed with a clear and consistent approach.
