To address these issues our Technical Consultants worked closely with the University and Historic Scotland to produce the robust technical specification for the removal work using the findings from our refurbishment survey report, ensuring that control measures were in place for all listed features. We helped the University and the Principal Contractor in tendering for the licensed asbestos removal contractor, providing expert advice and guidance on the process, attending site visits with tenderers to ensure the requirements of the project were understood by tenderers.  

We also provided full time on-site analytical support with one Lead Analyst acting as the University’s main point of contact and managing multiple removal contractor teams on-site. Analytical and supervision activities included;

•  Reviewing the removal contractors’ method statements, risk assessments,
   training records, face fit test results, medicals etc

•  Monitoring and advising the removal contractor on their methods
    and techniques to achieve compliance with the specification,
    appropriate guidance, and agreed standards of work

•  Auditing performance at regular intervals throughout the work to ensure
    compliance with the removal specification

•  Background, leak, personal and reassurance air testing and four-stage
    clearance procedures as per HSG 248 guidance
