Challenge
SLR provided supervision of a major asbestos remediation and validation project for the extension of Stephenson Avenue in Osbourne Park, Western Australia. The project involved hand picking to remove fly tipped asbestos containing material and surface clearance inspections in accordance with the project Remediation Action Plan.
Solution
The team provided asbestos fibre and dust monitoring and technical advice to the civil contractor completing the works. The potential current and future risks to human health and/or the environment from asbestos in soils was mitigated by our experts.
Our team supervised and managed the removal of approximately 500kg of asbestos containing material sheeting from the site to enable the construction of the road alignment. Daily air monitoring results were below the detection limits and asbestos impacted soils and Asbestos Containing Material (ACM) fragments were successfully disposed offsite to a Department of Water and Environmental Regulation licenced landfill facility.
