As part of a Asbestos Management Strategy total removal
of the hazardous material may not be the best solution.
Many reasons exist for this such as environmental concerns
or the location of the material to be managed and as
a result Asbestos Encapsulation may be the preferred
method.
The concept behind Asbestos Encapsulation is that the hazardous Asbestos Fibres are contained at the location/building without the need to completely remove and safely dispose of these materials. Concerns have been voiced that removing Asbestos Containing Building Material (ACM) is an extremely high risk process that can only be undertaken by qualified removal experts, who are accredited for not only removal but also disposal. At a very high cost.
Asbestos Encapsulation: The treatment of an Asbestos
Containing Building Material
(ACM) with a material that
surrounds or embeds asbestos fibres in an adhesive matrix
to prevent the release of fibres, as the encapsulant
creates a membrane over the
surface (bridging encapsulant)
or penetrates the material and binds its components together
(penetrating encapsulant).
There are a variety of products currently on the market to encapsulate asbestos fibres and Midland Asbestos Survey Services can help you. For consultation and advice regarding this as part of a total Asbestos Management survey please call us today.
