THN was engaged to perform asbestos testing after a tradesperson removed some eaves and accidentally dropped them onto the brickwork below, subsequently resuming their work. The combination of muddy ground conditions and continuous foot traffic led to damage of the eave lining, which was later verified to contain asbestos. As a result, asbestos debris became scattered throughout the rubble and was pressed into the soil.
In response to the situation, THN put forward a remediation strategy for the job site, recognizing that cross-contamination had taken place due to the foot traffic.
To address this issue, an exclusion zone was created using our three-stage decontamination unit, black builders' film, temporary fencing, and geotextile fabric to ensure safety and proper containment.
