Asbestos Survey Services
Asbestos the silent killer
Exposure to asbestos dust kills, don't you owe it to others
CDM Services offer a professional Asbestos Survey service and the type of asbestos survey required will depend on the individual circumstances of the client.
CDM Services can advise you on the type of asbestos survey most appropriate to your needs, of which there are 3 types briefly explained below.
- Type 1 Asbestos Survey
A Type 1 Asbestos Survey is to locate, as far as reasonably practical, any suspected ACMs in the building and assess the risk. All areas must be accessed and inspected (including; above false ceilings and inside dry and wet risers, service ducts etc.) or they will be presumed to contain asbestos.
- Type 2 Asbestos Survey
The purpose and procedures used in a Type 2 Asbestos Survey are very much similar to the Type 1 Asbestos Survey however, with the Type 2 survey, representative discreet samples are taken from suspect asbestos materials and analysed for the presence of asbestos.
- Type 3 Asbestos Survey
A Type 3 Asbestos Survey is used to locate and describe, as far as reasonably practical, all ACMs in the building and involving, if necessary, destruction inspection to gain access to all areas, however difficult to reach.
During this type of asbestos survey, potential ACMs will be identified and an estimate made of their volume and surface area. This type of survey is designed to be used as a basis for tendering the removal of ACMs from the building prior to demolition or major refurbishment.
The Type 3 Asbestos Survey does not assess the condition of the asbestos other than to note areas of damage or where additional asbestos debris could possibly be found.
