You don’t need to look to an alternative company to help with your asbestos-contaminated land, soil, or waste in Liverpool
As is the case for other parts of the UK, the Liverpool area is home to various sites and buildings where a certain level of risk might be presented by asbestos.
This naturally occurring, but now-banned fibrous silicate mineral may have ended up in the ground at a site for which you are responsible, perhaps due to past demolition work or waste disposal operations at that location. Any such asbestos will need to be managed in line with the UK’s stringent legislation, and in ways that minimise the potential risks to health.
Whether you already know that your soil or construction waste contains asbestos fibres – and you are therefore seeking to responsibly manage it – or you still need to confirm whether this is the case, Oracle Solutions can serve as a true “one-stop shop” for dealing with this issue.
Our specialised services – encompassing asbestos in soil testing, WAC testing, and the removal of asbestos-contaminated land or soil – will enable you to ensure compliance and safety.
The asbestos contamination of land in Liverpool can bring major risks and challenges
More than a generation has now passed since all forms of asbestos were banned in the UK, in late 1999. However, asbestos – with the risks it can present of exposed individuals potentially going on to develop fatal health conditions such as mesothelioma or asbestos-related lung cancer – is sadly not a merely “historical” concern in Liverpool.
After all, this magnificent Merseyside city – distinguished by legendary architectural landmarks encompassing the likes of the Royal Albert Dock, Liverpool Cathedral, and the Cavern Club – has been subject to drastic change in its cityscape over the past century alone.
As older buildings have been demolished and new ones have been erected through the years, in some instances, asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) from levelled structures might have found their way into the ground. This is a risk that you will need to be vigilant in managing, if you are responsible for certain land or soil in which asbestos could potentially be embedded.
Both “greenfield” and “brownfield” sites can be at risk of asbestos contamination, due to the wide range of ways in which such contamination can arise. So, we would strongly advise you to be alert to this possibility, and to manage your land or soil accordingly.

Liverpool asbestos contaminated land and soil: a few vital things to know
There are certain questions about the management of asbestos-contaminated land or construction waste that we tend to receive more frequently than others. So, we have laid out some answers to these particularly common queries below. If you have any other questions for us on this topic, please don’t hesitate to enquire to us directly.
So, you suspect the asbestos contamination of your soil or waste – what should your first step be?
Typically, if you believe there may be asbestos in your land, soil, or construction waste, your first priority should be determining whether asbestos is, indeed, present. Alongside this, you will need to establish such details as the quantity of any asbestos present, as well as the specific asbestos type(s), and the depths to which the mineral exists in the land or soil.
A full asbestos contaminated land survey will enable you to uncover this information. However, by speaking to our experts at Oracle Solutions first, you can ensure you take the steps that are appropriate and effective for your own site.
What is the investigation process for suspected asbestos-contaminated soil or land?
There are two different types of site investigation that our asbestos consultants carry out here at Oracle Solutions: asbestos in soil testing and WAC testing.
In the case of some sites, there might be a need for deeper investigation, encompassing the digging of trenches, boreholes, or trial pits. If this is the situation at your land or soil in Liverpool, you can rest assured of our skill, experience, and track record of undertaking such operations to the highest standards.
These processes will allow us to capture a good-quality sample, which will then be sent to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for analysis.
Is it automatically necessary for asbestos to be removed from contaminated land, soil, or waste?
In the majority of cases, the natural next step after asbestos is discovered in land, soil, or waste, will be arranging for the substance to be safely removed. However, there can also sometimes be circumstances in which the decision is made to leave contaminated soil in situ, albeit possibly with a clean cover system in place to guard against the risk of future disturbance.
Much will depend on the risk assessment, which is a vital component when it comes to managing asbestos-contaminated land or soil. A conclusion might be made from this process, for example, that the risks necessitate urgent asbestos remediation work being carried out.
Whatever the situation is at your land or soil in or close to Liverpool, we would urge you to contact the Oracle Solutions team first, so that you can receive tailored advice and guidance. It is a quick and easy process to call or email us, at which point, you can request a fast and free asbestos quote.
