Land, soil, or waste in Newcastle can easily become contaminated with asbestos

The Newcastle and wider North East areas of England are arguably among the most underrated parts of the UK for both work and play. The region is distinguished by all manner of instantly recognisable landmarks such as Tyne Bridge, Newcastle Castle, the Angel of the North, Durham Cathedral, and the Tees Transporter Bridge, which – considered together – tell the story of the region’s fascinating and varied past.

However, this also brings us onto another aspect of the region’s past: the formerly widespread use of asbestos. During the bulk of the 20th century prior to the substance being banned in the UK in late 1999, asbestos was routinely used in the manufacture of such products as asbestos cement roof sheets, sprayed coatings, cladding, and loose fill insulation.

In common with the situation across other UK regions, the urban landscape of North East England has been subject to constant change throughout the generations, with old buildings being demolished, and new structures being erected. In the process, there have been many instances of properties being levelled with asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) still inside. This, in turn, has often led to the underlying soil or land becoming contaminated with asbestos.

It is also true, though, that asbestos contamination isn’t merely an issue on “brownfield” sites. At “greenfield” locations where waste disposal processes may have taken place over the years, asbestos fibres might conceivably be found. So, if you have responsibility for a particular North East England building or site, whether greenfield or brownfield, you will need to be alert to such asbestos contamination risks.

Our experts can assist your efforts to manage asbestos-contaminated land

When it comes to instances of land, soil, or construction waste where asbestos fibres may be present, every case will inevitably be different to the next.

You might require little more than a simple asbestos litter pick to be carried out at your site in or near Newcastle. Alternatively, you may have multiple thousands of tonnes of asbestos-contaminated soil that you need to dispose of in a safe and legally compliant way.

Beginning with the initial investigations, and continuing right through to remediation work or disposal of asbestos waste, you can expect the complete package of well-targeted support.

Vital things to know when it comes to asbestos-contaminated land in North East England

Below are some of the questions we most frequently receive about land, soil, or waste that may have become contaminated with asbestos. To receive answers to any other queries that you might have before committing to using our services, please contact our experts directly.

If you believe asbestos may be present in soil for which you are responsible, what should you do first?

In the event that you suspect the existence of asbestos fibres in your soil, land, or waste, it will be necessary to confirm whether this is actually the case.

Arranging to have a full asbestos contaminated land survey undertaken at your site will allow you to find out information about the exact asbestos situation. It will enable you to determine not only whether asbestos is present, but also such other details as how deeply the fibres are embedded in the ground, and what type(s) of asbestos exist there.

What is the investigation process for suspected asbestos-contaminated land or soil?

There are two different types of site investigations for asbestos-contaminated land that we carry out here at Oracle Solutions: WAC testing and asbestos in soil testing.

In some cases that we encounter, it becomes obvious that deeper investigation of the given site is necessary. We are accustomed in such situations to the digging of trenches, boreholes, and trial pits. This puts us in a position to capture the best samples, which are then sent to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for analysis.

How essential is it to have asbestos removed from contaminated land, soil, or waste?

In truth, there can be instances in which it is determined that asbestos doesn’t actually need to be removed from the contaminated land or soil. In situations like these, the decision might be made to implement a clean cover system, to help ensure the asbestos is not disturbed in the future.

Having said all the above, in the majority of cases, our professionals’ discovery of asbestos in particular soil, land, or waste, will be followed by arrangements to have the now-banned substance safely removed.

Ultimately, it will be the risk assessment – a vital component of the management of asbestos-contaminated land or soil – that will enable you to make the best possible decision. It might be the case on your own site that unacceptable risks exist, thereby making some form of asbestos remediation work essential.

To reiterate: no situation is exactly the same as the next when it comes to asbestos-contaminated land, soil, or waste in Newcastle or elsewhere in the North East. So, to make sure you receive the optimal advice and support for your own location or premises, please give us a call or send us an email at Oracle Solutions today.
