Asbestos Contaminated Land & Soil in Bristol & South West

Although we are a nationwide provider of accredited and licensed asbestos services here at Oracle Solutions, we also have an office specifically catering to the South West England region, at Harbury Road, Bristol.

So, if you require specialised asbestos solutions such as surveying, air monitoring, training, or removal of the now-banned substance from your site or premises, please contact us.

We have highly trained, capable, and seasoned asbestos operatives on hand who provide their services around the South West – including in Bristol, Bath, Bournemouth, Plymouth, Swindon, and other parts of the locality.

Make Oracle Solutions your ‘first stop’ for help with asbestos contamination of your land, soil, or building waste

There are two broad circumstances in which an individual or organisation typically approaches our experts at Oracle Solutions about asbestos-contaminated land services. Those circumstances are that they suspect asbestos fibres are embedded in the ground and wish to confirm whether this is the case, or they have already obtained such confirmation and are seeking out asbestos management services they can trust.

Whatever the situation is for you and any site in or near Bristol that you are responsible for, it will be of the utmost importance to make sure you are always managing the land, soil, or waste in a safe and legally compliant way.

Through our provision of services like asbestos in soil testing, WAC testing, and the removal of asbestos-contaminated land or soil, we can help ensure the highest levels of such compliance at your site, at every stage of the asbestos management process.

Why is asbestos-contaminated land such a major concern in South West England?

The South West of England has long been one of the UK’s economic and cultural success stories. It certainly presents no shortage of remarkable sights and landmarks, including the likes of Stonehenge, the Clifton Suspension Bridge, Dartmoor, Pulteney Bridge, the Roman Baths in the city of Bath, and many more.

However, the sense of continuity across much of this picturesque English region’s history also makes it easy to overlook just how drastically a lot of the area has transformed through the generations. This brings us onto the subject of asbestos.

Allow us to explain; as older buildings across Bristol and the South West have been levelled down the years, new structures have been erected. But with asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) – such as asbestos cement roof sheets, insulating board, and decorative textured coatings – having been extensively used for much of the 20^th century, there could sometimes be a risk of older structures being demolished with ACMs still left inside.

Situations like this ran the risk of asbestos fibres eventually finding their way into the ground, beyond the awareness of those who managed or went on to use the given site. Any inhalation or ingestion of loose asbestos fibres can heighten the exposed individual’s likelihood of developing a potentially fatal asbestos-related disease in later life.

When the aforementioned dangers are considered alongside the strict legal rules on asbestos management that apply in the UK, it isn’t overly difficult to understand why management services for asbestos contaminated land or construction waste can be so crucial.

Asbestos contamination isn’t even purely an issue for “brownfield” sites, given that it can occur at “greenfield” locations, too. The latter situation might arise if, for example, waste disposal activities took place at the given site in the past.

We can help with every aspect of managing asbestos-contaminated soil in the South West

The task of dealing with land, soil, or construction waste that contains asbestos can often be a complicated one. However, the exact circumstances will also inevitably vary from one site to the next.

You might, for instance, simply be responsible for a domestic garden at which some minor asbestos litter pick work is needed. Alternatively, there may be thousands of tonnes of asbestos-contaminated soil at your location in the South West.

Whatever the specifics may be at your own site, you can expect the same absolute professionalism, efficiency, and dependability from our highly qualified and seasoned operatives.

Beginning with the initial investigations, and continuing through to any remediation or disposal work that may be required, we will work fastidiously to ensure both safety and legal compliance at your site in Bristol, Cheltenham, Exeter, Gloucester, or elsewhere in the region.
