The problem of asbestos contaminated land in Southampton
There is a wide range of wonderful things about the Hampshire port city of Southampton, from its proud maritime heritage and a captivating arts scene to its cultural diversity and the abundance of things for locals and visitors to see and do.
Southampton has certainly seen a huge amount of change in its history. However, this brings us onto another important point: in common with the situation in other parts of the UK, the Southampton area has various sites where potentially dangerous asbestos fibres may be present in the soil.
Asbestos was banned in the UK in 1999, but for the bulk of the 20th century, it was an extremely widely used construction material. Unfortunately, then, on some brownfield sites where buildings containing asbestos were once present only to have later been demolished with asbestos still inside, elements of the material may have easily ended up in the ground.
Additional to this, it is important to bear in mind that even “greenfield” sites can be contaminated with asbestos – for example, if waste disposal activities have taken place at the site in the past. So, it is crucial for site managers and other key stakeholders to be vigilant about the risk of asbestos contamination across any of a wide range of sites in or near Southampton.

Southampton asbestos contaminated land and soil: the essentials to know
Check out our list below of some of the most frequently asked questions about asbestos contaminated land and soil. If you are still unsure about any aspect of asbestos or would like to request a quote for any of our services, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us.
What should your first step be if you suspect asbestos contamination of your land, soil, or construction waste?
If you believe that your construction waste, land, or soil in or near Southampton may have become contaminated with asbestos, you will first need to confirm whether asbestos is, indeed, present.
If asbestos does turn out to be present, you will need to gather information on the quantity of the asbestos, as well as how deeply it is embedded in the land, soil, or waste, and what type(s) of asbestos are present. We recommend that in order to find out this information, you arrange to have a full asbestos contamination land survey performed.
How is suspected asbestos-contaminated land or soil investigated?
Here at Oracle Solutions, our well-trained and seasoned asbestos consultants undertake two different types of site investigations for asbestos-contaminated land: WAC testing and asbestos in soil testing.
If it becomes apparent that deeper investigation of your site is required, we can dig trenches, boreholes, or trial pits. Once samples are taken, they will be analysed at a UKAS-accredited laboratory.
Is it always necessary to remove asbestos from contaminated land, soil, or waste?
In most cases, if asbestos contamination is found, the next step will be to arrange for the lethal substance’s safe removal. However, soil being confirmed to be contaminated with asbestos does not automatically mean the asbestos will definitely need to be removed.
A key element of managing asbestos-contaminated land or soil is the undertaking of a risk assessment. It might become apparent from this process that contaminated soil can remain in situ, possibly with a clean cover system put in place to help prevent the asbestos from being disturbed in the future.
Alternatively, a conclusion may be made from the risk assessment that unacceptable risks exist on the site. This might render it necessary for some form of asbestos remediation work to be undertaken.
Whatever the exact situation is at your site in or near Southampton, we would urge you to always speak to our experts at Oracle Solutions first. This will enable us to provide the tailored advice and guidance that will be essential to making sure you take the right steps. Call or email us now to ask for a free and fast asbestos quote.
