Case Study: Emergency Asbestos Removal Following Catastrophic Explosion in Central London

The Challenge:

On a Thursday evening, disaster struck in the heart of Central London. A massive explosion tore through the industrial site of a globally recognised utility company, sending shockwaves across the city. Emergency services rushed to the scene as smoke billowed into the sky, and concern grew as our clients’ minds went to – asbestos contamination.

The situation was critical. Lives were at stake, and the client, a long-standing partner of Oracle Solutions, was at a loss. Unsure of where to turn, they reached out to Oracle Asbestos Solutions.
