Asbestos surveys and removal management
Did you know that there are over 3500 different materials that can contain asbestos? You probably know of a few of these, but more than ten? Twenty maybe? Being able to recognise those materials that may contain asbestos is the work of specialists.
The work of specialists
Experts with the knowledge, experience and research capabilities required to correctly assess whether or not a certain material contains asbestos. Little wonder then that many builders, local authorities, property owners, utility firms and the industry as a whole often call in the experts when faced with problems relating to materials containing asbestos.
SGS Search has been the market leader in asbestos surveying and reconstruction projects for many years now. Our researchers and advisers are experts when it comes to the risks associated with asbestos. They can advise you as to whether asbestos needs to be removed from a particular building or can be left intact, providing, of course that no disintegration of that asbestos occurs. They are used to working on the removal of asbestos in a skilful and professional manner on a daily basis. Besides asbestos, we offer several services around ceramic fibers.
