AEC offer a range of asbestos in soils services, including inspection, bulk sampling (sample testing via 3rd party UKAS accredited laboratory), surveying, air monitoring and consultancy services.
AEC offers soils sampling and site inspection for asbestos with sample analysis via our approved UKAS accredited partners carrying out up to three stages of testing:
Stage 1: Initial Bulk Analysis
Stage 2: Gravimetric analysis to determine percentage asbestos in soil by weight
Stage 3: Fibre Counting and sizing by phase contrast optical microscopy
We can also test for other contaminants via our approved partners, giving you one point of contact for your soils analysis requirements.
We provide a number of soils services to support you during your construction phases. Working with your preliminary report/findings, we can carry out site surveys and air monitoring and also provide a project manager to work with you to manage/assess the site where asbestos is concerned.
Two-stage approach;
1. Surface assessment for potential asbestos materials on the surface of the land.
2. Working to an agreed method / preliminary report within a gridded plan/trial pits.
