Case studies

Port of Felixstowe

Problem

There was no comprehensive asbestos register for any of the buildings within the three main areas of the port complex.

Solution

As part of a three year contract, we undertook type 2 asbestos surveys to all the port’s buildings. The contract also covered annual reinspections, as part of the active management of the asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) we had located.

Result

The client now has a database containing all information relating to ACMs, in a format that is both easily accessible and understandable. They also know we are on hand to advise and suggest solutions to any problems relating to ACMs, should they occur.

In late 2007, the Port of Felixstowe asked our Survey Department to undertake type 3 surveys to around 30 buildings, as part of their ongoing modernisation programme at the port.
