Our process

Harbourside Excavations & Demolition conducts an initial visual site assessment to identify the suspected asbestos-containing material (ACM). Not all materials contain asbestos, so having our experienced team onsite will aid to determine which materials contain asbestos before beginning removal. In the majority of cases this will suffice however should further granular testing (such as by a laboratory) be required Harbourside Excavations & Demolition will recommend a specialised licensed asbestos assessor for further assessment and testing.

In Australia, it is illegal to remove more than 10 square meters of asbestos-containing material (ACM) without a license. You should engage a licensed asbestos removalist to remove the ACM safely.
