Precision Environmental was engaged to carry out asbestos sampling at a commercial property located on Glass Street in Essendon, Victoria. The client was preparing for potential works and required confirmation on whether any asbestos-containing materials were present within the building.
Our team attended site and carried out a full walkthrough of the property, identifying multiple materials that required testing. This included vinyl flooring in the main shop area, material beneath the vinyl, and wall linings within the toilet and back toilet areas.
Samples were safely collected in accordance with Australian Standards and submitted to a NATA-accredited laboratory for analysis.
All results returned no asbestos detected, giving the client full confidence to proceed with future works without the need for asbestos removal.
