We attended a residential property at 32 Tarrengower Street, Yarraville to carry out asbestos sampling across external structures on site.
The client was preparing for demolition works and wanted confirmation on whether the existing outbuildings contained asbestos.
Sheds and older ancillary structures are one of the most common locations where asbestos is found, particularly in older suburbs like Yarraville.
All samples were collected safely and submitted to a NATA accredited laboratory for testing.
Laboratory Results
The results returned a mix of positive and negative findings.
- Shed material tested positive for chrysotile asbestos
- Shed material also tested positive for amosite asbestos
- Bungalow material returned no asbestos detected
This is exactly why sampling is critical before demolition. Without testing, asbestos containing materials can easily be disturbed, creating serious health risks and compliance issues.
Correct identification ensures the right removal process is followed and protects everyone on site.
