Asbestos Encapsulation

Encapsulation is a successful option in dealing with asbestos and involves covering the asbestos with a sealant.

Asbestos Containing Materials (ACM), all piping, elbows, boilers and all mechanical insulation covered with ACM and asbestos are HEPA vacuumed and covered with a canvas fire-rated adhesive sealant (encapsulation). Depending on the application, there are a number of types of sealant.

The sealant's function is to enclose and prevent the asbestos fibres from breaking away from the material. In the case of asbestos pipe insulation, elbows or trees, a canvas with a fire retardant lockdown adhesive lagging is applied to cover and provide a hard-shell coating.

Encapsulation requires periodic inspections, quarterly or annually, to monitor the condition of the Asbestos Containing Materials.

Asbestos Surveys

Conducting asbestos surveys will often be our client's first step toward effective asbestos management by identifying any asbestos containing materials located within the affected premises.

Resolve asbestos surveyors hold as a minimum the P402 Proficiency Certificate in 'Building Surveys and Bulk Sampling for asbestos' To accompany this we are UKAS certified for asbestos surveying and inspections.

To suit all requirements we offer different types of asbestos surveys as defined in the HSE Document Method for Determining Hazardous Substances 100 (MDHS100). The type of asbestos survey that you will require will depend upon the task to which the survey will be used.

Types of Survey

TYPE 1 SURVEY	Location and assessment of asbestos	Presumptive asbestos survey
TYPE 2 SURVEY	Sampling, Identification Assessment Asbestos Survey	Sampling Asbestos Surveys
TYPE 3 SURVEY	Full Access / Intrusive Sampling and Identification Asbestos Survey	Pre-demolition or Major Refurbishment Asbestos Surveys

A Type 1 survey is rarely used in today's market as it only highlights all materials suspected of containing asbestos.

A Type 2 asbestos survey usually provides the basis for an asbestos register and subsequent management plan to be established as defined with the duty holder requirements as set out in regulation 4 of the CAR 2006.

A Type 3 asbestos survey will be necessary where areas are undergoing major refurbishment or demolition works.
