Consultancy Services for Complex Asbestos Remediation

Project Example: Collaborating with Schools and Universities for Asbestos Compliance

Thames Laboratories has partnered with one of the largest universities in the UK, providing comprehensive asbestos surveying and air monitoring services for various estate-wide projects. We're proud to nurture this client relationship with our team's excellence in clear communication and strict schedule adherence to ensure every project is completed efficiently and safely.

Project-specific Survey Works

In one particular project, we conducted a localised project-specific R&D survey across three areas within a building. To minimise disruption to daily operations, the survey was performed outside of regular working hours. Additionally, we developed risk assessment reports for work on listed buildings, ensuring compliance with stringent regulations. This thorough survey enabled the necessary asbestos removal works to be carried out effectively and safely.

Effective Project Management

Our team facilitated regular weekly meetings with key client and contractor personnel to discuss progress and address any challenges encountered. This consistent communication and detailed project planning were essential to ensure that all work was completed efficiently and successfully. Additionally, we maintained ad hoc interaction with various project teams to address any emerging needs promptly.
