AMS‘s asbestos analysts are on site at Wilton on Teeside assisting with the preparations to decommission the Croda chemical plant.
Forest Environmental are removing the asbestos from the plant to enable KDC Demolition to dismantle the plant. The AMS analysts job is to carry out air monitoring work to ensure that all of the asbestos is removed by using special air pumps that draw air over a membrane that can be examined under a microscope to ensure that the fibre count is below the stringent levels set by the HSE.
Stewart McNicholl, Managing Director of AMS, commented “Working on such a high profile site is great for our company. We are very experienced in carrying out asbestos analytical work, but projects as big as this are few and far between. It’s a fantastic challenge for all concerned, but with the companies working at the top of their games, things are going very smoothly.”
AMS, which has bases in Cramlington and Wigan, has years of experience in providing asbestos management services to protect the North of England from the possibility of asbestos contamination. Russell Exley, Commercial Manager of AMS, says, “From providing the the initial asbestos surveys for our clients to produce their asbestos management plan so that they remain compliant with HSE Regulations through to running UKATA approved Asbestos Awareness Training to make sure that trades people don’t expose themselves, their colleagues and the public to asbestos fibres, AMS has turnkey solutions for anyone who is the asbestos dutyholder.”
He continued, “Our consultative, client centricand highly professional approach to ensuring that our clients are kept compliant and, more importantly, safe, is the defining feature of our consultancy. Above all, we are here for that reason alone and that is why we have such loyal clients.”
