-
Asbestos-contaminated soil is commonly found on brownfield and redevelopment sites due to historic construction, demolition, or industrial activity. Buried asbestos-containing materials can remain undetected for decades, only becoming a risk when disturbed during excavation or earthworks.
Avanta Waste Solutions supports contaminated land projects by ensuring asbestos-contaminated soils are correctly identified, classified, and disposed of in full compliance with regulations.
-
When disturbed, asbestos fibres can become airborne and pose serious health risks. Activities such as excavation, piling, drainage works, and bulk earthworks can all create exposure pathways.
If not properly managed, asbestos contamination can lead to:
Project delays
Increased remediation costs
Health and safety breaches
Regulatory enforcement action
Early identification and correct waste classification are essential.
-
Understanding what is in the ground is key to managing asbestos-contaminated land.
Avanta supports soil and Waste Acceptance Criteria (WAC) sampling, delivered directly or in coordination with environmental consultants and UKAS-accredited laboratories.
This helps to:
Identify asbestos presence and concentrations
Classify soils correctly for disposal
Determine the most suitable disposal route
Avoid over-classification and unnecessary cost
