In September 2017, Allium Environmental were successful in gaining a place onto the Wessex Water Framework for Asbestos Surveying and Inspection Services.
Part of the requirement of the framework was to undertake refurbishment and demolition surveys to various Wessex Water sites throughout the region.
An essential requirement was that all asbestos surveyors and contractors were to be accredited to ISO17020.
