Asbestos Services for the Marine Sector

Expertise in Marine Asbestos Management

The use of asbestos in marine vessels was widespread prior to its ban due to its excellent fire resistance and insulation properties. As a result, asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) can still be found in many vessels and dockyards today. Proper identification, management, and testing are crucial to safeguard workers, crew members, and visitors.

Allium Environmental offers the following services to the marine industry:

1. Asbestos Surveys

We conduct detailed asbestos surveys on marine vessels, in dockyards, and in support facilities. Our team is experienced in working in confined spaces and challenging environments, ensuring thorough inspections in compliance with maritime regulations.

2. Asbestos Management Plans

Our experts develop and implement asbestos management plans tailored to the specific requirements of the marine environment. These plans ensure that ACMs are safely managed, maintained, and monitored.

3. Asbestos Air Testing

To ensure the safety of personnel, we provide air testing services to monitor asbestos fibre levels. This service is essential during maintenance, repairs, or when ACMs have been disturbed.
