Type 3 Asbestos Survey:
Full Access
Sampling and Identification Survey
(Pre-Demolition/Major Refurbishment
Surveys)
The type 3
asbestos survey is used to locate and describe,
as far as reasonably practicable, all ACMS in the
building and may involve destructive inspection, as
necessary, to gain access to all areas, including
those that may be difficult to reach.
A full sampling
programme is undertaken to identify possible ACMs and
estimates of the volume and surface areas of ACMs
made.
The survey is
designed to be used as a basis for tendering the
removal of ACMs from the building prior to demolition
or major refurbishment. Therefore, the survey does
not assess the condition of the asbestos, other than
to note areas of damage or where additional asbestos
debris may be expected to be present.
From the
information taken from the Asbestos Survey a
priority would be given to the action required
for any asbestos containing materials
found.
