A residential property in Kempsey suffered a catastrophic fire that extensively damaged the dwelling. Following assessment by hazmat consultants EHO, it was determined that many of the asbestos linings within the structure had been severely degraded by heat and were classified as friable asbestos.

As an experienced national Class A asbestos removalist and demolition contractor, RARE Environmental was engaged by EHO under the insurance claim process to undertake an initial asbestos make safe, followed by the complete demolition of the dwelling to ground level under controlled conditions.

• Coordination with local waste facilities for the safe transport and disposal of asbestos-contaminated demolition material.
• Progressive load-out and transport of asbestos waste under EPA consignment tracking.
