If you're renovating, demolishing, purchasing or managing an older property, an asbestos inspection can help identify suspected asbestos-containing materials before they are disturbed. As experienced asbestos removal specialists in Melbourne, Bison provides professional asbestos inspections for residential, commercial and industrial properties across Melbourne.
Our team can inspect suspected materials, assess their condition and location, arrange testing where required, and provide clear guidance on the appropriate next steps.
Asbestos was used in a wide range of Australian building products and can still be present in many older homes, workplaces and industrial properties.
Potential asbestos-containing materials may be found in areas such as:
An inspection can help identify suspected asbestos-containing materials before renovation, maintenance, demolition or other work causes them to be disturbed.
Asbestos cannot always be reliably identified by appearance alone.
During an inspection, Bison assesses building materials that may contain asbestos, considering their location, condition and likelihood of being disturbed by planned or future works.
Where a material cannot be confidently identified, sampling and laboratory testing can be arranged to determine whether asbestos is present.
Where testing is required, representative samples can be carefully collected using controlled methods and submitted to a NATA-accredited laboratory for analysis.
Laboratory results can confirm whether the sampled material contains asbestos, providing the information needed to determine whether it should be managed in place or removed before works proceed.
Asbestos management in workplaces can involve additional inspection, documentation and ongoing management requirements.
Bison can assist commercial and industrial clients with asbestos audits, identification of asbestos-containing materials and the preparation or updating of asbestos registers where required.
This provides building owners, employers, facility managers and contractors with clearer information about known or suspected asbestos within the workplace and the controls required when work is planned.
Finding asbestos does not necessarily mean it needs to be removed immediately. The appropriate response depends on factors including the condition and location of the material, whether it is likely to be disturbed and what work is planned for the property.
Following the inspection and any required testing, we can explain the findings and recommend appropriate next steps.
Where removal is required, Bison can also manage the asbestos removal, containment, transport and disposal process, providing continuity from initial identification through to remediation.
If you're unsure whether a property contains asbestos or you're planning work that could disturb older building materials, arranging an inspection before work begins can help identify potential issues early.
Bison provides asbestos inspections across Melbourne for homeowners, businesses, builders, property managers and industrial clients.
