At Amiante STR, part of the Collard Group, we provide specialist asbestos removal services for utilities projects across the UK, ensuring safety and compliance in critical infrastructure like water treatment plants, gas networks, and electrical substations. Asbestos, commonly used in utility facilities prior to 2000, remains a significant risk in ageing infrastructure, often found in pipe insulation, roofing, or equipment housing. With our full 3-year HSE licence and extensive experience, we deliver tailored solutions to eliminate asbestos hazards, keeping your utilities operations running smoothly and safely.
Specialist Asbestos Solutions for Utilities Projects
Utilities sites whether: water, gas, or electricity networks, often contain asbestos in hard-to-reach or hazardous areas, such as underground pipelines, live-voltage substations, or remote pumping stations. When asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) are disturbed during maintenance, upgrades, or emergency repairs, they release fibres that can cause serious health issues like asbestosis or mesothelioma, endangering workers and the public. Amiante STR specialises in utilities asbestos removal in the UK, offering precise, efficient services that prioritise safety while meeting the operational demands of utility providers. We ensure your facilities remain compliant with regulations without compromising service delivery.
