Jurassic Asbestos Services Ltd were appointed to undertake the licensed removal and disposal of asbestos insulating board (AIB) at Exeter Racecourse, one of Britain's oldest racecourses. With horse racing dating back to the 17th century.
Located on Haldon Hill, just outside Exeter the project involved the licensed removal of suspended ceiling tiles and ceiling grid, together with asbestos insulating board (AIB) debris. Following the safe removal our team encapsulated the accessible AIB boxing, firebreaks and ceiling surfaces to safely manage the remaining asbestos-containing materials. As part of the project, we also undertook the licensed removal and disposal of asbestos insulating board ceiling panels, with all works completed under fully controlled conditions.
Due to the nature of the materials involved, all works were completed within a purpose-built enclosure maintained under negative pressure. The enclosure incorporated a three-stage airlock, three-stage baglock, CCTV monitoring, negative pressure units and dedicated waste routes to ensure the highest standards of safety throughout the project.
All asbestos insulating board was removed using licensed techniques, including controlled wetting methods, shadow vacuuming and careful manual removal to minimise fibre release. Following removal, all accessible asbestos insulating board remaining within the ceiling void was thoroughly cleaned before being encapsulated using ET-150, providing long-term protection and allowing the refurbishment works to progress safely.
This project demonstrates Jurassic Asbestos Services' expertise in delivering complex licensed asbestos removal and encapsulation projects within commercial environments. By combining safe asbestos removal with effective encapsulation techniques, we were able to help our client safely manage asbestos risks while keeping their refurbishment programme on schedule.
