Before demolition, refurbishment or structural alterations can begin, asbestos-containing materials must be safely identified, managed and removed. DBF Melbourne provides commercial asbestos removal services across Melbourne, coordinating containment measures, controlled removal and compliant waste disposal to help prepare commercial properties for the next stage of work.
Disturbing asbestos-containing materials can release hazardous fibres and place workers, occupants and surrounding properties at risk. Before removal starts, the material, location, condition and proposed building works must be understood. Our team plans the removal around the site conditions and coordinates the required notifications, containment measures and clearance procedures.
Reach out to us about the materials affected by asbestos, and we’ll remove asbestos to prevent health risks and delays once construction begins.
Air monitoring and clearance
Arrange air monitoring and an independent clearance inspection where required by the removal scope. Affected areas must not return to normal use or proceed to the next stage until the applicable clearance requirements have been satisfied.
Isolation and containment
Restrict access to the removal area and install suitable barriers, signage and containment controls. The measures used depend on the type, condition and location of the asbestos-containing material.
Licensed asbestos removal
Remove identified asbestos-containing materials using controlled methods designed to minimise breakage, dust and fibre release. The work is completed by appropriately trained personnel using suitable protective equipment and decontamination procedures.
Removal planning and notification
Develop the required asbestos removal documentation and notify WorkSafe Victoria where applicable. The plan addresses the removal method, work area, access restrictions, protective equipment and procedures for managing an unexpected discovery.
Site information and asbestos identification
Review the property’s asbestos register, existing reports and proposed demolition or refurbishment scope. If the material has not been formally identified, appropriate inspection and testing must be arranged before removal begins.
Transport and lawful disposal
Package and label asbestos waste before arranging compliant transport to a facility authorised to receive it. Waste tracking records are maintained where required for commercial and industrial asbestos waste.
Once the required clearance has been obtained, we can continue supporting the property through a range of services.
