Asbestos Surveying

Enviro employs a number of qualified asbestos surveyors. This in-house capability brings significant advantages to our clients both when carrying out stand alone surveys and when undertaking asbestos removal and demolition works.

Asbestos Removal

Having facilitated and managed large scale asbestos abatement projects nationwide, we have the expertise to provide tailored solutions to all aspects of asbestos removal. From initial site survey our dedicated project management team will produce a detailed asbestos survey report outlining the location, condition and extent of your asbestos problem. With experience of managing asbestos removal for large decommissioning projects and commercial refurbishments, we can carry out all aspects of specialist high level asbestos removal.

Since the Health & Safety Executive first introduced the requirement in 1984. The Company has acquired substantial in depth experience in handling these sensitive materials to the highest safety standards. All activities relating to this aspect of demolition are carried out with careful regard and protection of all personnel and adherence to the environment.

Asbestos projects are executed by us from minor small works for local authorities to major works within power stations, which can include up to 5,000 tonnes of Asbestos Containing Materials (ACM) from a single project.

We have unrivalled expertise to solve the challenges presented by asbestos. From undertaking asbestos surveys, through safe removal works to the final deposition of the waste we carry out all of the operations in house using its own equipment and trained and experienced staff.

What you need to know about removing asbestos

Asbestos is a naturally occurring fibre mined from rocks, which was extensively used in construction industry due to its resistance to heat, electricity and sound. However, it has now been known for many years to be extremely harmful (carcinogenic) through inhalation of the fibres. A Key factor in the risk of developing an asbestos related disease is the total number of fibres which are breathed in.

Asbestos related diseases are currently responsible for approximately 4,000 deaths per year in Britain alone.

Asbestos is still present in a wide variety of buildings, including homes, public and commercial buildings. Provided the asbestos is not damaged or disturbed so that it is not releasing fibres, it does not present any hazard to health. It is the inhalation of its microscopic fibres which can cause major health problems in cases of high or sustained exposure.

If you are embarking on a project which requires demolition of a structure containing asbestos, we are experts in the safe removal of asbestos containing materials. We are licensed to remove and dispose of asbestos and can assist you with any legislative requirements. Enviro has unrivalled expertise to solve the challenges presented by asbestos. From undertaking asbestos surveys, through safe removal works to the final deposition of the waste Enviro carries out all of the operations in house using its own equipment and trained and experienced staff.

Ship recycling offers a possibility to reuse significant parts and equipment of the ship. Steel can be recycled to produce new steel, reducing the energy required for processing by two-thirds. Copper cables and aluminium may also be recycled in similar ways. This way we reuse natural resources.

Ship Recycling

Although the principles of ship recycling may be sound, the working practices and environmental standards in some yards often leave much to be desired. In these situations, ship recycling can be dangerous. With the adoption of the Hong Kong International Convention for the Safe and Environmentally Sound Recycling of Ships in May 2009, steps towards quality improvements in ship recycling have been taken.

Ship recycling activities are undertaken in dry dock conditions (unlike the vast majority of ship breakers yards) and the use of the large dry dock maximises the safety and integrity of the environment.

Basel Convention

The Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and their Disposal is relevant for ship dismantling, as a ship that is sent for scrapping usually contains hazardous materials and may be (hazardous) waste as well as a ship under other international conventions. The Conferences of the Parties (COPs) of the Basel Convention have adopted Technical Guidelines and various decisions on this issue, and the Secretariat has collected information on ship dismantling.

We operate a specialist division for:

• The demolition of marine structures
• Underwater installations
• Jetties, quays
• Dock facilities
• Bridge abutments and foundations
• Wreak removal

Action by Non-governmental Organisations

• Greenpeace
• Basel Action Network (BAN)
• Robin des Bois (NGO involved in maritime security and environment) publishes regular information bulletins and annual surveys on shipbreaking in French and English, see: www.robindesbois.org (page on “démolition des navires”).

Enviro Metal Trading

Ensures that the operation of ship recycling facilities in a safe and environmentally sound manner; and the establishment of an appropriate enforcement mechanism for ship recycling (certification / reporting).

Worldwide, between 200 and 600 large end-of-life ships are broken up and recycled every year, as their steel, other scrap metal and equipment constitute valuable raw materials. Most of this ship dismantling nowadays takes place in South Asia, on tidal beaches and under primitive conditions. While the industry provides thousands of jobs for migrant workers, a lack of environmental protection and safety measures leads to high accident rates, health risks and extensive pollution of coastal areas. Older ships contain many hazardous materials, including asbestos, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), tributyl tin and large quantities of oils and oil sludge.

The fundamental purpose of Enviro is to provide clean, safe services that help protect and improve the environment.

Enviro Plastic Recycling specialises in the brokerage of surplus stocks of plastic. Plastic polymer types are collected and sorted for reprocessing within the UK and abroad. Plastic comes in many different varieties and forms. There is a simple labelling system to make it easier to classify plastic resins which you will find on the following page. Enviro Plastic Recycling, always endeavours to recycle as much as plastic waste as possible.

The Waste Management Experts

At Enviro, we can provide you with a one-stop service for your waste management and to educate you and your employees regarding the recycling of waste to avoid it ending up in landfill.

By ensuring your waste is managed efficiently you can benefit by saving money on your disposal and collection charges. In addition, your business image will be enhanced by being environmentally aware and responsible.

Why Recycle?

Recycled Plastics require less than 20% of the energy needed to produce compared to creating from scratch from petrochemicals. This is a huge saving and massively reduces the amounts of greenhouse gases released into the environment.

To achieve this we first sort and clean the plastic materials from highly from various sources of waste products. Secondly, we clean, sort and purify the plastics by type and grade until they’re ready for re-use in certified manufacturing plants.
