SECTION 1 – INTRODUCTION SURVEY BRIEF Purpose of this survey, including the Client’s responsibilities and Background to the Project APDM (Asbestos Team) were requested to undertake a Demolition survey of the premises in order to establish the presence of Asbestos-containing materials. The purpose of the survey is to establish the location, extent and condition of any asbestos containing materials on site so as to direct the building owner/manager in taking responsible steps in the removal of such materials. The survey procedure included a thorough visual examination of the premises for Asbestos-containing materials and subsequent collection of samples where appropriate in accordance with HSG 264 ‘The Survey Guide’. This survey report records the condition of any hazardous materials discovered at the premises and includes a full risk assessment of such materials, along with recommendations for the removal of Asbestos from the building. The survey will help the responsible person compile an Asbestos Management Plan to comply with Regulation 4, Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012; the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974; the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 and the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2007, as required by legislation. An experienced and qualified Asbestos Surveyor, who has been specially trained in the practical and technical aspects of Asbestos use in industry, has carried out this survey. Whilst great care has been taken to ensure that all items, which may contain Asbestos, have been located, no survey can guarantee that all contaminated materials present have been identified. Please note that as demolition takes place, items of Asbestos-containing materials may be uncovered that were visually and physically impossible even under the restraints of a Demolition survey to locate and identify. For e.g. within concrete. Where damaged or broken materials likely to contain asbestos are found within the premises we will use our discretion to carry out air monitoring to determine the levels of airborne fibres that exist. In the event of this exercise recording levels of fibres above the lowest limit of detection (0.01 f/ml) we would have to instigate procedures to include:

(a) Inform the responsible person for the building of our findings, including any risk assessments that would be necessary

(b) Investigate the source of the contamination and arrange for remedial works to be undertaken to

isolate the source (c) Instruct the responsible person for the building to organise decontamination works to reduce the

level of airborne fibres below the lowest limit of detection (0.01 f/ml)

SECTION 1 – INTRODUCTION DESCRIPTION OF THE SITE / BUILDING The property known as Bridgefield House, Branston Road, Burton – On – Trent, Staffordshire, DE13 9SB Background information & Scope of Works A demolition survey was requested by Michael Peile of Amey Consulting & Infrastructure to ascertain the presence of Asbestos within Bridgefield House prior to future demolition. Bridgefield House is believed to of been built between late 1980’ and early 1990’s and was considered to be a low risk of containing Asbestos. The property was a two storey building of brick and block construction under a pan tiled roof. All ceilings were flat skimmed plaster board with no Textured Coatings and there were no vinyl tiles throughout the property. The only samples taken were to an External Store to the rear of the property which were cement based tiles and under cloak. There was no visible cement based under cloaking to the main property as there were tiled edgings to the roof. Access was restricted to the main roof due to height restrictions and care should be taken when removing the roof should cement under cloak be present beneath the inaccessible tiled edgings. There was a fibreglass and timber storage unit within the boundaries of the property which appears to of been originally the rear of a Lorry. This was visually checked and not believed to be asbestos containing.

SECTION 2– QUALIFICATIONS ON SITE CONDITIONS M C Wells & D J Kelly undertook the survey dated 16th February 2016 being a surveyor (or surveyors) employed within APDMC (Asbestos Team). It must be noted that the information contained within this report is compiled and dealt with in a number of sections to achieve an overall assessment of the project when considering the risks associated with any Asbestos found. It is important that, when issuing information to contractors or regulating authorities, the complete report be issued so as not to unknowingly withhold any information. Samples (Management, Refurbishment/Demolition) Samples were taken of suspected materials and where possible photographs of the samples were taken. Clearly it is not possible to sample every material encountered, therefore where common areas exist representative samples were taken and assessments have been made as to the nature of the material. In order to minimise disturbance and fibre release when collecting samples, these were taken from broken or damaged positions. Where this was not possible samples were taken by spraying with water or an alternative liquid suppressant (where possible) and carefully cutting a small piece for sampling purposes. Samples are then placed in double sealed bags, identified and taken from site for bulk analysis by an appointed, UKAS approved laboratory. Where suspected materials form a service cover, or where these materials would need to be disturbed to gain access for a sample to be taken, we have not taken samples in order to avoid the release of airborne, contaminated dust, which could post a health risk. Records of sampled asbestos location are included within the body of this report.

SECTION 2 – QUALIFICATIONS

ACCESS TO THE SITE Whilst carrying out the survey associated with this report APDM (Asbestos Team) have made every effort to gain access to all areas of the building that may contain Asbestos. However, some areas may not have been accessible to survey without causing disruption to the materials, or limited access only was available. APDM (Asbestos Team) cannot be held responsible for any Asbestos bearing materials that may become uncovered during future works within these inaccessible areas. This report may contain Additional Comments which can be found in Section 7 of the report. REFURBISHMENT/DEMOLITION SURVEYS Textured Coatings The more explicit guidance in Work with materials containing Asbestos on removal of ACM’s from buildings before demolition applies directly to textured coatings. ACM’s should only be removed before demolition if it is reasonably practical. In many cases, it will not be reasonably practical to remove textured coatings before demolition as the removal is resource-intensive/time consuming and involves other risks, e.g. where textured coatings are attached directly to the substrates such as concrete or lath and plaster. However, where textured coatings are attached onto materials which can be easily removed intact or whole, e.g. plasterboard sheets, then removal may be reasonably practical, e.g. by removing whole sheets intact. The survey should identify the nature of the substrate and whether textured coating removal will be required. Textured coating removal will be necessary where refurbishment is taking place. Areas to be examined All ‘No Access’ areas on previous surveys (if available) must be accessed with suitable access equipment and procedures Suspended Ceilings Suspended ceilings not previously accessed (e.g. AIB tiles screwed to timber battens) must be entered, by means of an enclosure and airlock system constructed by a licensed Asbestos-removal contractor. This work is likely exceed the short-term exemption under the Approved Code of Practice Work with materials containing Asbestos and will therefore be notifiable to the relevant enforcing authority. If the work is deemed to be short duration and non-licensed, i.e. it meets the short-term exemption (as well as other criteria) under the Approved Code of Practice Work with materials containing Asbestos (i.e. total time less than two hours with no one person working for more than one hour) then the work may be done by a competent non-licensed contractor using appropriate control measures. Suspended ceiling void are often very cluttered and full of ventilation ducting, pipework and cables. If several entry points are required or more than one void id to be inspected, the work will probably be notifiable and require a licensed Asbestos-removal contractor.



Page 8 of 29

The ceiling void may contain Asbestos debris and other ACM’s such as sprayed coating, pipe insulation, older ceilings above the latest one, damaged fire breaks etc. All ACM’s in the void will need to be located. Partition Walls (plasterboard/AIB sandwich) Walls may not be uniform and may have undergone partial replacement. All sections of a partition wall will need to be examined, unless documentary evidence confirms that they were erected at a time when ACM’s would not have been used or the original specification confirms that’s ACM’s were not to be used. Visual inspection will not be enough on its own. If the evidence is that the walls were erected at a specific time and that no refurbishment or alteration has taken place, then an appropriate proportion of the sections should be examined. The joints between partition panels may contain Asbestos rope fire seals. The rope may only be apparent with the outer trim (e.g. aluminium) is removed. Cavity Walls Although loose Asbestos was not known to be used as a cavity insulation material, wall cavities should be inspected with an endoscope to check for the presence of any Asbestos materials or debris such as AIB. Entry points should be agreed with a competent person, e.g. builder, joiner or structural engineer. Walls should also be examined thoroughly where insulated heating pipes pass through brick or breeze block walls. Check for insulation or residues within the wall cavity itself. Apertures (doors, windows etc.) Cavity closers (Usually Asbestos Cement) are sometimes found around air bricks, windows etc. All apertures should be examined thoroughly. Window frames commonly had AIB packers or spacers where the window frame was attached to the brick wall. Asbestos rope seals as firebreaks are also found. Door frames (particularly around fire doors) should be inspected for AIB packers where the frame is fitted into the doorway. The architraves will need to be removed. Floors Carpets and tiles must be lifted. The floor tile adhesive also frequently contained Asbestos. Floor ducts or trenches must be accessed and inspected for shuttering, services, pipe insulation, fire stops and debris etc. The inspection includes the duct cover itself, which may have Asbestos Cement (AC) or Asbestos Insulating Board (AIB) shuttering. The full length of each duct will need to be inspected, unless it is clear that Asbestos pipe insulation is present throughout, when the entire run can be treated as containing Asbestos. Floor boards must be lifted to examine the void below. Sufficient boards must be lifted to ensure that the whole floor void is examined for loose Asbestos, AIB debris, packers, fire protection, electric cables etc. It may be necessary to inspect the ends of joists for AIB packing.



Page 9 of 29

Slab (poured concrete) floors are known to contain AIB or AC which was used as an expansion joint or shuttering below the surface. These may only be found by drilling core samples through the slab. This will need specialist advice on structural considerations and on the equipment needed to carry out this type of investigation. AC sleeves were used where cables or pipes run through a slab floor, although these should be visible at the surface. Ducts Service risers, including fire stops between floors, if not investigated under a previous survey, must be inspected. Lift shafts must be inspected, including the pit at the bottom of the shaft. Ventilation shafts or ducts have been seen with Asbestos acoustic attenuators and with debris from assorted ACM’s. Ventilation trunking should also be examined. Cladding Columns or stanchions may have been originally provided with fire protection from AIB or sprayed coating. It may be concealed by over-cladding with a non-asbestos board (Supalux or Masterboard), wood or metal sheet. All columns should be inspected. External cladding of tile or slates (which may or may not be asbestos) will usually conceal a moisture membrane based on a bituminous ACM and possible AIB panels. Debris in Boiler Room areas This should have been investigated during a previous survey (e.g. old type 2 survey or management survey but it may be necessary to look closely at where pipes pass through walls, or in sumps and gulley’s, behind and underneath tanks and other plant. In particular, the walls, ceilings and floors should be inspected for insulation debris, which may have been painted over. All plant and electrical equipment must be investigated (while certified in a safe condition) It may not be possible to locate some or all of the debris until the plant (tanks or boilers etc.) have been removed. It will be necessary to remove the plant under controlled conditions with an appropriate plan of work. Cast iron sectional boilers with Asbestos between the sections (or as a plinth under the boiler) will need to be dissembled under controlled conditions. Debris underneath non-asbestos re insulation If the desktop study revealed that Asbestos insulation has been stripped and replaced, a proportion of the new insulation must be removed to examine the extent of any Asbestos debris on the pipes, bolt-heads and flanges. If any of the pipes are shown to have frequent occurrences of Asbestos debris, then it is likely that the pipe will have to be removed as ACM’s. Roof Voids Where Rockwool or vermiculite loft insulation is present in a Roof Void, the areas underneath it should be inspected, particularly if there is evidence of other ACM’s, such as AIB as firebreaks. Loose Asbestos is very occasionally found as loft insulation in houses around old Asbestos factories or dockyards.



Page 10 of 29

Previously demolished areas: From desk-top study The desk-top study should be used to investigate whether any previous structures (including underground structures) remain or may have released Asbestos debris into the soil. Whether the desk-top study is available or not, the site must be inspected visually to identify obvious signs of demolition works and associated surface Asbestos debris. It may be necessary to treat the external area as a contaminated site for investigation purposes, in which case, trenches and pits may have to be excavated to establish the extent of the debris. The desk-top study will need to include reference to old plans from historical archives, for example. Overspray debris from sprayed coatings If a sprayed Asbestos coating is present or known to have been present at some time in the past, the area must be inspected carefully for the presence of debris and to establish the extent and location of any overspray. Use of AIB as packing and shuttering Depending on the age of the building, surveyors need to be vigilant in buildings constructed in the 1960’s and 1970’s for the use of AIB as packing and shuttering. This was frequently used simply as a convenient piece of board and not because of the need for fire protection etc. Some of these applications should have been found under a previous survey. Damp-proof course (DPC) Any DPC with Asbestos should have been detected in a previous survey. It will not normally be necessary to remove this during demolition. IT MUST BE EMPHASISED THAT THIS IS A LIST OF COMMON AND/OR FREQUENTLY FOUND LOCATIONS WHICH MUST BE EXAMINED. IT MUST NOT BE REGARDED AS EXHAUSTIVE OR EXCLUSIVE, AND EACH TYPE OF STRUCTURE WILL BE THOROUGHLY EXAMINED ON ITS OWN MERITS.

If during the survey APDM Asbestos Surveyors were unable to access some areas within the scope of the survey. These areas are therefore presumed to contain Asbestos in accordance with HSG 264 ‘The Survey Guide’. Details of the non-accessed areas can be found in Section 5 of the report, The (Asbestos Team) cannot be held responsible for any Asbestos containing materials that may become uncovered during future works within these inaccessible areas. Investigation and/or sampling procedure is undertaken by a qualified person.

SECTION 3 - SURVEY TECHNIQUES METHODOLOGY Details of site condition relevant to this report The survey of the site was carried out by APDM (Asbestos Team) by means of a refurbishment/demolition survey as previously described in Section 2. In accordance with our in-house survey procedures, these procedures reflect the requirements of HSG 264 ‘The Surveyors Guide’ and HSG 248 ‘The Analysts Guide’ In order to minimise disturbance and fibre release when collecting samples these were taken from broken or damaged positions. Where this was not possible samples were taken by spraying (where possible) with a liquid suppressant or use of a wet wipe, and carefully cutting a small piece for sampling purposes. Samples were placed in double sealed bags, identified and taken from site for bulk analysis by an appointed and UKAS approved Laboratory. The results of these bulk samples are included under Section 6 of this report. A copy of the UKAS Laboratories Test Result is attached as an addendum to this report.

SECTION 3- SURVEY TECHNIQUES CONSTRUCTION (DESIGN AND MANAGEMENT) Health and Safety Guidelines used by our operatives To ensure that our technicians carry out all survey operations on-site under the regulations of the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2007 they have been instructed to adhere to the following guidelines: All high level survey works shall be undertaken using suitable access equipment, such as ladders or scaffold towers. Where necessary a second operative shall assist in stabilising any ladders used. Where surveying and sample gathering is to take place on construction or demolition sites our Asbestos Surveyors shall wear suitable Personal Protecting Clothing, such as hard hats, safety boots, gloves and high-visibility outerwear. Where an Asbestos Surveyor is sampling Asbestos materials they shall wear suitable disposable type 5/6 category 3 coveralls, over boots and wear a suitable RPE, mostly a disposable AP3 filter mask, or Sundstrom half face mask with P3 filter, but a higher level of protection may be necessary. Care shall be taken when sampling to ensure that any damage caused by sampling is contained and no loose debris are allowed to contaminate the surrounding area. Technicians responsible for taking samples will be fully acquainted with any hazards associated with working with Asbestos and shall take precautions for both their own protection and that of other personnel on-site. If at all possible all samples shall be taken when the areas are unoccupied after advising the building owner/management of their intention. Entry into confined spaces will not be permitted until the building owner/manager has been informed and an investigation is made for noxious fumes within the atmosphere. In cases of an extreme nature the Asbestos Surveyors shall be issued a suitable harness and rope to ensure that they are able to retreat from the confined spaces at all times. When accessing voids it is essential that the operative checks for loose debris and damaged Asbestos materials and takes all necessary precautions. Where air monitoring is undertaken this shall be carried out in accordance with the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) Publication HSG 248, Asbestos: The Analysts’ Guidance for Sampling, Analysis and Clearance Procedures (Appendix 1). Air monitoring services (fibre counting) are not currently part of the accredited services offered by EPDM (Asbestos Team). All air monitoring services are sub contracted to UKAS accredited laboratories and are listed on a controlled document list.

SECTION 3 - SURVEY TECHNIQUES SAMPLE COLLECTION Statement of Method of Sample Collection

The strategy of sample collection has been based upon a systematic visual inspection of the building, with samples taken of suspected materials.

Sprayed coatings and encapsulated sprays are usually, but not always, homogenous (under any encapsulate) and two samples of the material are sufficient if taken at either end of the sprayed surface. If the installation is particularly (e.g. > 100 m2) large one sample should be taken every 25-30 m2. Samples should be taken from all visible areas of repairs or alterations.

Pipe insulation is often highly variable in composition, especially where there is a change in colour, size and texture or there is evidence of repairs or modifications, e.g. Asbestos may have been stripped from long runs of pipes but have been left around pipe elbows, taps and valves. In general, one sample should be taken per 3m run of pipe with particular attention paid to different layers and functional items (valves etc.) For long runs of pipe (e.g. > 20m), one sample per 6m will usually be sufficient. It can be difficult to demonstrate that individual pipes are Asbestos free so all pipes should be sampled even when they appear similar. Samples should be taken from all patches of repairs or alterations. Insulating board is usually homogenous but repairs and replacement boards and tiles may have been fitted. Boards and tiles may also have been painted. One sample per room or every 25 m2 is usually adequate.

If fire doors are found within the building the Integrity of the Door will not be compromised to obtain a sample of any linings that may exist, a presumption will be made. Asbestos Cement products are homogenous which are commonly encountered as corrugated and flat sheets or as various moulded products. If sampling is required, one sample of each type of sheet or product (e.g. gutters, downpipes etc.) should be taken. Repeated sampling is not usually necessary unless areas of replaced sheets are found.

Vinyl/Thermoplastic floor tiles sometimes contain Asbestos fibres. Where possible a complete floor tile, or each type of tile in the building, shall be taken. Where this is impractical then a sample piece of tile shall be taken.

Textured Coatings (ie Artex) may also contain levels of Asbestos fibres. As it is common for different areas of ceiling to have different types of coating it is recommended that at least two samples are taken from each type of ceiling suspected of containing Asbestos. As Asbestos may not be uniformly present in the coating and the coating is usually thin, an area of about 2 cm2 should be sampled.



Page 15 of 29

SECTION 3 - SURVEY TECHNIQUES SAMPLE ANALYSIS Statement of Method of Bulk Analysis Analysis of samples taken from the site is carried out by a UKAS Accredited Testing Laboratory in accordance with HSG 248, Asbestos: The Analysts’ Guide for Sampling, Analysis and Clearance Procedures. The samples are initially examined under a stereo microscope, with the fibres separated to estimate the concentration of fibres present. On completion of this process the samples are then mounted in liquids of known refractive indices and examined under high magnification utilising a polarised light and dispersion staining technique. Where surveying and sample gathering is to take place on construction or demolition sites our operatives shall wear suitable Personal Protective Clothing, such as hard hats, safety boots, gloves and high-visibility over wear. RELEVANT LEGISLATION Statement of Legislation to be adhered to when surveying The following Legislation shall always be adhered to by both our surveyors and analysts when undertaking works associated with Asbestos:

Health and Safety at Work Act 1974

The Control of Asbestos Regulations (CAR) 2012

Managing and working with asbestos. Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. Approved Code of Practice and guidance (L143 second edition)

Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015

Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002

The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999

SECTION 4 – MATERIAL INSPECTION REPORT

MATERIAL RATING

Description of Material Assessment Risk Scoring

Within our Material Inspection Report we have endeavoured to indicate the level of risk represented by any Asbestos materials discovered during our survey. The following Table is a guide to the risk established to assist the building owner/manager in considering the implications of managing their Asbestos. The scores indicated are based upon a risk score calculated using the Material Risk Assessment Algorithm within HSG 264 ‘The Survey Guide’.

Comment Potential to release Asbestos fibres

HIGH RISK 10 - 12

HIGH

MEDIUM RISK 7 – 9

MEDIUM

LOW RISK 5 – 6

LOW

VERY LOW RISK 4 or less

VERY LOW

Non-asbestos materials have no potential to release fibres

Recommendations In our report we will make recommendations as to what we feel is the most effective way to manage each

material. These are offered as a guide to help you when you consider management options but are not

definitive as your ultimate decision also needs to take into account factors such as, accessibility and

priority.

SECTION 5 - MATERIAL ASSESSMENT DESCRIPTION OF ASBESTOS Brief description of Asbestos Type Materials There are six different types of Asbestos split into two groups. Both groups have the same hazards and occur as fibres. They are different in their chemistry and in the way they formed millions of years ago. AMPHIBOLE GROUP Crocidolite (Blue Asbestos), Amosite (Brown Asbestos), Anthophyllite, Tremolite and Actinolite SERPENTINE GROUP Chrysotile (White Asbestos) MOST COMMON TYPES Only Chrysotile (White), Crocidolite (Blue), Amosite (Brown) and Anthophyllite have been in common industrial use. The colours are obvious when freshly mined, but ageing and heat turn all asbestos a similar colour, and only by scientific tests can Asbestos be identified and classified by type. Chrysotile: Used extensively in industry and typically in cement based products, manufactured products such as gaskets, tiles and textured coating Amosite: Used widely as an insulation material sprayed onto structures, used in pipe and vessel lagging and in sheet form such as casings and ceiling tiles Crocidolite: Used for fire protection and sound deadening, sprayed or added with other types of Asbestos Others: Tremolite and Actinolite are extremely rare forms not normally found in the UK.

SECTION 6 - CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS TO SURVEY Findings from our Survey

General Qualifications to Report Whilst we consider the survey carried out to be a thorough investigation, our experience of the building industry leads us to conclude that Asbestos based materials are frequently concealed within the building fabric or items of Plant. No survey can be considered as a complete register of hazardous materials, due to the above restrictions and we cannot give a guarantee that all Asbestos materials within the site have been found and identified. Where Asbestos based materials have been located and subsequently identified, it remains a possibility that past deterioration of the materials may have caused contamination of surrounding areas. Without visual evidence of such contamination the only way of assessing the risk would be to undertake dust swab sampling exercises and/or airborne fibre monitoring which would be subject to additional costs. Refurbishment/Demolition Survey If the areas surveyed under a refurbishment/demolition survey are subject to future works or partial demolition, this would need to be undertaken whilst the areas are vacated.

SECTION 6 - CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS TO REPORT This report has been commissioned to establish the location, extent and condition of any Asbestos containing materials (ACMs) on-site. If, during the survey, APDM (Asbestos Team) found evidence of ACMs on-site, they will be listed below. Our recommendations for the management and/or removal of the materials detailed in this report are as follows:

Typical Photo

Ref

Item

Recommended Action

Action Timetable

050 External Store – Cement Roof Tiles

Remove using a competent contractor

Within 6 Months from the date of this survey

054 External Store – Cement Under cloak

Remove using a competent contractor

Within 6 Months from the date of this survey

Under current UK legislation you are now obliged to record details of any Asbestos containing materials (ACMs) in a register, manage the risk they pose, continuously monitor them and implement a re-inspection regime. We recommend that you talk to APDM (Asbestos Team) to discuss management options and creating a compliant Asbestos Register. If it is decided to remove any or all instances of Asbestos-containing material this should be done under controlled conditions by a suitably licenced and qualified contractor. During the survey if APDM surveyors were unable to access (Kiln, Ceiling Panels and Floor Ducts and Wall Heaters) areas within the scope of the project. These areas are presumed to contain Asbestos in accordance with HSG 264 ‘The Survey Guide’. Details of the non-accessed areas can be found in Section 3. APDM (Asbestos Team) cannot be held responsible for any Asbestos containing materials that may become uncovered during future works within these inaccessible areas. Investigation and/or sampling procedure is undertaken by a qualified person. Under no circumstances should any work be carried out that will disturb Asbestos materials without first assessing the possible risks involved and establishing the appropriate procedures needed to overcome them (refer to Peterborough City Council’s Asbestos Management Procedures).



Page 25 of 29

SECTION 6 - CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS TO REPORT Additional Comments The following additional comments have been added as an addendum to the report.
