Here at SEC, our team of highly trained staff and geo-environmental consultants identify and quantify the potential risks of harmful effects on human health by focussing on three main elements; the source (the contaminant), the pathway (the route) and the receptor (human health or anything that may come to harm). These elements are the main thread of the land investigation study which comprises desk studies and site investigations. Risk assessment is a technical process and determines whether any element of risk is acceptable or not in regards to the proposed site or development.

The use of asbestos in the building industry became hugely popular in the 20th century due to its range of properties such as resistance to heat, electricity and chemical damage as well as good sound absorption and its tensile strength. This 'ideal' material is now known, however, to be highly toxic and responsible for serious asbestos related diseases.
We offer asbestos surveys of three levels: type 1 - presumptive (location and assessment) to locate the presence and extent of asbestos, type 2 - sampling survey (standard sampling, identification and assessment) which takes the first survey further by collecting and analysing samples, and type 3 - pre-demolition/ major refurbishment (full sampling and identification survey) - a full sampling programme. An asbestos remediation and management service is offered when any risk is identified.
