Refurbishment & Demolition Asbestos Survey — Gas Compressor Station, Huntingdon
Project Overview
Following recent works within the UK gas transmission network, we were instructed to undertake a further Refurbishment & Demolition (R&D) asbestos survey at a gas compressor facility in Huntingdon. The scope involved intrusive inspection within plant buildings and service areas, including sections operating in proximity to live infrastructure. Careful planning, access coordination and adherence to site control measures were essential to ensure the survey was delivered safely within an operational environment. In energy and utilities settings, survey scope must reflect the planned upgrade works. Where intrusive boundaries extend beyond what has been assessed, risk becomes operational and commercial as well as technical. All inspection and sampling were undertaken in accordance with HSG264, providing suitable and sufficient information to support dutyholders in meeting their obligations under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. Supporting infrastructure and utilities projects across the UK.
The Challenge
- Operational gas transmission facility with live infrastructure
- Intrusive inspection requirements near active plant areas
- Strict site control measures and access protocols
- Survey scope aligned to planned upgrade works boundaries
Our Approach
- Developed survey methodology for operational energy environment
- Coordinated access with site operations and safety teams
- Conducted intrusive inspection within plant buildings and service areas
- Adhered to site control measures throughout
Deliverables
- R&D asbestos survey report (HSG264 aligned)
- Asbestos register for surveyed areas
- Clear location referencing within complex facility
- Recommendations supporting dutyholder compliance
Project Outcomes
- Survey delivered safely within operational environment
- Reliable asbestos information supporting upgrade works
- Dutyholder obligations under CAR 2012 supported
- Clear scope documentation for ongoing project phases
