Asbestos Building Materials Survey

Pinchin Environmental assists building owners in the management of asbestos in buildings by identifying the extent of asbestos materials and the factors that represent a potential hazard.

Provincial regulations vary, but most require surveys for daily management of asbestos materials even in the absence of construction work. All provinces require surveys prior to renovations that may disturb asbestos materials.

Our staff has surveyed over 10,000 buildings, totaling over 100 million square feet. This practical experience allows us to tailor our survey methods to our client's specific needs.

(Building materials containing friable asbestos were in commercial use from the turn of the century until the early 1980's.)
