Inner City Environmental (ICE) was appointed to manage asbestos risks during a major excavation project at the Port of Dover. The site, located within a high-traffic commercial port, presented complex logistical and environmental challenges, requiring meticulous planning and execution.
Scope of Works
- Pre-excavation asbestos surveys
- On-site air monitoring and reassurance testing
- Safe removal and disposal of identified asbestos-containing materials (ACMs)
- Continuous liaison with the principal contractor and port authorities
- Compliance with Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
Challenges
The excavation area was adjacent to active freight and passenger routes, demanding strict adherence to safety protocols and minimal disruption to port operations. ICE’s team worked under tight timeframes and changing site conditions, ensuring all asbestos risks were controlled without impacting the wider project schedule.
Outcome
The project was delivered safely, on time, and in full compliance with regulatory standards. ICE’s proactive approach and close coordination with stakeholders ensured the excavation could proceed without delay, with all asbestos risks effectively managed.
