Our Expertise in Asbestos Remediation
As a licensed asbestos remediation removal service provider, WBS Engineers is trained and equipped to manage asbestos-related risks across the construction sector with particular expertise in asbestos-contaminated soil remediation. Whether the scope involves demolition, refurbishment, or new construction works, our team has proven experience in planning and executing asbestos remediation activities in a controlled and compliant manner, helping projects progress safely and without unnecessary delay.
Our Expertise in Asbestos Remediation Includes
Friable Asbestos Remediation Removal
Friable asbestos presents a high risk due to its ability to become airborne when disturbed.
Under our Class A asbestos licence, we are authorised to undertake friable asbestos remediation using strict containment, monitoring, and removal controls to minimise exposure risks and ensure regulatory compliance throughout the process.
Non-Friable Asbestos Remediation Removal
Non-friable (bonded) asbestos, while more stable, can still pose health and safety risks if damaged or improperly handled. We carry out non-friable asbestos remediation with appropriate control measures to prevent fibre release and to maintain a safe environment for site personnel and surrounding areas.
Site Decontamination and Disposal
Following asbestos remediation works, affected areas are decontaminated in accordance with approved asbestos management procedures. All asbestos waste is securely packaged, transported, and disposed of at licensed asbestos disposal facilities, ensuring full compliance with environmental and safety regulations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Asbestos remediation is the process of identifying, managing, removing, and disposing of asbestos-containing materials in a controlled manner. The aim is to eliminate or minimise the risk of asbestos fibre exposure to workers, occupants, and the surrounding environment, in accordance with NSW health and safety regulations.
- Friable asbestos: Can be crumbled or reduced to powder by hand pressure. Fibres can become airborne easily, posing a high risk.
- Non-friable asbestos (bonded): Fibres are bound in a solid material. It is more stable but can still be hazardous if disturbed.
Yes. Only licensed contractors can carry out asbestos removal in NSW:
- Class A licence: Required for friable asbestos removal.
- Class B licence: Required for non-friable asbestos removal.
WBS Engineers holds both Class A and Class B licences issued by the NSW Government.
Asbestos remediation is required when asbestos-containing materials or asbestos-contaminated soil are identified and may be disturbed by construction, demolition, or remediation works. This typically occurs during site preparation, excavation, refurbishment, or redevelopment of older sites.
Asbestos-contaminated soil is managed through controlled remediation methods based on site conditions and regulatory requirements. This may include containment, removal, treatment, or off-site disposal at licensed facilities. All works are carried out under approved plans and monitoring controls to prevent fibre release.
Asbestos remediation involves strict safety controls including:
- Controlled work zones and containment systems
- Air monitoring and dust suppression
- Personal protective equipment (PPE) for all workers
- Fit Test and Medical Test
- Regulated decontamination procedures
These measures protect workers, the public, and the environment.
All asbestos waste is securely packaged, labelled, and transported in accordance with regulatory requirements. Disposal is carried out at licensed asbestos disposal facilities, ensuring full compliance with NSW environmental and safety regulations.
Clients receive compliance documentation such as:
- Long Term Environmental Management Plan
- Records confirming asbestos removal was carried out in accordance with approved plans and legislation
This ensures confidence that asbestos risks are properly managed.
In some cases, asbestos remediation can be staged alongside other construction activities, provided appropriate separation, controls, and approvals are in place. Each site is assessed individually to ensure safety and compliance are maintained at all times.
Engaging a licensed contractor ensures asbestos remediation works are performed by trained professionals using approved methods and controls. This reduces health risks, ensures compliance with NSW legislation, and helps prevent project delays or regulatory issues.
Duration depends on the type, amount, and location of asbestos, site size, and complexity of works. WBS Engineers assesses each site and provides a clear remediation schedule before works commence.
Asbestos management plans should be reviewed regularly, especially:
- Before new construction or excavation works
- After changes to building structures
- Following completion of asbestos removal
