Asbestos Encapsulation

To eliminate asbestos-related diseases, the new Control of Asbestos at Work Act now makes it a legal requirement for any asbestos within structures to be identified and controlled.

Concrete structures are no exception and many, particularly older concrete tunnels for example, may contain asbestos that needs priority treatment.

Flexcrete’s range of asbestos encapsulation systems will secure any harmful fibres and provide a weatherproof coating, upgrading the surface while creating a safe environment for the future and ensuring full compliance with the Act.
