Asbestos gaskets removal – Food factory, Liverpool

DACT Contractors recently completed a specialized asbestos removal project at a food factory in Liverpool, where we were tasked with safely dismantling conveyor systems that contained asbestos gaskets. As part of the overall factory maintenance and upgrade, the removal was critical to ensure that the equipment could be safely disassembled, cut into smaller sections, and prepared for scrapping, all while adhering to strict safety regulations and industry standards.

Careful Dismantling of Conveyor Systems

Our team began by assessing the site and planning the most efficient and secure method for removing the asbestos gaskets from the conveyor systems. The conveyor systems had been in use for many years, and their gaskets contained asbestos, which required careful handling to prevent any risk of exposure. The systems were carefully disassembled piece by piece, with each section being handled with utmost care to ensure minimal disturbance to the gaskets.

Once the gaskets were exposed, we safely removed them, following proper containment procedures to avoid any potential contamination. The conveyor metal work was then prepared for scrapping, and each piece was carefully cut into smaller, manageable lengths for transportation. Throughout the project, we maintained strict adherence to asbestos removal safety protocols to prevent any airborne fibers from escaping and to ensure the protection of both the workers and the surrounding environment.

Strict Safety Protocols and Containment Procedures

Asbestos removal in industrial environments, particularly in food factories, requires an unwavering commitment to health and safety. Our team followed all relevant health and safety guidelines, wearing full personal protective equipment (PPE) and using negative pressure units to ensure that the work area remained secure. The site was regularly monitored for any potential asbestos dust or fibers, and air quality was checked to confirm that it was safe for both workers and the surrounding area.

Efficient Waste Disposal and Regulatory Compliance

Once the asbestos-containing gaskets were removed, all materials were double-bagged in certified asbestos waste bags to contain any hazardous materials. The waste was then transported using licensed vehicles to a certified disposal center where it was disposed of in line with all environmental and regulatory requirements. To ensure full transparency, we provided the client with a waste consignment note, which documented the proper and legal disposal of the hazardous materials.
