A large moss-covered asbestos-cement ventilation hood on the side of a commercial building, dismantled piece by piece inside a scaffold-wrap enclosure and the ground reinstated.
An ageing asbestos-cement ventilation hood and duct, mounted on a steel frame against a commercial building, was deteriorating and had to go. Because the structure stood outdoors and above head height, SES scaffolded it and wrapped the scaffold to form a sealed enclosure before any panel was touched.
Inside the wrap the crew dismantled the fibre-cement panels and the insulated lining under wet methods, wrapped everything on poly for licensed disposal and stripped the steel frame back to its base plates. The lawn was reinstated and the area cleared before hand-back.
Project scope:
Licensed asbestos removal, demolition and specialist cleaning across Auckland and the North Island - one crew, one contract, one clearance.
A sealed negative-pressure enclosure built inside a working office for Class A removal - differential pressure logged, air monitoring pumps running and an independent assessor on site throughout.

A first-floor office stripped back to the shell - linings, ceilings and partitions out, asbestos removed under controls and the floor handed back swept and ready for fit-out.
Learn more
Asbestos-contaminated dust cleaned from the ceiling void, structural steel and ductwork of a commercial building, with the floor below sheeted and sealed so the tenant could keep trading.

Poly-sheeted enclosure tunnel, three-stage decontamination unit, airlock and fire station set up inside a commercial building for friable asbestos removal.

Friable pipe lagging removed from live plant room pipework inside a sheeted enclosure, with wet spray suppression, a decontamination unit and bag lock at the entry.

Asbestos-contaminated plant craned whole into a lined and wrapped skip bin inside a taped exclusion zone in an industrial yard - no dismantling on site.
Learn more
Branded SES hoarding around a commercial building, a decontamination unit outside and sealed black-poly doorways inside so the removal ran without disrupting the rest of the site.
Learn more
Negative air units, HEPA filtration and a decontamination unit set up inside a stripped office floor so the fit-out contractor could start on a clean, cleared shell.
Learn more
Enclosures built on the warehouse floor and mezzanine with decontamination units at each entry, so the asbestos could come out in stages while the warehouse kept operating.
Learn more
Roof off and the house taken down frame by frame by hand, with timber sorted for salvage rather than crushed by machine.
Learn more
Asbestos removed from the equipment aisles of a live telecommunications exchange - working from scaffold between racks that could not be switched off.
Learn more
Asbestos-contaminated dust cleaned from a commercial ceiling void, its ducts and the air-handling plant deck, with the crew in full PPE and respirators above a working building.
Learn more
A photo record from eight years of SES asbestos jobs - the enclosures, airlocks, decontamination units, negative air, signage, air monitoring and waste wrapping that go up before any asbestos is touched.

Asbestos roof sheets craned off a commercial building from a work platform inside a fenced exclusion zone, with the client’s car park kept open throughout.

One of our combined asbestos and demolition projects getting ready to start: scaffolding up, security fence up, then cladding stripped and the house taken down by the same crew.
Learn more
Block walls, retaining walls and the old house taken down by excavator and the site cleared to make way for the client’s new sub-division.

Another project completed on time: asbestos removed, house demolished and the section handed back ready for the client to start building their new home.
Learn more
A negative-pressure enclosure built along an office corridor for Class A removal of asbestos insulation board, with decontamination unit, airlock and air monitoring throughout.
