Non-Friable Asbestos Removal
Controlled removal of non-friable ACM in telecommunications infrastructure.
Older telecommunications infrastructure can contain non-friable asbestos containing material (ACM). Where these assets are upgraded, replaced or decommissioned, the material must be identified and managed under controlled conditions.
AVD Drills approaches this work as a planned activity — assessment first, then documented controls, then removal and clearance.
