Asbestos Removal: Demolishing Your Beloved Structural Material

In construction, asbestos removal is an organized set of processes designed primarily to prevent the release of asbestos particles into the environment. Before 1970 most commercial buildings and industrial facilities were constructed with asbestos insulation. Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that has been widely used for many years in construction because of its fire retardant properties. It was used in such high volumes because it is resistant to heat, flame, electricity, chemicals, and biodegradable. Unfortunately, asbestos is also resistant to the removal methods used today. Therefore, most asbestos-containing materials need to be properly removed and disposed of.

Many people don’t realise just how hazardous the air pressure caused by demolition can be. When an asbestos removal contractor uses a high-pressure air compressor like the type found in most industrial buildings, they can remove the bulk of the asbestos without contaminating the surrounding air. High pressure air compressors typically utilize CO2, propane, butane or nitrogen. There are many different models, and not all of them will work well in every situation.
