Rilmac Asbestos Project, Lincoln
It is hard to imagine nowadays that asbestos was once used extensively as an insulation material in buildings all across the UK. We now know that it is highly hazardous and causes many fatal diseases. These buildings are a potential threat to all who live and work in them, and it is vital to the environment that the asbestos is removed and disposed of safely.
We have been removing asbestos, using the latest methods, for over 30 years. The process involves safe enclosures with controlled environments, hazmat suits, and specialist equipment. From small houses, to power stations, the process is exactly the same.

As part of the M&E and roof replacement works at a large scale factory in the city of Lincoln, Rilmac were employed to remove the internal asbestos insulating boards from the roof structure. Working progressively throughout the factory, with multiple enclosures, in a 24/7 live factory environment, Rilmac had up to 24 men working on-site at any one time. The programme of works was developed in line with the requirement of the reinstatement programme, and this was achieved at each project milestone.
