🏥 Big projects are underway at Nelson Hospital, and we're proud to have been part of the team that made the start of this one happen safely.

ANL were engaged to manage the removal of an asbestos and heavy metals contaminated soil at the new TIPU site, working alongside ISAACs Construction 🤝 and under the principal contractor Southbase Construction. 💪

⚠️ This wasn't your average job. Co-contaminated soil containing both asbestos and heavy metals meant every step of this project demanded precision, planning, and a zero-compromise approach to safety.
🛻 Following specific methodologies, specialist plant loaded directly into double-lined disposal trucks under continuous suppression... no shortcuts, no dust, no risk.
🔬 Independent air monitoring and clearance sampling was carried out throughout by a Licensed Asbestos Assessor, and disposal was managed to a consented facility under full regulatory compliance.
📋 Extensive H&S documentation was in place from day one; risk registers, task analyses, works methodology, competency registers, and a full WorkSafe notification. Because that's how we do things. ✅
🌟 Huge credit to the ISAACs and Southbase teams for their professionalism on site, it's what happens when everyone takes health and safety seriously.

At ANL, we don't just remove asbestos, we manage risk. 🦺

🏗️ Builders, tradies, and property managers, this one's for you.

Before ANY demolition or significant renovation on a pre-2000 building, NZ law requires an asbestos refurbishment or demolition survey to be carried out.

That's not optional. It's a legal requirement under the Health and Safety at Work (Asbestos) Regulations 2016.

We make it easy. We're local, we're fast, and we'll have your survey report back to you so your project can move forward with confidence.

📋 Fact: asbestos is still the number one cause of work-related deaths in New Zealand.

Not accidents. Not machinery. Asbestos.

Mesothelioma and other asbestos-related diseases develop decades after exposure, which means people are dying today from asbestos contact that happened in the 1970s, 80s, and 90s.

The scary part? Exposure is still happening. Every time someone disturbs, or demolishes an unidentified ACM without the right controls in place, the risk continues.

This is why we take what we do seriously. Every job. Every time.

🧪 Class A vs Class B asbestos removal. What's the difference?

Not all asbestos removal is the same, and not all contractors are licensed to do all types of work. Here's what you need to know:

CLASS B removal covers bonded asbestos. Think cement sheets, floor tiles, roof tiles. It's non-friable and lower risk when intact.

CLASS A removal covers friable asbestos, which is the loose, powdery stuff that's far more dangerous. Textured coatings, paper backings, insulation products, pipe lagging. This requires a higher level of training, equipment, and controls.

ANL holds BOTH Class A and Class B WorkSafe licences, which means we can handle any asbestos material you throw at us, no matter how complex the job.

If a contractor only holds a Class B licence and is removing friable material? That's a problem. A big one.

🔍 Thinking about renovating?

STOP. Before you touch a single wall, ceiling, or floor, get an asbestos survey done first.

Disturbing asbestos without knowing it's there can expose you, your family, and your tradespeople to serious health risks. Under NZ law, it's also the property owner's responsibility.

We're Nelson's local, cdrtified asbestos surveyors. We'll identify exactly what's in your property, where it is, and what the plan should be before any work starts.

⚠️ Did you know?

New Zealand only banned the import and use of asbestos-containing materials in 2016.

That means properties built or renovated as recently as 15 years ago could still contain asbestos materials.

And with the renovation boom across Nelson and Tasman? That's a lot of homes and commercial buildings where asbestos could be disturbed without anyone realising.

Don't leave it to chance. An asbestos survey gives you the full picture before any work starts.

🚨 UNDER THE HOUSE... BROKEN ASBESTOS PIPES. 🚨

Not unusual. Not a surprise. Just the reality of older NZ properties. 😬
For decades, unwanted asbestos materials got "tidied away" under floors and into crawl spaces. Out of sight but still there, still a risk, and still needing proper licensed removal when they're eventually found.

This week the ANL team cleared a full B-Class removal on a Richmond property:
🏚️ House and garage soffits
⚡ Asbestos electrical switchboard
🔧 Broken AC pipes from under the floor

Done properly. Done safely. ✅

Got an older property? A survey will tell you what's hiding.

🏠 Does your home have asbestos?

If your house was built before 2000, the answer is; likely!

Asbestos was used in hundreds of building materials right here in New Zealand, including:
✅ Textured ceiling & wall coatings
✅ Vinyl floor backing & Vinyl tiles
✅ Cement board cladding and soffits
✅ Roof tiles & sheeting
✅ Wall linings and jointing compounds,..and many more!

Here's the thing though, asbestos in good condition and left undisturbed is generally not an immediate risk. It's when it gets disturbed that fibres can become airborne and dangerous.

Not sure what you've got? That's exactly what we're here for.

Phase 1 complete on this residential removal in Tahunanui, Nelson - and it was a comprehensive scope. 💪

Older homes in the Nelson region are full of surprises!

This residential property presented with a range of asbestos-containing and suspect materials across multiple areas of the home. Our Phase 1 scope covered textured coated wall linings, vinyl flooring, cement board soffits, and two materials identified during our initial setup day; suspect flooring material and suspect insulation board to the fireplace. 🏠
Finding additional materials on setup day isn't unusual. What matters is how you respond to it. Our team assessed, documented, and incorporated those materials into the works programme without delay or compromise to the safety of the occupants, the site, or our crew. ✅

This is what licensed, methodical asbestos removal looks like in practice. Not just pulling materials out but understanding what you're dealing with, controlling the risk, and leaving the site cleaner and safer than you found it. 👷

Phase 2 coming up. More to follow. 👀

Thinking about renovating or selling your home? Don't start work until you know what's hiding in your property. Asbestos can turn up anywhere, and in more forms than most people realise. Get in touch with the ANL team today!

Good people deserve good coffee ☕

Grabbed the team a round from Little Nessie this morning - if you haven't been, do yourself a favour!

The crew at Asbestos Nelson put in hard work every day in some of the most demanding environments, and doing jobs in the region that most won't. The least we can do is start the day right!

Supporting local is something we genuinely care about, whether that's the businesses we work alongside or the cafes keeping our team fuelled. Nelson's got great people doing great things and we'd rather spend our money here than anywhere else.

Big thanks to the team at , you never miss 👌
