New energy infrastructure can still encounter asbestos

Asbestos risk is not restricted to old buildings. Renewable-energy projects can interact with legacy infrastructure and brownfield contamination, while individual components within more recent imported equipment may require investigation where provenance or material information is uncertain.

Important: ASM does not assume imported or Chinese-manufactured products contain asbestos. On individual projects, specific imported components have required investigation and some have been confirmed as asbestos-containing. Each component must be assessed on its own evidence.

Renewable-energy work already undertaken by ASM

Onshore wind

Turbine and component surveys

Targeted investigation before maintenance, replacement, intrusive work or dismantling.

Offshore wind

Offshore-related project support

Asbestos investigation where controlled access and confidential technical reporting were required.

Battery storage

BESS component investigation

Specific components within recent structures investigated where asbestos content required confirmation.

Brownfield BESS

Large-scale watching briefs

Asbestos watching briefs during ground disturbance where historic contamination may affect construction.

Energy-sector project information remains confidential

ASM works with major wind, engineering, BESS and infrastructure organisations. Client identities, asset locations, supply-chain information and component findings are not published without permission.

Where asbestos can affect an energy project

Legacy structures

Control rooms, substations, workshops and associated older infrastructure.

Plant components

Gaskets, seals, boards, insulation and specialist electrical or mechanical products.

Brownfield ground

Asbestos fragments and impacted made ground during foundations and cable installation.

Repowering

Investigation before dismantling, alteration or replacement of existing assets.

Imported equipment

Targeted verification where supply-chain evidence is incomplete.

Due diligence

Technical review before acquisition, refinancing or redevelopment.

Support throughout the project lifecycle

Survey

Targeted inspection and sampling.

Analysis

Bulk sample analysis through the appropriate UKAS scope.

Watching Brief

Competent support during brownfield intrusive works.

Remediation

Removal, air monitoring and project controls where necessary.
