All Aboard the Asbestos Survey Express! Somerset’s Railway Carriage Experts

Here in Somerset, we pride ourselves on our expertise in all things asbestos. From period properties to industrial units, we’ve surveyed it all. But recently, we took on a project that steered us down a new track – quite literally! We say a new track but we have now completed several of these fascinating surveys. This time our lead surveyor undertook an asbestos refurbishment survey on a TSO Carriage for Gwill Railway Ltd, and it’s safe to say, we’re now officially experts in surveying railway carriages.

Why is Asbestos Surveying Important for Railway Carriage Restoration?

Asbestos, a once-common material used in construction and manufacturing, was often found in older railway carriages. From insulation to brake pads, this hazardous material poses a significant risk if disturbed. Before any restoration work can begin, a comprehensive asbestos survey is absolutely crucial. This ensures the safety of the restoration team and prevents the potential release of harmful asbestos fibres into the environment.

Our TSO Carriage Survey: A Detailed Approach

Our lead surveyor meticulously inspected the TSO Carriage, identifying and documenting any asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). This involved:

  • Thorough Visual Inspection: Carefully examining all areas of the carriage, including seating, flooring, roofing, and insulation.
  • Sampling and Analysis: Taking samples of suspected ACMs for laboratory analysis to confirm their presence and type.
  • Detailed Reporting: Providing Gwill Railway Ltd with a comprehensive report outlining the location and condition of any ACMs, along with recommendations for safe removal or encapsulation.

Navigating the Challenges of Railway Carriage Surveys

Surveying a railway carriage presents unique challenges. The confined spaces, intricate construction, and the age of the carriages themselves require specialist knowledge and experience. Our team’s expertise in asbestos surveying, combined with our understanding of railway carriage construction, allowed us to conduct a thorough and efficient survey.
