The Highest Standard of Friable Demolition

When a structure contains friable asbestos, standard demolition methods are strictly prohibited. Friable materials—those that can be easily crumbled or reduced to powder—pose a severe respiratory risk if fibres become airborne. Irwin Services provides the specialised “Class A” expertise required to dismantle and demolish these high-risk environments safely.

Our approach to friable demolition involves total site isolation and precision deconstruction. We utilise state-of-the-art containment technology to ensure that every fibre is captured and removed, allowing the remaining structure to be cleared for final demolition or safe re-occupancy.

High-Risk Structures & Materials We Demolish

Friable demolition is required for specific hazardous environments.

Our experienced team is equipped to manage:

Industrial Plant & Boiler Rooms

Demolition of structures containing friable pipe lagging and thermal insulation.

Spray-on Insulation Removal

Stripping fire-rated or acoustic coatings from structural steel before building demolition.

Fire-Damaged Asbestos Structures

Safe knockdown of buildings where fire has rendered bonded asbestos into a friable state.

Internal Strip-outs

Complete removal of friable-backed vinyl flooring and ceiling tiles within commercial buildings.

Legacy Industrial Sites

Demolition of ageing factory components heavily contaminated with asbestos dust (ACD).

Advanced Containment & Friable
Safety Technology

Friable demolition requires an airtight environment and specialised atmospheric controls to prevent fibre migration.

Negative Pressure Enclosures (NPE)

We construct custom polyethylene “bubbles” around the demolition zone to isolate it completely.

H-Class HEPA Air Scrubbers

Continuous filtration of the air within the enclosure to ensure high-velocity air exchange and purification.

Three-Stage Decontamination Units

Mandatory multi-stage showers for all personnel entering and exiting the high-risk zone.

Wet-Demolition Techniques

Using specialised misting and saturation tools to ensure materials remain damp throughout the process.

Continuous Air Monitoring

Real-time fibre counting by independent hygienists to ensure the integrity of the containment.

Independent Clearance & Structural Verification

Once the friable demolition or strip-out is complete, a rigorous verification process is mandatory.

We facilitate exhaustive visual inspections and final air clearance testing conducted by independent Occupational Hygienists. Only once the laboratory results confirm the area is free of airborne fibres will a Clearance Certificate be issued. This provides the legal green light for follow-up trades or the final mechanical demolition of the structure.
