How we Helped.

Comprehensive asbestos surveying across a historic Cambridge college estate.

Fourbridge was appointed to undertake a comprehensive programme of asbestos management surveys and laboratory analysis across the estate of Homerton College, part of the University of Cambridge. The multi-week project covered a mix of historic Victorian buildings and modern teaching, accommodation and communal facilities, all within a live academic environment.

The Problem.

The College required:

Full compliance with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
Up-to-date asbestos registers to support ongoing refurbishment works
Sensitive surveying within listed and heritage buildings
Minimal disruption to students, staff and events

Working within occupied buildings and complex service voids added logistical and safety challenges.
