Cost-Effective Asbestos Roof Encapsulation

Asbestos roof encapsulation (sometimes referred to as asbestos abatement) is a cost-effective, safe (when done correctly) alternative to asbestos roof replacement.

Plenty of buildings have asbestos cement roofing that’s intact, performing its job, and isn’t going anywhere for a while. In those cases, removing the roof and starting again can cause serious disruption. In those situations, asbestos encapsulation can secure, seal, and stabilise, to extend the serviceable life of the roof without the need for a full replacement.

Asbestos encapsulation isn’t always an option: the conditions have to be right. But when it is, it can save both time and money whilst minimising disruption.

Safe, Compliant Asbestos Roof Encapsulation

Gallant manages asbestos roof encapsulation works to the required standard, using approved products and methods that seal and stabilise asbestos containing materials in place.

Our licensed, experienced team will identify suitability and, where possible, provide safe encapsulation solutions for each roof. Encapsulation isn’t just a paint job. The material being treated is still asbestos, and the work needs to be approached that way from start to finish.

Whether or not encapsulation is the right option for a given roof comes down to the condition of the material and the situation on site. We will assess your roof and provide you with straightforward advice so that you understand your options.

Our Case Studies

Asbestos Roof Encapsulation | Industrial Roof, Smithfield

The Project

Gallant was engaged to encapsulate a 1,100 m² asbestos cement corrugated roof on an industrial unit at Smithfield in western Sydney. Full removal would have meant stripping and re-roofing the building. Encapsulation sealed the asbestos in place instead, extending the serviceable life of the roof at a fraction of the cost and disruption, with the building staying in use throughout.

The Scope

Loose bituminous membrane debris was first vacuum removed from the roof sheeting under controlled conditions and disposed of as asbestos waste. The roof was then sealed with a proprietary asbestos binding system, one coat of primer followed by two topcoats, using a product formulated specifically for the encapsulation of asbestos corrugated roofing. Works were carried out by a licensed supervisor and asbestos removalist.

The Precaution Measures

Works were performed under a site specific Asbestos Removal Control Plan and task specific SWMS by Class A and Class B licensed personnel, with all waste tracked and disposed of at a licensed EPA facility under regulatory waste tracking certificates.

The Outcome

The roof was sealed and stabilised in place, the asbestos safely bound and the building returned to service without the cost, downtime or waste of a full replacement.
