What comes up in Maitland

3 conditions, and each one is handled differently

Every site is scoped on the day. The table is what the work usually involves here rather than a statement about any particular property.

Flood affected timber and fibro

Water damage and the handling that follows a flood both break cement sheet up, which changes how it has to be treated.

How it is handled
Assessed before anything is disturbed, because damaged sheeting may have to be handled as friable rather than bonded.
What does it
Licensed asbestos removalists, with air monitoring where the condition requires it.

Fragments through soil and yard fill

Around Maitland, fragments in the ground usually come from an earlier demolition carried out without controls.

How it is handled
Delineated, excavated and removed as contaminated material, then validated. Mixing it with clean soil does not make it compliant.
What does it
Excavator to a control plan, lined trucks, disposal at a licensed facility.

Freestanding houses

Single and double storey brick, brick veneer, fibro and timber. The era matters more than the material, because anything built before 1990 carries a hazardous materials assumption until it is tested.

How it is handled
Hazardous materials removed and cleared first, services disconnected in writing, then the structure taken down and the material separated as it falls.
What does it
Excavator with a demolition grapple, sized to the side access rather than to the house. Zero tail swing where the work runs hard against a boundary.

What shapes the work on these blocks

  • Older timber and fibro housing Where bonded material is assumed until sampling says otherwise.
  • Flood affected land in parts of the area Which shapes what can be rebuilt and how, and sometimes what a job finds.
  • Rural sheds and outbuildings Fibro sheeting and roofing, often weathered.
  • Room to work on most blocks Which makes the set up and the staging straightforward.

Maitland blocks generally have space, so the containment, the wrapping and the loading can be set up properly without carrying material far. The haul to a licensed facility is the planning item, and it is determined by the classification rather than by distance.

What we do in Maitland

Five service groups, one contract

Most jobs need more than one of these. Quoted together they share a mobilisation, a programme and one set of truck movements instead of three contractors waiting on each other.

Maitland questions

What people ask before we start

Is flood damaged fibro more dangerous?
It can be. Water damage and the handling that follows a flood both break material up, and damaged cement sheet may have to be treated as friable. That is assessed on site before anything is disturbed.
Can you clean up after storm or flood damage?
Yes. Emergency asbestos clean up is part of the service: the area is secured, the material is assessed, removal is carried out under the appropriate controls and independent clearance follows.
How do you handle ground that might be contaminated?
It is tested and classified before it moves, then taken to a facility licensed to receive that classification. On former industrial land around Newcastle this is a normal part of the job rather than an exception, and remediation can be quoted on the same contract.
Is Max licensed for the asbestos removal itself?
Max holds the demolition licence, AD214737. The asbestos removal is carried out by licensed asbestos removalists, and the air monitoring and clearance by an independent licensed assessor. The whole pathway is managed as one job so you are not coordinating three contractors.
