Brief Description

KpH Environmental was appointed to undertake an intrusive site investigation within a basement environment at Holloway Road, London. The works were required to support early-stage assessment ahead of potential refurbishment, with a focus on identifying any asbestos-containing materials within the existing slab construction.

Scope of work

Break out 6 trial holes within the basement slab in accordance with engineer’s drawings
Excavate to 300mm below slab level
Collect material samples from each location for laboratory analysis
Undertake works using appropriately trained operatives equipped with RPE
Coordinate sample testing for asbestos presence
Provide a report of findings to inform next project stages

The works were carried out within a confined basement environment, requiring careful planning around:

Controlled breakout of the slab to avoid unnecessary disruption
Safe handling and containment of potentially hazardous materials
Use of appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE and RPE)
Coordination with the client team to align with site access and working conditions

The investigation provided the client with clear, site-specific data on material composition, enabling informed decision-making ahead of refurbishment works.

By identifying the presence (or absence) of asbestos at an early stage, the project reduced risk, supported compliance, and allowed subsequent works to be planned with confidence.
