Founded in 1982, ATL has been established as a leading expert in New Zealand in the safe removal and management of asbestos, mould and chemical contamination, and their professional approach is built on a culture of industry best practice and compliance and their strategic partnerships allow them the ability to provide full end-to-end solutions.

ATL Group consult to, and carry out asbestos removal, demolition, roofing and reinstatement services for a wide range of clients across the private, commercial, government, healthcare, education, industrial, military/defense and civil works sectors.Their management staff and teams come from asbestos, construction and engineering backgrounds that allow them to develop solutions for their customers that consider their wider needs.

When asbestos is poorly managed, it has the potential to contaminate not only the property it’s in but also the surrounding land, and if contaminated land is not dealt with promptly there is a risk that asbestos fibres can be carried by the wind or through groundwater to other areas, spreading the contamination, increasing the clean-up that will be required, along with the cost. Simple rain run off from an asbestos roof that has been poorly maintained would be enough to cause a significant release of asbestos fibres into the soil surrounding the building. Land that has been contaminated with asbestos needs to be effectively managed and restored to protect people and the environment.

Removing asbestos contamination from soil is a highly specialised process that must be done correctly to minimise health risks and avoid further environmental contamination, and ATL has a team of experts who are experienced in dealing with remediation of contaminated land and sites.

If you have concerns about the presence of asbestos in your property and surrounding soil, the best place to start is to engage a professional to conduct a site survey. They will take samples of your soil to be tested at an accredited laboratory. This will give you accurate information about the location and amount of asbestos in your soil along with recommendations on how you should proceed to minimise any ongoing risk.der needs.
