Type 3 Asbestos Survey
Type 3: Full access sampling and identification survey (pre-demolition/major
refurbishment surveys)
This type of survey is used to locate and describe, as far as reasonably
practicable, all ACM’s in the building and may involve destructive inspection,
as necessary, to gain access to all areas, including those that may be difficult
to reach.
A full sampling programme is undertaken to identify possible ACM’s and
estimates of volume made. The survey is designed to be used as a basis for
tendering the removal prior to demolition or major refurbishment.
