Work to begin on removal of asbestos material from houses in College Avenue Moyross

Limerick City and County Council has outlined to residents in College Avenue, Moyross a programme of works for the removal of asbestos material. Residents have already been informed of the schedule and will receive the following letter outlining the process.

Dear Resident,

Following on from the previous correspondence in relation to the removal of asbestos from your home, Limerick City and County Council wishes to advise you that work in the area will begin on Monday 25 September 2017.

The removal works will be carried out by Safeway Environmental, which is a specialist firm licensed to deal with the removal of asbestos material.

Works on the day will begin at 8.30am when the resident will be briefed on the works that need to be carried out.

The electrician and plumber will then stop any services, such as electricity and heating, passing through the cupboard from the hot press.

Safeway will then construct and test the air lock unit in the hallway and form the seal at first floor level before the removal of the asbestos material begins.

Air test monitoring will continue throughout the day which the works are ongoing by certified specialist.

An assessment of the contents will be made.  Any items which can be wiped clean will be cleaned and any items which would trap or hold a fibrous material will be bagged for disposal.

A full air test within the sealed enclosed area will be carried out once the asbestos material is removed and an air quality certificate will be issued once the works have been completed.

When the air tests return clear, the services will be reconnected and the residents can return to the house.

Small finishing works will be carried out the following day.

Due to the nature of the works, residents will have to leave their house for the day.

The works will take place on the following days:
