How do we remove Asbestos from Fence?
Step 1: Safety Precautions
Before you begin, make sure you take the necessary safety precautions:
Wear protective clothing, including a mask, gloves, and safety goggles.
Keep the work area well-ventilated to minimise exposure to asbestos particles.
Have a waste disposal plan in place for the asbestos materials.
Step 2: Identifying Asbestos
If the space between the centre of the two ridges is around 150 millimetres, it's likely asbestos. If it's more than 200 millimetres, it's non-asbestos. Safety is a priority, so if you are unsure, consider contacting an asbestos removal specialist.
Step 3: Digging Trench and Loosening the Fence
Begin by digging a trench along the length of the fence. This trench will make it easier to access the fence panels. Be cautious while digging, as you may encounter pipes. If you do, dig around them carefully to avoid damage.
Step 4: Remove the Screws
Once you've dug the trench and exposed the fence panels, start by removing the screws that hold them in place. Ensure you save these screws for later use with the new Colorbond fence.
Step 5: Lifting the Old Fence
With the screws removed, carefully lift the old asbestos fence panels. They may be heavy, so it's advisable to have some help. Place the panels in a safe location to avoid breaking them and spreading asbestos.
Step 6: Preparing for the New Fence
Now that the old fence is removed, inspect the area for any damage and make necessary repairs. If there are soak wells or obstacles in the way, adjust the positions of the new fence posts as needed.
Step 7: Installing the Colorbond Fence
Install the Colorbond fence posts, ensuring they are securely anchored. Use the saved screws to attach the Colorbond panels to the posts. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper installation.
Step 8: Finishing Touches
To complete the project, add a 300-millimetre plinth beneath the Colorbond fence to ensure stability and a seamless transition.
