Industrial Decontamination Services
Hughes and Salvidge understand that when decommissioning or developing sites, the decontamination of industrial structures, buildings, plant, equipment and air handling systems must be one of the first things to address.
Industrial decontamination is essential in demolition to ensure the safety of the community and our workers, to protect the environment and to comply with regulations. As part of our complete demolition solution, our highly trained operatives are experienced in investigating, testing and removing hazardous contaminants. Initial assessments are required prior to any demolition activity commencing as it will guide the planning and execution of the project. Depending on the outcome of the initial assessment, industrial cleaning may be incorporated before, during and after the demolition activity takes place.

We believe in providing the safest, most practical and cost effective solution for responsible demolition.
All activities undertaken by Hughes and Salvidge will be in accordance with the approved programme of work, phased operations and safe demolition techniques and the activities will be planned and undertaken in line with the Risk Assessments, Method Statements, Project Health and Safety Plan and Environmental Plan.
Initial Assessment and Planning
Before commencing any demolition or decontamination activities, our team conducts a comprehensive initial assessment of the site. This assessment includes identifying potential hazards, evaluating contamination levels, and determining the scope of cleaning and decontamination required. Based on this assessment, a detailed plan is developed to guide the project execution.
Hazardous material Identification
We specialise in identifying and categorising hazardous materials present on-site, such as asbestos, lead, chemicals, or other pollutants. This step is critical for ensuring proper handling, containment, and disposal of hazardous substances in compliance with regulatory standards.
Development Of A Decontamination Plan
Using data gathered from our initial assessment, we create a tailored decontamination plan. This plan outlines specific methodologies, equipment, and protocols for safely removing and disposing of contaminants while minimising risks to workers, the community, and the environment.
Containment and Isolation
During decontamination activities, we establish strict containment measures to prevent the spread of contaminants. This includes sealing off work areas, implementing negative air pressure systems, and using specialised barriers and enclosures to isolate hazardous materials.
Safe Removal and Disposal
Our trained operatives execute the removal and disposal of hazardous materials in accordance with regulatory requirements. We ensure all waste is handled, packaged, transported, and disposed of safely and responsibly to licensed facilities.
Cleaning and Decontamination
Utilising advanced cleaning techniques and equipment, we thoroughly clean and decontaminate structures, buildings, equipment, and air handling systems. Our goal is to restore the site to a safe and usable condition, free from harmful pollutants.
Air Handling System Cleaning
We conduct specialised cleaning of air handling systems to remove accumulated contaminants and maintain air quality standards. This includes ductwork cleaning, filter replacement, and disinfection to prevent airborne hazards.
Final Inspection and Clearance
Following the completion of cleaning and decontamination activities, we perform a rigorous final inspection to verify that all contaminants have been effectively removed. Upon meeting established clearance criteria, the site is deemed safe for further development or reuse.
Documentation and Reporting
We provide comprehensive documentation and reports detailing the industrial cleaning and decontamination process. This includes records of hazardous material identification, decontamination methodologies, waste disposal records, and clearance certifications.
