A highly experienced and competent company, Hertel has been involved in asbestos abatement work since 1975.
During the removal of asbestos the safety of people and the environment are of utmost importance. Our asbestos abatement projects are carefully controlled by in house asbestos procedures and guidelines and stringent safety regulations laid down by governments in each of the countries in which we operate.
With a dedicated mobile, fully equipped and trained workforce and can guarantee immediate, safe and cost effective solutions to your asbestos problems.
We constantly strives to improve our safety performance and procedures. An example of this is in the United Kingdom where Hertel worked closely with the HSE to develop and advance Wet Strip techniques to significantly reduce the amount of airborne asbestos fibres during removal projects. In The Netherlands, Hertel was one of the first companies officially authorised to remove asbestos.
All asbestos removal projects are approached, regardless of the scale, in carefully controlled stages.
