Franks Portlock was commissioned by complex demolition specialists, ABLE UK, to survey four US vessels - USS Canisteo, USS Calossahatchee, USS Canopus and USS Compass Island - for asbestos over a period of five months.

Franks Portlock offers asbestos surveys to cover all eventualities. As we are a UKAS-accredited organisation, you can be confident we will adhere to strict controls to provide a high standard service. All of our surveys require that we take samples to verify asbestos content through a thorough laboratory analysis at one of our regional laboratories. To find any asbestos within premises that may be accessible through normal building occupancy, including basic maintenance and installation work. We will use this to create an asbestos management plan.
