High-Risk Industrial Roofing Delivered Safely in Strict Weekend-Only Stages

Location: 31 Monro Avenue, Kirrawee NSW
Client Type: Commercial Property Owner
Project Type: Industrial asbestos roof and façade replacement
Completion: June 2021

Element Metal Roofing was engaged to deliver a large-scale asbestos removal and re-roofing package for a fully operational industrial facility in Kirrawee. With the tenant continuing weekday operations, EMR was required to complete all asbestos removal and installation works exclusively over weekends—while ensuring the building was safe, clean and watertight for staff every Monday morning.

Delivering Safe, Compliant Works Without Disrupting Business Operations

The property owner needed a roofing contractor with specialist asbestos capabilities and the project management strength to run multiple trades under extremely tight time constraints.

The project required a partner who could take full responsibility for:

• Site access and safety management
• Asbestos compliance and environmental controls
• Strict weekend-only scheduling
• Maintaining building integrity between stages
• Protecting high-value goods stored within the facility

EMR was selected for our proven ability to manage complex industrial asbestos replacement programs while ensuring seamless continuity of business operations.
