Reliable asbestos testing for any project
During the recent renovation of our building, we set up a specialized asbestos laboratory in the Civil Engineering Department. This laboratory meets the strictest safety and quality requirements within the field.
Normec is one of the first asbestos laboratories in Flanders to be accredited by OVAM. This guarantees that we work with a dedicated and professional partner.
Our permanent support is for everyone. Whether you are a contractor, study bureau, real estate office or private individual: we support you with research and analyses for asbestos inventories and demolition inventories.
Careful research and accurate analyses
We take you from start to finish in asbestos control. Our experts combine practical monitoring with state-of-the-art analytical techniques.
Among other things, we provide:
- Expert sampling of materials that (may) contain asbestos
- Research for asbestos in soil, carried out manually or mechanically
- Sampling via inspection wells, trenches and pendulum movements
- Sample processing, both on site and in our laboratory
This ensures a careful and reliable process, tailored to your situation.
Advanced techniques
Do you know what type of asbestos material is being used? And if so, what type? Our laboratories give you quick and clear answers using advanced microscopic techniques.
To do this, we examine the presence of asbestos in body fluids or food. We need to put the environment under the microscope to really make a difference.
