Asbestos Cable Pit

Removing hidden risk from live networks

Asbestos-containing cable and communication pits sit quietly in plain sight, often in footpaths, schools, government facilities and commercial precincts. They are easy to overlook and difficult to manage without disrupting live services. When these pits reach the end of their life, the risk must be dealt with properly.

North West Asbestos & Demolition Solutions specialises in the identification, removal and replacement of asbestos communications pit infrastructure across the Pilbara and Kimberley. We work in environments where services remain active, public access is present and mistakes carry real consequences.

Communication pits exist where people move, services run and access cannot simply be restricted for long periods. This type of work demands planning that accounts for surroundings, usage and timing, not just the asset itself, looked at through a wide lens, with an understanding of who and what is affected at every stage of the work.

Where asbestos is present, removal is carried out under controlled conditions in line with regulatory requirements, with replacement pits installed to Australian Standards, restoring function while removing a long-term hazard from the site.

Working in Active Public Spaces

Asbestos cable and communications pit works are carried out in areas that continue to function during the project. Footpaths, campuses and operational sites require clear sequencing, defined exclusion zones and coordination with stakeholders. Our approach focuses on keeping the environment orderly while work progresses.

Compliance & Completion

All asbestos communications pit works are completed in line with WorkSafe WA (Western Australia) requirements, recognised codes of practice and relevant Australian Standards. To suit, documentation is prepared to support compliance, handover and long-term asset records.
