Division 6 (Vic) pre-refurbishment / demolition survey
Before renovating or demolishing in Victoria, a Division 6 Survey is essential for asbestos detection and regulatory compliance.
If you're planning on refurbishing or demolishing structures in Victoria, a Division 6 Survey isn't just advisable – it's a regulatory must. Asbestos, favored in construction for its heat-resistant qualities until the 1980s, is now known to pose severe health risks, including lung cancer and mesothelioma.
Why is the Division 6 Survey crucial?
Safety first: To ensure safe renovations or demolitions, you must identify and manage any asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) on site. The survey rigorously checks for the presence and state of ACMs.
Regulatory adherence: The Australian legal landscape mandates these pre-refurbishment and pre-demolition surveys. Skipping this step can attract substantial legal repercussions.
Project security: Understanding the extent and condition of asbestos on site allows you to budget, plan, and execute projects with a full view of potential challenges.
When you work with ARC, you're choosing meticulous assessments that prioritize safety and compliance, ensuring your project moves forward with confidence.

The Division 6 survey process:
-
Before we dive into the actual survey, our team will meet with you to discuss your project, understand its scope, and explain the importance and process of the Division 6 Survey.
-
Our trained professionals visit the site to conduct a thorough visual inspection, looking for signs of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) and potential problem areas.
In areas suspected to contain asbestos, our team collects samples safely and systematically. This involves minimal disruption to the structure and is done adhering to all safety protocols. -
The collected samples are then sent to a NATA accredited laboratory. Here, they undergo rigorous testing to confirm the presence and type of asbestos.
-
Once the analysis is complete, ARC provides you with a comprehensive report. This includes findings on the location, type, and condition of any identified ACMs, along with recommendations for safe management or removal.
-
Asbestos management doesn't end with a single survey. ARC offers ongoing support to help you monitor, manage, and ensure long-term safety and compliance.
