62 | TechClean CONTRACTING T T Kelly Deeks Asbestos removal accounts for up to 95% of the company’s work with new branches in Christchurch, Dunedin, and Wellington. Specialists in asbestos removal The professional decontamination and restoration services offered by specialist cleaning firm TechClean & Restoration are bringing about the best outcomes for properties and property owners throughout the South Island and lower North Island. Originally established in Nelson in 2012 as a cleaning and restoration company, TechClean got into asbestos removal several years later, in addition to the specialist decontamination of meth and mould, and disaster restoration. Today, asbestos removal accounts for up to 95% of the company’s work with new branches in Christchurch, Dunedin, and Wellington. “We specialise in the efficient and comprehensive removal of asbestos in commercial and domestic properties,” says TechClean business support manager Jared Lock. “We follow industry best practices to remove all traces of asbestos from your property ensuring no physical or air-borne particles are left. We do this ensuring total safety for our team with high levels of training to NZQA qualification, full PPE, and rigorous quality checks. We adhere to NZS 4801 Health & Safety Management certification requirements, and have a Class A and B asbestos removal licences.” TechClean is doubling in size every year and has continued to grow throughout 2021, with the acceptance of some major projects across Wellington, Canterbury, Dunedin, and Nelson, while also meeting the demands of insurance and residential clients. In Dunedin, TechClean is working alongside key partner Taggart Earthmoving in the major redevelopment of the historic KiwiRail workshops. This complex asbestos removal and remediation project covers more than 12 buildings, with the technical asbestos removal team working hard to remove and clean the building from asbestos contamination. Following the devastating floods on the West Coast in July TechClean attended to urgent repairs on residential homes and commercial buildings across the Westport region. Navigating various COVID-19 lockdown requirements, multiple properties, tenants, and job sites, were all challenges faced by TechClean’s Nelson and Christchurch teams. “When disaster strikes, it’s an incredibly difficult time,” Jared says. “Seeing your home and possessions damaged is distressing and can be difficult to manage. A flood needs prompt attention to remove water, prevent further damage, and properly dry the premises to avoid mould contamination, while ensuring any asbestos is contained. Our fast, professional, and skilled staff are trained in restoring a property as thoroughly as possible, and in safe manner. It’s not just about repairing the immediate damage, but also ensuring the continued health and wellbeing of the inhabitants and the building.” TechClean works to Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) Standards, and invests in the latest equipment and materials to stay at the leading edge of restoration technology. In 2021, TechClean continued to make substantial investment, with health and safety a key area. All negative pressure units and vacuums are regularly serviced and all products used are certified and checked for compliance.
