When fiber cement with asbestos is broken, worn down, or handled improperly, it represents a health hazard. Asbestos fibers can break free and remain suspended in the air. When breathed, they enter the lungs and, over a period years, can cause several serious illnesses.
If material containing asbestos is found abandoned, government bodies must contact a company authorized to carry out the removal process.
The City Government of Barcelona, acting through TERSA (a city-owned company), has implemented an action protocol whereby a report is sent by email and/or fax to our company to remove the material.
Nordvert S.L, a Sorigué company, is authorized and has the resources required to remove and manage fiber cement containing asbestos. It is registered in the Asbestos Risk Company Registry (RERA), which is required for companies that carry out activities or operations in which their personnel is exposed directly or indirectly to asbestos or to materials containing it.
Once the service has been carried out with personnel, resources, and tools that are suitable for handling and transporting fiber cement, Nordvert informs the City Government of Barcelona that the collection work has been completed and the materials properly managed.
