Our northern division has been trusted by many North Coast homeowners, schools and government departments to safely remove asbestos from buildings and conduct partial demolitions to make room for facility growth.
Asbestos isn’t just a city problem; many of our agricultural and industrial buildings, including their underground infrastructures, were constructed with asbestos.
Asbestos doesn’t break down, so even if you bury it in a hole on the farm, the next generation which accidentally uncovers it, will be at risk of lethal asbestos related diseases.
Sometimes, there’s a temptation to keep the presence of asbestos quiet and to attempt to remove it DIY. We highly recommend against this, as illegal and undocumented asbestos dumping has the potential to endanger lives both now, and in the future, as well as causing potential pollution to our waterways.

Safe asbestos removal and remediation
Proper asbestos disposal is about keeping you, our communities, and future generations safe!
When we remove asbestos, we go to great pains to ensure we’re not leaving fragments on the ground, or escaping into the air around the job site. When it comes to disposing of the asbestos, all our loads are tracked by the EPA’s waste locate system, and tips that accept asbestos are forced to keep thorough records of the areas where asbestos is located, so that in years to come, future generations will know that those areas are always out of bounds to unearthing and development.
HTS Northern division are trusted by local councils, the Department of Education, and many businesses to properly take care of asbestos threats and safely remove and remediate asbestos from buildings and infrastructures.
We can guide you through the whole process from asbestos management to removal and remediation whether you’ve demolishing a high rise, taking down a garden shed, or renovating your bathroom.
Trust our team of dedicated, licensed asbestos removal professionals with your north coast asbestos removal and disposal needs.
Higher risk asbestos removal
Unfortunately, asbestos becomes an even bigger threat after floods and fires when it is likely to become damaged and the fibres can consequently become airborne.
We can mobilise our agile teams quickly, bringing you safe, site clean-up, demolition, and restoration services that you don’t need to micromanage.
We are happy to work with insurance companies and government departments to deliver these remedial projects.
Asbestos Dumping
Australia was one of the leading users of asbestos products back in the 60s and now we’re paying for it with our health and our back pockets.
There is an estimated 6000 tonnes of asbestos illegally dumped in Australia every year, putting communities at risk and costing taxpayers around $11.2 million per annum to clean up.
The fines for dumping, repurposing, or incorrectly disposing of asbestos continue to rise. Currently you could face up to $15,000 for disposing of asbestos containing materials in a kerbside bin. It’s not worth the risk to your health, the heath of drivers and tip workers, and the health of anyone walking past your bin.
We can also help you with rubbish removal, cleaning up after fire, storms and floods, mould removal and lead removal and remediation.
If you have a tough job involving asbestos removal or other dangerous materials, the chances are that we can help! Our priority is keeping the community safe from hazardous environments.
Lead Remediation at Wingham Brush Primary School
HTS Northern Division recently remediated the courts and playground at Wingham Brush Primary school, where deteriorating lead paint from a nearby site had made its way to rest. Remediation involved removal of the courts surface and thorough cleaning of the surrounding grounds to ensure no lead was left with the potential to cause sickness for the children or teachers.
Asbesots Pipe Removal
HTS Northern Division recently supported MidCoast Council in removing asbestos pipes from under the ground. Pipe removal and disposal was carried out at night to minimise disruption to public spaces.
It is estimated that there are still in excess of 40,000 kilometres of asbestos water piping running underground in Australia.
HTS Group prides itself on keeping communities safe through meticulous asbestos removal practices. Trevor Grieve, Northern Division Manager says "The health of the community and HTS Group workers are our top priority on every asbestos removal or remediation job."

Asbestos Legacy Remediation
The HTS Northern Division crew was tasked with remediation of this high school quadrangle from asbestos legacy.
The job involved sectioning off of the area, removal of all the contaminated topsoil, repair to underground pipework and eventually replacing fresh topsoil and regrowing grass over the top to create a safe and usable area for the students.
To achieve the task, large cement piers from a previously demolished building needed to be extracted and the trees had to be removed.
All removed soil was securely contained in plastic to prevent agains contaminating areas en route. The EPA Waste Locate system is always used to track any contaminated loads and ensure safe disposal.
Situated in Taree we service Bulahdelah, Gloucester, Port Macquarie, Kempsey, Taree, Bellingen and Grafton.
