Aerem Environmental was engaged by March Cato to provide end-to-end asbestos and contaminated land services at a development site on Captain Springs Road, Auckland.
Project Overview
Aerem Environmental was engaged following a fire at the Marist Rugby Club premises in Mount Albert. The incident caused significant damage to the building structure, resulting in the disturbance of asbestos-containing materials and requiring urgent remediation to ensure safety for club members, contractors, and the community.
- Aerem Environmental provides specialist asbestos consultancy and compliance services for the Auckland War Memorial Museum as part of a complex, multi-stage remediation programme in one of New Zealand’s most significant heritage buildings.
- Our role includes developing and advising on safe removal methodologies tailored to the museum’s operational and heritage requirements, conducting continuous air monitoring using our on-site mobile laboratory, and undertaking staged clearance inspections in line with WorkSafe NZ regulations.

- Providing technical consultancy on asbestos removal methodology post-fire.
- Conducting background, control, and clearance air monitoring throughout removal works.
- Performing four-stage clearance inspections to verify all asbestos hazards were eliminated before reoccupation.
- Delivering detailed compliance documentation in alignment with WorkSafe NZ regulations and insurance requirements.
Outcome
Aerem’s rapid response and thorough technical oversight enabled the safe and compliant removal of asbestos from the fire-damaged site. Our work ensured the facility could progress toward repair and reoccupation with full confidence in its safety.
