👉 Asbestos engineering involves the application of knowledge and techniques to design, analyze, and maintain structures and systems that incorporate asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) in a safe and efficient manner. Engineers assess the properties, behavior, and potential risks associated with asbestos fibers to ensure compliance with safety regulations and minimize exposure during construction, renovation, or demolition activities. This includes evaluating the mechanical strength, thermal insulation, and fire resistance of asbestos products, as well as developing strategies to control and mitigate asbestos-related hazards. Asbestos engineering also focuses on the development of innovative materials and techniques to replace or encapsulate ACMs, reducing their environmental impact and health risks while maintaining structural integrity and performance.
