If you're looking for the Unreal Tournament 2003 and Unreal Tournament 2004 version of the map, you might want to check DM-Asbestos (UT200X map).
"The scrubs do their best to clean up the remains of each battle, but it's never enough. The tarnish and rust slowly devour the last few pristine surfaces, as entropy and blood sport have their way. It's like they say. Asbestos, it'll kill you."

Prima Official Guide[]
"Asbestos is a big, sprawling Deathmatch map with goodies galore. Unlike many maps, Asbestos is not symmetrical. Every area is different. Knowing this map well is critical to success. Play it a couple of times against no enemies until you can get anywhere from anywhere else.
The map breaks down into three segments. Learn the large areas first and then explore how they connect. The map doesn’t really do this deep level justice. The best way to learn where important objects are is to scout it carefully yourself.
Deathmatch Strategy
You won’t find many simple Deathmatch strategies for this large and complex map. You just have to develop your overall Deathmatch skills. You can, however, use a couple of Asbestos-specific tricks to move up the points ladder.
First, know how to get the shield and double damage power-ups. The super shield pack is not easy to acquire. You must know how to get it fast when it spawns.
Bolt out the one door that faces the super shield pack on the ground level, run up the ramps (don’t use the elevator), go past the pool with the rocket launcher in the middle, and then down the far corridor. When you get to the end, run along the pipes, jump on the generator, and then jump to get the super shield.
Better yet, jump up along the structure adjacent to the stairway and at the corner of the open platform facing the super shield.
If you’re comfortable with the rocket launcher and flak cannon, stick to them. You can do well, although you have to hunt down your prey all over the map.
Survival Strategy
Asbestos is not the best Survival map in Unreal Championship. If you do decide to play here, the strategy is straightforward: Get the power-ups.
Don’t even worry about the other guy unless you stumble on each other. Just grab as many good power-ups as you can. If you time your pattern well, you can get to the power-ups just before they spawn by the second or third trip. When you do eventually run across your opponent, he won’t stand a chance.
Team Deathmatch Strategy
In Asbestos, Team Deathmatch often breaks down into complete chaos. That’s okay. The smart solution is to let everyone do his or her thing, as long as your team communicates well. Knowing that an opponent has been weakened can get a teammate a quick kill. The more you communicate, the better your team does.
Single-Player Strategy
The bots are tough in this level, which makes it one of the most enjoyable single-player Deathmatch maps. They don’t seem to go after the double damage power-up very often, so make sure you always get it when it spawns. Then you can use the lightning gun or even the shock rifle to deal instant death to your enemies.
Sniping Spot
Sniping is effective from the right spot. One of the best positions is behind the lightning gun. Grab your weapon, get in position, and shut down the many enemies that try to enter.
Kill Zone
Many places on this map could be considered kill zones. The room with the large generators where the super shield spawns is a great place to set up shop. Inside is a flak cannon, and a rocket launcher is in a room nearby. Pick up both and camp here. Everyone comes to you eventually."
