The challenge
Thermal variation, weather and vibration had caused cracking and spalling on the external surfaces of the cement silos. Loose concrete or coating can fall without warning onto roads and walkways below.
The plant needed every risk point found and ranked before planning repairs.
Scope of works
- Systematic visual inspection of all silo elevations by rope access
- Hammer sounding to locate hollow and delaminated areas
- Defect mapping and risk classification of each zone
- Inspection report with a prioritized repair plan
Outcome
All critical spalling and delamination zones were mapped, giving the plant a clear basis for safe, targeted repairs. Explore our structural inspection services.
