The challenge
Abrasive cement flow wears down silo interiors and their coatings. Before planning its maintenance budget, the plant needed an accurate record of the condition inside each silo.
Each silo was emptied and entered under confined space procedures.
Scope of works
- Confined space entry with permits and continuous gas monitoring
- 360° visual inspection of walls, cones and discharge areas
- Recording of cracks, spalling and coating damage with photos
- Condition logs and maintenance recommendations
Outcome
The plant received a complete condition record for each silo. Where inspections reveal build-up or blockages, our teams follow with silo cleaning. Read how an inspection led to emergency works in the silo stabilization case study.
