The challenge
Bucket elevators are tall, enclosed and run non-stop. In a humid climate their casings corrode and wear, and a failure stops the line.
The plant asked for an inspection and maintenance of its bucket elevator.
Scope of works
- Access to the elevator casing at height
- Inspection of the casing and connections
- Maintenance works on the elevator
- Handover with findings
Outcome
The bucket elevator was inspected and maintained to support reliable operation. See the detailed bucket elevator NDT and patch welding in French Guiana and our bucket elevator case study.
