The challenge
In the humid Caribbean climate, cement inside silo No. 2 had caked on the walls and cone, reducing capacity and flow.
The silo was cleaned from inside with the same confined space and rope access method used across the plant.
Scope of works
- Lockout/tagout and confined space permits
- Continuous gas monitoring and ventilation
- Rope access top-down removal of caked cement
- Controlled discharge and handover
Outcome
Silo No. 2 was cleaned and returned to service. See the detailed account for silo No. 1 and our silo cleaning services.
