The challenge
Caked cement in silo No. 3 was limiting discharge, a recurring problem in silos exposed to tropical humidity.
The silo was isolated and cleaned from inside by our rope access team.
Scope of works
- Isolation of the silo and confined space permits
- Gas monitoring, ventilation and rescue standby
- Top-down removal of wall and cone deposits by rope access
- Handover of the cleaned silo
Outcome
Silo No. 3 was cleaned and returned to operation. Similar work was carried out on silo No. 3 in Martinique. See our silo cleaning services.
