The challenge
Material had built up inside silo No. 2, reducing capacity and affecting discharge.
Our team mobilized from our African operations to clean the silo under strict confined space procedures.
Scope of works
- Isolation of the silo and confined space permits
- Gas monitoring, ventilation and rescue standby
- Rope access top-down cleaning of walls and cone
- Removal of the material and handover
Outcome
Silo No. 2 was cleaned and returned to service. Our Sub-Saharan teams, based in Harare, also work in Zimbabwe and Zambia. See our silo cleaning services.
