The challenge
Deposits inside silo No. 22 were restricting discharge and reducing usable volume.
Even a 20 m silo is a dangerous confined space: dust, low oxygen and unstable material demand strict entry procedures.
Scope of works
- Confined space permits, isolation and continuous gas monitoring
- Rope access entry from the top of the silo
- Removal of wall build-up and cone deposits
- Final inspection and handover
Outcome
Silo No. 22 was cleaned and returned to service. The same team also cleaned silo No. 19 at this plant. See our silo cleaning services.
