The challenge
Material build-up inside silos No. 6 and No. 4 had reduced storage capacity and affected discharge.
Internal cleaning of 30 m silos requires full isolation, safe entry and a method that never places workers beneath unstable deposits.
Scope of works
- Lockout of feed and discharge equipment before entry
- Confined space entry with gas monitoring, ventilation and rescue standby
- Top-down internal cleaning by rope access
- Removal of the material and handover of clean silos
Outcome
Both silos were cleaned and returned to normal operation. For sticky or hardened deposits we also use no-entry methods; see our silo cleaning and material flow services and other projects in North Macedonia.
