Confined Space Silo Cleaning

Confined Space Silo Cleaning using Rope Access

We were contacted by one o our long term clients to carry out some unsociable hours cleaning to a number of silo.

Risk & Method Statement were agreed along with a Safe System Of Work.

The work brief entailed entering the silo via the access hatch at the top, abseiling down the inside and de-contaminating the roof and walls and cone of the silo.

Due to the cones being fixed at the base of the silo.....and only a small hole for the excess product to be extracted from, we had to use a rescue winch which was attached to the entrant in case a rescue was warranted......we regularly practice mock rescues using this system.

 
Prior to entry a Peak Atmospheric reading is taken by lowering a 4 gas air monitor into the silo, once the readings are satisfactory then entry can be undertaken, our entrants all wear 4 gas air monitors whilst working in  Confined Space conditions  ......recording readings from the 4 gas air monitors every 5 minutes, these reading should be kept on file and handed over to the next company that carries out works in the confined space.

Rope Access Building Inspection and Surveys

Rope Access Building Inspection and Surveys

Our Team have been really busy during the winter period carrying out a huge amount of
water ingress surveys  and remedial works to stop the ingress.

Our latest water ingress problem was on a high rise tower block, water had been ingressing for some time even after remedial works had been carried out to try to prevent it......we were tasked to seal any and all joints to the roof of where the potential ingress could be coming from.

We applied bitumen paint and flash band to the joints in the roof and heat sealed this in place





We have also started another Rope Access Building Defect Survey Contract   for a Local Council in The West Midlands - we have been tasked to inspect 28 high rise tower blocks and log and record defects to the building structure.

Rope Access Building Inspections Birmingham

Building Inspection and Survey using Rope Access Methods

Our most recent project consisted of carrying out a full safety defect inspection to two large office blocks in Solihull.

The Building Managers had had reports of spalling concrete off the building.

Our Specialist Rope Access Team were tasked to carry out a full safety defect survey, logging and referencing any existing defects and new defects.

Any new defects were found by hammer testing the building surface for hollow points which could mean delamination of the substrate......this was then removed.


We had also been tasked to find out depth of cover to the re-bar using cover meters

 
After choosing the lowest point of cover, a sample was taken and a carbonation test carried out.
