Case Study - Abrasive Cold Cutting - Decommisioning Volatile Pressure Vessels on a Petro-Chemical Site
In addressing the complex task of decommissioning pressure vessels containing volatile chemicals, Gnat UK prioritised a safety-first approach, ensuring a smooth and risk-free process
To minimise potential risks of explosion, we chose Abrasive Cold-Cutting as the safest method available. Our skilled team utilised state-of-the-art ultra high-pressure hydro abrasive cutting equipment and track-based manipulators to remove the top of the vessels with precision and control
After completing the cutting phase, we diligently cleared any remaining chemical residue with the help of Hazardous Waste Removal Specialists.
Additionally, we took great care to environmentally clean and decontaminate the Bunded Area
While the process was deliberate and slow-paced, safety and precision were of paramount importance to us. Our Cold-Cutting team meticulously broke down the vessels into manageable sections for safe removal from the work area using cranes
This project demonstrated the effectiveness of Cold-Cutting in ensuring safe and accurate deconstruction in volatile environments
At Gnat UK, we pride ourselves on our commitment to safety and expertise, especially when handling challenging tasks of this nature
