Project scope:
The scope involved the removal of 2 full Ammonium Nitrate Reaction Facilities, up to and including the absorption system. The storage facility was to remain intact for further use along with interconnecting services and the removal of electrical/mechanical/instruments from amongst the remaining live equipment.
The project timescale was 12 weeks. Material produced in this time for disposal to a licensed facility included 480 tonnes of Stainless Steel, 220 tonnes of Mild Steel, 120 tonnes of general waste, 36 tonnes of asbestos sheets and 11 tonnes of flock asbestos. The resale equipment generated was 1 Absorber, 1 Condenser and 2 Ammonia Compressors.
Working on mainland Europe presents its own specific individual issues but a well established system of work, from Method/Risk Assessments (with a process for any amendments) to a strategic auditing regime allowed continuation of work throughout, with day-to-day issues being addressed at both site and managerial level.
