INTERNAL SILO CLEAN

Scope

• High-Pressure Water Blasting

• Remediation

• Waste Management

Overview

AAA Industrial Services was contracted to carry out an extensive internal silo cleaning operation. The silos, used for feed storage, required a deep clean to remove accumulated residues and contaminants, ensuring continued compliance with strict hygiene and operational standards.

The project encompassed:

• High-pressure water blasting of internal silo walls, floors, and fixtures.

  Careful removal of residual solids and debris via vacuum extraction.

  Adherence to confined space safety protocols, including gas monitoring and controlled access.

  Protective measures to prevent water ingress into electrical components.

  Final inspection and advisory on any potential relining or recoating requirements before re-commissioning.

Key Challenges

AAA Industrial Services overcame several challenges throughout the project:

• Confined Space Operations

  The project required strict adherence to confined space entry protocols, including the use of air monitoring, safety harnesses, and rescue provisions.

• Residue Build-Up & Cleaning Precision

  Thorough removal of feed contaminants was critical to preventing future hygiene issues, necessitating multiple high-pressure cleaning passes.

• Electrical Component Protection

  All electrical isolations and protections had to be confirmed before work commenced to prevent damage from water exposure

• Time-Sensitive Completion

  The cleaning had to be completed within a single shift to minimise downtime for the client’s operations.

Outcomes Achieved

AAA Industrial Services delivered a successful project outcome, achieving the following results:

• Effective Silo Decontamination

  Internal surfaces were restored to a clean, contaminant-free state, ensuring compliance with hygiene and operational standards.

• Safe & Efficient Execution

  The project was completed within a single shift, minimising disruptions and ensuring silos were ready for re-commissioning.

• Comprehensive Waste Management

  Residual waste was safely extracted and transported to an approved disposal facility, preventing contamination of surrounding areas.

• Operational Readiness Restored

  Upon completion, the silos were fully prepared for immediate use, eliminating downtime for the client’s storage operations.
