With the advent of a collapsed scaffold inside the vessel ABC engaged High Impact Solutions to get involved and help find a solution. Our client had been utilizing rope access from a roof vent and a 4 inch vacuum hose prior to our engagement, completing 2 - 4 tonnes of removal per shift. The project goal was to achieve zero entry while increasing productivity and a faster return to service.
