As decommissioning engineers, we were appointed to oversee the safe decommissioning of the former Chromic Acid chemical manufacturing unit, built in the 1960’s with production ceasing in 2002. The plant contained a number of raw and finished chemicals within the tanks, vessels, dryer unit and pipework, and LIVE electrical and mechanical equipment that fed the adjacent Chrome Oxide manufacturing unit.

The project involved developing a detailed strategy to safely carry out the following activities:

• Removal of Hazardous and Asbestos containing materials.
• Decontamination of any residual chemicals.
• Isolations and Disconnections of all services.
• Re-routing of LIVE services.

At D360, safety is always our top priority. The decommissioning phases were completed without any accidents or incidents, while ongoing manufacturing operations continued uninterrupted. This project showcases our ability to deliver safe, efficient, and operationally sensitive solutions.
