 Irish Cement (Cork)
About the Irish
Cement Project
Client
requirements
Due to the high risk of
explosion/fire Modubuild were asked to provide a lining system to
provide fire and explosion protection to the inside of an 18mtr high
curved silo where powder cement is loaded into tankers in Cork Harbour
so as to prevent damage to adjoining buildings in the event of
explosion.
Modubuild
Solution
Install a
support framework to inside of the silo onto which 9.5mm Durasteel
panels were fixed at appropriate centers. The project was extremely
complex due to the fact that wall was an 18mtrs high and curved. The installation was completed without
interfering with clients loading operations. Works were carried out in
very limited space and Modubuild had to ensure that Articulated Trucks
Could be loaded as soon as they arrived (On average 2 trucks per hour)
