Meets new blasting standards
June 1st 2008 A new protocol for Network
Rail contractors requires dust
generated during abrasive
blasting work to be
completely contained on site.
Sites have to be fully
enclosed and sealed, and dust
collected for disposal.
Shutdown Maintenance
Services (SMS) is now working
on its first project under the
new protocol – a contract to
re-paint an iron bridge over
the River Medway, involving
about 13,000mÇ of metal. The
blasting is being performed
with six Hodge Clemco blast
machines and two dust
collectors with special highefficiency
filters
Because of the size of the
site, Hodge Clemco has
installed remote emergency
stops on the blasting
equipment in order to
maximise operator safety. More articles from Hodge Clemco: |
