The Solution
We used our cold cutting system to safely cut a ‘saddle’ out of the tank to allow access for machinery to dig out the crystallized sodium. The chemical was then loaded into 205L drums for disposal. A chute was constructed which minimalised contact with the product and therefore removed further risks to the decommissioning team. Finally the tank was removed.

The Outcome
All materials disposed of safely and efficiently and a clean tidy site ready for a new use.
