In response to an emergency call from an overseas cement plant, our crew arrived within one week at the cement plant. The task at hand was to clean out an accumulation of rocks in the silo (see pictures). We were given 10 working days to complete the cleaning.

As a result of technical problems with their compressor, the plant was not able to provide us with the required air pressure and volume needed to clean the silo. Also due to process restrictions, it was required that the cleaned material be dumped on the ground at the bottom of the silo (see pictures).

Even with the limitations of the compressor and the need to remove the material from the ground, our crew was able to complete the cleaning process two days ahead of schedule. As a result of the SCS cleaning method, all of the cleaned material was recovered 90% of the material was bagged for sale and the balance was recycled.
