Abfad Ltd News and PressNostalgia Running Wild!
Whilst clearing out some old boxes in the office, we came across a little piece of nostalgia from some of the first work we did down in Connah’s Quay Power Station for Powergen, over 16 years ago!
We still work in the same power station to this day, although Powergen are now called E.ON, providing rope access services for maintenance and repair during shutdowns. As well as providing plenty of Emergency Rescue and Safety Cover for E.ON’s personnel working at height or within Confined Spaces.
VERTICAL Entry and Rescue – Confined Spaces
A confined space is any space of an enclosed nature, where any danger of death may exist, from any number of sources. Working in confined spaces is a dangerous activity and should only be done if absolutely necessary, with a completed risk assessment identifying any and all risks that could be present, putting into place all safety measures to ensure the welfare of workers. These safety measures should include the provision of a specially trained and equipped rescue team, who can, if an emergency situation arises, perform the necessary assessment and rescue.
Storage Tank Corrosion And Prevention
With the introduction of Ethanol into the fuels we use, as a method of reducing greenhouse gasses and to lower the use of carbon fuels commonly associated with road transport, there is an increasing need to protect storage tanks from the corrosion caused by these bio-fuels. Adding Ethanol to fuel provides a method of high octane for increased engine performance as well as the environmental and economic advantages that this type of fuel can provide, such as decreasing the harmful emissions from vehicle exhausts.
