Silo Cleaning

Agora Services offer a complete silo cleaning service for square and round silos, bins, hoppers, filters, tanks and ancillary equipment (including handling equipment). Our staff are trained in confined space entry procedures, safe use of equipment and are fully conversant with health and safety requirements. Team members receive additional training to use a variety of specialist tools including (where required) gas monitoring equipment, escape sets, working B.A., rescue procedures, emergency first aid, oxygen resuscitation and CPR techniques, aerial platform work, forklift driving etc. Should additional certification/training be required to meet a clients stipulation this is undertaken before on site works commence.

Silo entry is gained only by the use of a full working man riding winch system, Agora have two types of winch system. Most situations we would use a Proman Digital winch and tripod. however, where space does not allow for this we also have a Didsbury Deco 2000 winch. Our operative sits in a boatswain's chair attached to the winch, and for fall arrest wears a safety harness attached to a separate lifeline.

Standard cleaning operations may be undertaken on either a schedule basis or alternatively "as and when" required. Where infestation may be present we are happy to work in conjunction with pest control operatives.

On completion of the work a full written report outlining our findings, action taken, and any recommendations will be sent to clients for their records. Method statements and risk assessments can be supplied prior to the commencement of work.

Silo Clearance

Agora Services operatives have experience of silo clearance, particularly in the milling and animal feed industries. Using the traditional method of man entry from the top of the silo we are able to control the silo clearance thus reducing the risk of bridged materials collapsing and causing damage to the silo or discharge machinery.

Our staff are confined space entry trained and certified. Only safe entry will be made, from the roof access, using a full working man riding winch system. No access will be made unless it is deemed safe to do so, and the correct equipment is used.

Please contact our Sales Team to discuss the advantages of the traditional method of clearance.

Silo & Tank Maintenance

With our experience of silo and tank design, manufacture, and installation, we also offer an inspection and repair service to extend the life of your silos and tanks. From our initial inspection we will make our recommendations in respect of the repair work required. On completion of the work a written report is issued outlining our findings and the scope of the work carried out.
