Our Confined Space Cleaning Process
Risk Assessment & Preparation
Every confined space cleaning operation begins with a thorough site survey and risk assessment. We identify hazards—such as toxic atmospheres, limited access and structural issues—and implement safe systems of work (SSOW) to protect your staff and property. Our detailed method statements and permit-to-work procedures mean you can rest assured that every step is planned and logged.
- Comprehensive HSE-compliant risk assessments
- Permit-to-work coordination with your site manager
- Isolation of utilities and ventilation checks
- Emergency rescue planning and standby personnel
Specialist Equipment & Techniques
We deploy industry-leading tools—such as industrial vacuums, high-reach booms and confined-space pumps—to remove sludge, debris and hazardous residues. Our versatile equipment adapts to any tank, pit or vessel geometry, ensuring deep, uniform cleaning. From pressured water lancing to dry-ice blasting, we select the right method for your surface and contaminants.
- High-pressure lancing and steam cleaning
- Non-abrasive dry-ice blasting
- ATEX-approved lighting and ventilation
- Remote-controlled robotic cleaning where required
