Shell Pernis Refinery, The Netherlands
Project challenges
The Shell Pernis refinery is the largest in Europe and one of the largest in the world. Planning based maintenance includes regular inspections and upgrades of thermal and acoustic insulation, fireproofing and heat controls for the miles of pipeline.
More than sixty different plants with different refining capabilities process products through pipelines that would run about four times round the earth. The industrial complex covers a surface the equivalent of 800 football fields, making maintenance a massive and ongoing operation.
Insight onsite™
Harsco Infrastructure’s on site team averages 500 operatives, a figure that rises to about 750 at peak times. Between 30 and 50 powered access machines are in use at any one time, plus 20 telescopic forklifts and 15 special aviation tow trucks for transporting materials around this vast industrial complex. We have supplied 18,000 tonnes of scaffolding on site, 97% of which is constructed using CUPLOK®. This makes a more effective replacement to most of the traditional tube and fitting, being faster to both erect and dismantle.
