Over 700m in length with a level difference of 40m, the blowing line transports 12t plugs of cement from the main silos to the rail load out facility.
As part of the study into the severe vibration that is affecting the structure we were required to survey the entire length including flanges and fitting. Most of the detail could be obtained remotely from ground level however, where the pipe crosses the deep railway cutting, it necessitated set ups at high level.
Other surveys on going at the site include localised Topographical Surveys for a new installation and long term monitoring to the underside of a concrete floor slab.
