| CVRD Inco - 500 ton bin project |
|
In spring/summer 2007, Continental Insulation was contracted by Vale (Inco) to remove asbestos cement from a 500 ton bin in the matte process area of the Copper Cliff Smelter. The structure requiring removal was 7 storeys high!
The work involved a complicated scaffold setup and an elaborate asbestos hoarding with floors 1-3 and 4-7 linked together in 2 multi-level enclosures. With over 12 men on the project, it took over a month just to complete the setup.
The project was successfully completed in June 2007.
