Utilising ultra-modern technologies, Whitkirk can offer a range of external or man-entry tank cleaning services.
Our experienced operatives are fully trained and certified in Confined Space Entry techniques (in accordance with the Confined Spaces Regulations 1997).
Prior to any cleaning work being undertaken, our experts make a full site visit to prepare risk assessments, method statements and permits to work. Our supervisors work closely with customer site staff to ensure their needs are met as well as observance of health and safety rules surrounding working in confined spaces.
Of course we ensure that the working area is completely safe for our operatives and no work is commenced until a 'Permit to Work' has been issued by our Team Supervisor. To deliver a safe and effective cleaning service where tank entry is required, our trained operatives may use breathing apparatus (where circumstances dictate) and all operatives follow strict safety guidelines surrounding ventilation, fumes, entry and emergency exit procedures.
