Maritime sector increasingly has asbestos removed

At the moment, preparations for the shipping industry orders are in full swing at Maritox Milieutechniek.

The first order pertains to 3 vessels of various tonnage, with which we will start in the middle of March 2015. From May 12th, there is a continuous work load from four different starting points in Europe. The activities are executed in non-stop shifts. Various asbestos applications are located in the machine rooms of the vessels. These are several asbestos sources, such as blowers, duct insulation and so on. In one of the vessels, Maritox will also execute an internal cleaning and disinfection of the air purification system.

Due to overpressure by air purification on the machine rooms, a number of prefabricated plastic cover units have been developed.

With this protection, local negative pressure removal can take place which secures safety at all times during the asbestos removal activities.

As soon as the partial removals are executed, the entire machine room will be post-treated with the Toxic Power Systems, so the rooms can be delivered 100% safe.

All documentation and release forms for the owners will be supplied in English.

The execution of the removals is executed according to Dutch legislature and SC 530.
