Case Study: Chevron achieves safe IT tower removal with Conbit’s custom access solution

Chevron removes a 16-meter corroded tower section with Conbit

Chevron Angola faced a significant challenge with a severely corroded 40-meter IT tower at its Malongo facility. The top 16-meter section of the structure was compromised and unsafe to access or maintain. The company enlisted Conbit to engineer a safe decommissioning solution for this damaged portion.

Conbit designed and implemented a custom modular aluminum access tower to provide secure anchor points for rope access technicians working in the highly confined space at the top of the structure. Using this system and handheld tools, Conbit's technicians safely dismantled and lowered the corroded section. The project was completed on time and without incident, successfully meeting all of Chevron Angola's safety and operational requirements.
