Overview:
Williams Environmental was called upon to assist a major construction site with the identification and safe handling of several unmarked gas bottles. The bottles had been stored on-site for an extended period, with no clear indication of their contents, posing a potential safety hazard. The client needed a reliable solution to identify the contents of these cylinders and ensure their safe removal and disposal.
Challenge:
The primary challenge was that the gas bottles were unmarked, making it impossible to quickly determine the type of gas inside. Without this information, the bottles could not be safely moved or disposed of, increasing the risk of accidents. The client required a fast, accurate identification method to avoid project delays.
Solution:
Our team of specialists quickly responded, utilising their deep knowledge of cylinder identification to assess the bottles. By examining the shape of the neck and identifying coding and embossing patterns on the cylinders, we were able to accurately classify the type of gas contained within each bottle. This non-invasive approach allowed us to determine whether the gases were hazardous and how they should be safely handled.
Once the gas bottles were correctly identified, Williams Environmental arranged for their safe transportation and disposal in compliance with all hazardous waste regulations.
Client Review:
Williams Environmental exceeded our expectations with their expert knowledge and swift identification process. We were facing significant delays until their team stepped in and quickly identified each gas bottle on site. Their professionalism and thoroughness ensured the safe removal of potentially dangerous cylinders, allowing us to proceed without any further risk. We couldn’t recommend them more highly!
