Man lift and AMS technicians replacing the roofing of a smelter building

The challenge

After the smelter stack, ENAMI went on to restore other buildings at the smelter: first the casting wheel building, then the coal mill building located behind it. The work had to be done above a smelter in full operation.

How we did it

Rope access technicians, supported by a man lift, removed and replaced facades, corrugated metal sheeting, PV6 industrial roofing and structure on both buildings. The casting wheel building alone took almost a year. Every stage required close coordination with plant operations and careful logistics so that no one was exposed.
