FOUND CHROMIUM VI? – WE’VE GOT IT COVERED.
Cr(VI) discovered on site doesn’t have to mean stopping work, bringing in another specialist contractor and waiting for a solution.
TES provides a complete, on-site Cr(VI) contamination management solution — from identification and testing through to controlled removal, neutralisation, verification and documented handover.
ONE TEAM. ONE SOLUTION. MINIMAL DISRUPTION.
THE COMPLETE Cr(VI) SOLUTION
From initial identification to final clearance
Chromium VI can be present within industrial environments without being visible to the naked eye. TES provides a structured approach to identifying, controlling and managing contamination throughout the work process.
Our Cr(VI) services include:
- Strategic screening and contamination assessment
- On-site Cr(VI) screening and detection
- Identification of potential contamination hotspots
- Controlled cleaning and residue removal
- Specialist Cr(VI) treatment and neutralisation
- Dust suppression and contamination controls
- Verification testing
- Area inspection and clearance
- RAMS and COSHH documentation
- Clearance and handover records
DISCOVERED DURING OTHER WORK? DON’T LET Cr(VI) STOP THE JOB.
Cr(VI) isn’t always part of the original scope of work. It can be discovered when teams are already on site carrying out maintenance, cleaning, inspection or repair.
TES already supports shutdowns, maintenance activities and industrial cleaning projects across Energy from Waste, biomass and power generation facilities. If Chromium VI contamination is identified during those activities, we can help assess the situation and support the implementation of appropriate control measures.
Our teams can assess the situation and provide the appropriate contamination control and removal support as part of the wider site operation.
Helping you minimise:
- Unplanned downtime
- Project delays
- Additional contractor mobilisation
- Disruption to other site activities
- The need to coordinate multiple specialist suppliers
Already working with TES? Then you already have the specialist support you need.
PLAN FOR IT BEFORE IT BECOMES A PROBLEM
Strategic sampling. Smarter preparation.
Where contamination is suspected or likely to be present, TES can use site history, previous sampling, client information, visual inspection and point-of-use analysis to identify potential contamination and hotspots. Strategic screening and surface testing can then help confirm the presence and distribution of contamination across the work area.
Our approach can include:
- Identifying areas where Cr(VI) is likely to be present
- Strategic sampling
- On-site Cr(VI) screening
- Surface testing
- Identifying contamination hotspots
- Determining the location and extent of contamination
- Using the findings to plan the appropriate controls and treatment
Find it early. Know where it is. Deal with it compliantly
TEST. TREAT. VERIFY.
A complete Cr(VI) solution, without unnecessary downtime.
TES can identify, control and treat Cr(VI) contamination as part of the work already taking place on site. Our structured approach means contamination can be assessed and dealt with efficiently — from initial detection through to inspection and documented hand back.
IDENTIFY
Find potential contamination and pinpoint hotspots through strategic sampling and testing.
CONTROL
Put the appropriate controls in place to safely manage the affected area.
REMOVE
Carry out controlled cleaning and removal of contaminated residues.
NEUTRALISE
Where appropriate, treat and neutralise Cr(VI) contamination.
VERIFY
Test and inspect to confirm the area has been effectively cleaned and controlled.
RELEASE
Complete the required verification and documentation process before recommending the area for return to service.
From discovery to clearance — all handled by TES.
Minimise hand-offs, reduce contractor interfaces and keep outage activities moving through a single coordinated approach.
WHERE CAN Cr(VI) BE FOUND?
Particularly within high-temperature industrial environments
Cr(VI) may occur within process residues and deposits associated with high-temperature operations. Potential areas include:
- Energy-from-Waste facilities
- Biomass plants
- Power generation sites
- Waste-to-energy boilers
- High-temperature process plants
- Heat recovery systems
- Boiler deposits
- Ash and dust accumulations
- Ductwork and flue gas systems
- Flue gas treatment systems
- Baghouse and filtration systems
- Refractory and insulation interfaces
WHY TES?
Keep the problem in one pair of hands.
Cr(VI) management doesn’t have to mean bringing multiple specialist contractors together. TES can support the process from assessment and detection through to cleaning, neutralisation, verification and handover.
TURNKEY SOLUTION
A complete approach to Cr(VI) contamination management.
ON-SITE CAPABILITY
Deal with contamination when it’s discovered during planned or unplanned works.
MINIMAL DISRUPTION
Address the problem without unnecessary additional contractor mobilisation.
STRATEGIC APPROACH
Identify potential contamination hotspots and plan controls before work begins.
VERIFCATION AND HANDOVER
Testing and inspection provide evidence that cleaning and contamination controls have been effective prior to hand back.
