Oleon, global experts in natural chemistry and sustainable oleochemical production, have invested in class-leading safe tanker access solutions at its Goole facility.
With hundreds of tankers visiting the facility each year, upgrades have delivered improvements to operational efficiency and helped to minimise risk of accidents.
To implement the solution, Oleon appointed Yorkshire based steel fabricators Tadweld Limited, who offer a range of specialist tanker access solutions under their AJAX safe access brand.
At the James Street site in Goole, Tadweld have installed a full gantry system combined with a Pneumatic Ajax Step Unit, providing safe, permanent access to tankers with enhanced usability and safety.
At Oleon’s New Potter Grange Road site, Tadweld have delivered a set of the company’s mobile tanker access steps, offering a compact, flexible access system that can be easily manoeuvred.
Andrew Akins, Health and Safety Manager said:
“Tadweld understood our access challenges and delivered tailored solutions for each site. Both solutions have improved safety and efficiency. The whole process was seamless and professional. From the initial project meeting, design and solution development, Tadweld understood our desire to achieve best practice for our team and delivered a solution that works for us. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.”
Chris Houston, Managing Director at Tadweld, said:
“Ajax tanker access systems have set the industry benchmark for over 40 years. With over 1,000 units installed around the UK, we’re proud that Oleon chose Tadweld to achieve their health and safety objectives”
“Working with Oleon has been a great example of how collaboration across departments – from safety to logistics – can produce outstanding results,” added Mike Godbert, Business Development Manager at Tadweld.
