Project
Overview
During Whareroa’s annual winter shutdown, Geovert was tasked with conducting comprehensive inspections of critical powder bins, dryers, and ducting systems. The scope extended beyond inspections to include immediate welding repairs where defects were identified. The project required strict programme control to meet the client’s production restart deadline while managing confined space access and hygiene requirements.
