New Lease of life for Old Factory

Aston Cord Energy Services are installing one of the largest forced dried wood chip facilities in Wales. On Friday 3rd March the four buffer tanks arrived.

Positioning the tanks in the existing building was a difficult task due to their size and the tight access. Aston Cord Energy Services enlisted the expert lifting team at King Lifting to support us with this part of the project. Using two versa lifts we were able to position all four cylinders in the tight space ready to be piped up. Each tank will hold 20,000 litres of hot water supplying heat for 8 drying floors. The four biomass boilers will arrive this week. 
Raising the cylinders was done using both lifting machines to ensure no damaged caused to the outer casing. 
All four cylinders positioned in line, each one will be supplied by a 1MW Biomass Boiler.
