In this factory a chemical was made that gives car tires a longer lifespan. In order to be able to dismantle the production line safely, the installation first had to be intensively cleaned. First of all, the pipes were removed to make room for dismantling the reactor vessels and heat exchangers.
Due to the very limited space, DDM used hoists and rollers to move the equipment from their place. The parts were then lifted out of the building with a hydraulic crane. The final cleaning of the equipment took place in a spray area specially equipped for this purpose. A final inspection was subsequently carried out by the German TÜV.
The Quality and Health, Safety and the Environment policy is an ongoing process. That is why DDM is continuously working on improving all these areas to keep improving safety levels.
DDM was rewarded with a World Demolition Award in the Civils category.
Removing 5 arch bridges over the Amsterdam Rhine Canal was an intensive job. The schedule was tight and the expectations of all employees were high. But with a joint effort and incredible passion, DDM has successfully removed and recycled the 5 bridges within schedule.
Every year DDM holds a number of safety days to boost safety awareness.
Last year's objectives are evaluated and new objectives are determined. All managers and all operational employees discuss safety, policy and vision together. In addition to all regular training courses, DDM offers workshops and training to all employees during these days to take the qualities of the professionals to an even higher level. Together with all DDM employees, we are working on an increasingly higher safety ethic. Everyone at DDM carries out their work in a safe and healthy manner, with sufficient attention to the environment. And they're getting better at it. This applies to everyone; back to work healthy and safe and back home healthy.
