Siemens and Giant Inflatables Industrial have worked together over the past 5 years developing cost
effective solutions for the routine maintenance of power turbine maintenance.
When carrying out maintenance on the precipitator at CS Energy's Callide B power station, workers
must enter a confined space. For the maintenance worker's safety, the area must be isolated using a
'double block and bleed' or a 'full pressure spade' to achieve an acceptable safety rating and for the
space to be assessed as low risk. This case study describes how GII helped create an award-winning solution.
Giant Inflatables Industrial was approached by Paul Freimanis â HSE Advisor at Jacinth Ambrosia Mine
and his team to design and build an inflatable air bag to fill the void under their MUP tracks. The idea
was to create an inflatable bladder to prevent dirt ingress and save an extensive manual handling task.
