PPC Cement Hercules - Safe, Continuous  Access for a 48m High Silo in Operations

When Kwena Scaffolding was appointed to provide access for maintenance work on the 48‑metre‑high concrete silo at PPC Cement’s Hercules Factory in Pretoria, they faced a demanding brief. Continuous vehicle access was needed around the base, work would occur at significant height, and the site allowed no room for compromise on safety or workflow. To meet those requirements, Kwena partnered with Libra-Plant and turned to Layher.

SMART Civils & PT Systems were the appointed contrac‑tors to carry out the maintenance. Kwena Scaffolding took on the challenge of erecting the demanding scaffolding and providing the required access, doing so in close partnership with Libra-Plant and trusting Layher’s system to meet the project’s requirements.
