Tunnel Pigeon Waste Removal Case Study
When pigeon waste was needed to be removed and cleaned off high edges of an underground tunnel, NLR was called in. A scissor lift solution was undertaken in order to clean places otherwise hard to reach.
#Project highlights
95
meters of tunnel sporadically cleaned.
4
nights to clean 2 exits
2x
Petrol driven pressure pumps
1x
Waste extraction truck, to extract and dispose of waste safely.
#Damage caused
In an underground tunnel system, in two particular exits, pigeons frequented the high ledges of the area. As a result, the following elements were affected:
Concrete Walls
Concrete barricades
Road
Footpaths
Pipes
Light/Supports
#Result
All workers were site inducted and worked in conjunction with traffic control to minimise downtime of roads. The work was undertaken during the nights between 9 pm-4 am and was completed in 4 nights. Biohazardous material was removed using pressure hosing and was safe with a waste disposal truck service. Overall, the client was happy with the results.
