100% success clearing birds from a petrochemical terminal

Bird control at the TotalEnergies Island View fuel terminal in Durban, by BCS Bird Control Services

The challenge

Island View is one of the most demanding industrial environments in the country: a petrochemical tank farm and terminal complex where work happens under strict permit systems, and where bird fouling on structures, equipment and walkways carries corrosion, hygiene and safety consequences.

Our approach

BCS worked within the site's contractor safety and permit-to-work requirements to treat the affected structures. The methods used are non-toxic and require no hot work, critical in a hydrocarbon environment, and were applied to the specific areas where birds were roosting.

The result

The client confirmed in writing that the programme achieved 100% success in removing birds from the treated areas of the site.

“We have no hesitation in confirming a 100% success being achieved in getting the birds out of certain areas of our Island View site.”
