100% success, confirmed at Island View
TotalEnergies' project engineer put it in writing: 'a 100% success being achieved in getting the birds out of certain areas of our Island View site.' Petrochemical facilities combine open structure, warmth and height, ideal roosting, with an environment where corrosion, contamination and permit discipline all carry serious cost.
Bird control on a petrochemical plant or tank farm means exclusion engineered for permit-to-work, hot-work and confined-space conditions, protecting critical steel and instrumentation from corrosive droppings. BCS installs Spectre Net exclusion netting and applies the non-toxic Vamoose repellent gel under full site-safety compliance, each guaranteed in writing. Serving South African industry since 1987.
What birds actually cost you here
Corrosion on critical steel
Acidic droppings attack pipe racks, tank stairways, gantries and structural steel, compounding the corrosion load of a coastal industrial environment.
Fouling of instrumentation and equipment
Droppings foul valves, instruments, cable trays and walkway gratings, adding inspection and cleaning time to every maintenance round.
Safety on elevated access
Fouled ladders and platforms are a slip hazard for operators working at height in a high-consequence environment.
HSE audit findings
Bird colonies read as a housekeeping and hygiene failure in HSE audits, and nesting near flare and electrical systems adds ignition-adjacent debris.
Engineered for permit-to-work sites
BCS crews work under full contractor safety management, inductions, permits, gas-tested areas, certified work-at-height. Methods are non-toxic and non-sparking: gel application needs no hot work, drilling or power.
“TotalEnergies, Island View: '100% success... in getting the birds out.', Mickey P. Masuku, Project Engineer.”
How BCS solves it
Vamoose two-step gel protects pipe racks, ledges and steel for up to 5 years per treatment with zero toxicity. Spectre Net excludes birds from buildings, canopies and plant structures permanently, with an 8-year written workmanship guarantee.
