The issue
The three rows of bricks at the top of the chimney were out of use.

MCC2I's solution
MCC2I introduced specific internal access routes so work could be carried out in total safety. All of the bricks and seals over around 18m were replaced.

The issue
The plant was being converted so it could use natural gas rather than heating fuel.

MCC2I's solution
MCC2I carried out the piping work, which involved installing a metal pipe in the chimney so that the bricks were no longer in contact with the smoke.
