Shell Beverwijk: Ground-Level Vent Access for Safer, Faster Maintenance

Introduction

Shell Beverwijk’s forecourt relied on elevated vent stacks that complicated maintenance and exposed staff to unnecessary risks. With compliance standards tightening, the operator needed a retrofit solution that improved safety without disrupting daily fuelling.

Understanding the Industry Problem

Elevated vent stacks expose operators to:

• working-at-height risks
• prolonged maintenance routines
• compliance challenges with modern safety standards

The Site Challenge

Shell Beverwijk needed safer vent servicing without disrupting daily trade, within a constrained forecourt layout.

What Berrys Engineered

• Easy Riser vent units tailored to site dimensions
• Ground-level servicing capability eliminating elevated access
• Custom installation sequencing to preserve fuelling capacity

Outcome and Long-Term Value

• Removed working-at-height hazards
• Faster, safer vent maintenance
• Improved compliance with corporate safety benchmarks

Conclusion

Shell Beverwijk’s retrofit replaced elevated vent stacks with engineered Easy Riser units, removing safety hazards and streamlining maintenance. The site now operates with improved compliance and reduced risk exposure.
