CASE STUDY
Mould Remediation & Confined Spaces Entry, Food Manufacturing Facility
The Problem / Issue
Clear Protect Group, a leading provider of industrial cleaning and food safety solutions, was recently approached by a premier New Zealand food production facility to address a critical issue. The challenge involved contamination within the facility’s HVAC ductwork that was significantly affecting product quality and integrity.
The contamination had led to mould issues, which had a direct impact on the quality of the food products, resulting in a spike in customer complaints. Clear Protect Group’s expertise in resolving HVAC-related microbial problems was sought to mitigate these issues promptly and effectively.

When faced with the critical task of decontaminating a food production facility’s HVAC system, Clear Protect Group’s skilled team executed a detailed food safety-first approach. Our solution was twofold: ensuring the utmost safety during the confined spaces work and delivering a thorough sanitation process that left the system in pristine condition.

Testing & Analysis
Before cleaning, strategic swab tests in ducting areas provided insights for an informed strategy and samples sent to independent lab offered detailed analysis for targeted cleaning approach.
Expert Removal & Cleaning Techniques
Internal insulation removal uncovered significant contamination. ‘Triple-pass’ cleaning, including scrubbing, vacuuming, and sanitisation, was applied systematically.
Proactive Prevention Measures
Triple-pass’ deep cleaning aims to prevent future mould growth. Prompt sealing of ducting post-treatment prevents new contaminants, ensuring ongoing protection.
Attention to Detail
Cleaning efforts extended beyond ducting to surrounding environment, including comprehensive sweeping, vacuuming, rubbish removal and fogging to further safeguard against airborne contaminants.
