PRESSURIZED HABITAT

Whenever hot work is required in potential explosive atmosphere, such as in Zone 1 & 2 classified hazardous areas of offshore and onshore Oil & Gas installation, pressurized Habitat systems provide a safe & controlled workplace with a minimal impact on production.

A robust process safety management system is central to any well-managed installation or site. By applying the hierarchy of controls when hot work is required, our pressurised hot work habitats provide the most effective engineering control measure available to manage and mitigate risk.

Having providing the Habitat service over 15 years, we are proven as a cost-effective solution to mitigate risk and remain compliant.

Control the risk using two key properties:

  • Containment – the flexible flameproof panel arrangement provides containment of the working area preventing the escape of sparks or welding slag.

  • Pressurisation – the controlled over-pressure within the habitat provides a barrier preventing the ingress of hydro-carbons or other hazardous gases during operation.

With proven expertise, advanced preservation techniques, and adherence to international standards, VGCE ensures asset longevity, operational efficiency, and cost-effective maintenance solutions for both onshore and offshore industries.

Fully certified pressurised hot work habitat system

The modular construction allows or pressurised habitat system to be installed to any required size and shape, incorporating penetrations such as structural beams and pipework with ease, ensuring that wherever the work site may be, our habitats can be installed.

The high rate of air change within the pressurised welding habitats, and the adjustable air extraction provide safe and comfortable working conditions during the hot work operations, removing noxious fumes as they are produced.
