WELDING HABITAT:
ATEX & IECEX CERTIFIED SOLUTIONS
KEY FEATURES OF THE CAIRN COCOON WELDING HABITAT
Modular and Flexible Design
- Constructed from anti-static and flame-retardant material
- Adaptable and can be installed around any part of your energy facility, providing a robust barrier against ignition sources and flammable atmospheres.
Pressurization for Safety
- The habitat is maintained at a pressure of at least 25pa using a portable fan, ensuring that flammable gases cannot infiltrate through the habitat panels or openings.
- An air lock system maintains pressure during entry and exit, further preventing gas ingress.
Advanced Control System
- A sophisticated control system continuously monitors for flammable gases, toxic gases, oxygen depletion or enrichment, pressure, high temperatures, and airflow within and around the habitat.
- It automatically shuts down hot work tools in case of an alarm condition, and provides visual and audible alerts to ensure immediate awareness and action.
Customizable Modules
- The modular nature of our control system allows for the integration of additional devices such as gas detectors, emergency stops, and alarms, tailored to meet specific project risks and challenges.
