ATEX & IECEX CERTIFIED hotwork HABITAT SYSTEMS FOR marine SAFETY

Welcome to Safe Zone Habitats – The Premier Provider of Marine & Maritime ATEX & IECEx Habitats

At Safe Zone Habitats, we understand the critical importance of safety and reliability in the marine and maritime industry. We pride ourselves on being your ultimate source for high-quality ATEX and IECEx habitats, specifically designed to meet the demands of hazardous and potentially explosive environments in the maritime sector.

Our solution Safe Zone is a full ATEX and IECEx approved habitat system that is suitable for Zone 1 and Zone 2 environments. Our system is a vital solution for hot work within the marine and maritime industry. These habitats provide a safe and secure environment for workers to conduct welding and other hot work activities on vessels, such as oil rigs and ships, without the risk of fire or explosion. By containing sparks and slag within the habitat and maintaining a controlled over-pressure, the habitats prevent the ingress of flammable gases and dusts, ensuring the safety of the workers.
The use of these habitats can also help to prevent expensive returns to dry docks. By conducting hot work in a controlled environment, the risk of damage to the vessel is greatly reduced. This means that less frequent dry dock visits are required, saving time and money for the company. Additionally, by ensuring that hot work is carried out safely and in compliance with ATEX and IECEx standards, the risk of accidents or incidents is greatly reduced, further reducing the likelihood of costly repairs or downtime.

So regardless if you have a crack in your hull, a broken chain, welding required in your engine room or something else, our Safe Zone System can help

This is achieved by minimising potential ignition sources and adhering to strict safety guidelines to protect personnel whilst conducting dangerous Hotwork activities

HSEQ Compliance

Safe Zone Habitat systems comply with stringent HSEQ (Health, Safety, Environment, and Quality) guidelines and industry regulations. These systems enable marine companies to exhibit their dedication to upholding the most elevated safety standards and prevent potential fines, penalties, or shutdowns resulting from non-compliance.

Protecting Production

By using Safe Zone Habitat system to perform hot work and welding on live vessels can avoid returning into a dry dock, which can result in significant revenue loss. This ensures that the financial performance of the company remains strong and stable while necessary maintenance or modifications are carried out.

Preserving Assets

Our Safe Zone systems are designed to protect your valuable assets by mitigating the risks associated with hot work and welding operations in live facilities. By using advanced technology and robust materials, we help extend the lifespan of your equipment and infrastructure, ensuring long-term reliability and reducing maintenance costs.

Reducing Shutdowns

With safe zone habitat systems, oil companies can perform work on live facilities without halting production. This enables faster project completion, as work can be carried out continuously without waiting for shutdown periods. As a result, projects can be executed more efficiently, meeting deadlines and reducing overall project costs.

Flexible & Modular

Safe Zone's habitat systems are meticulously engineered to offer exceptional adaptability and customisation, ensuring a seamless fit for every installation, regardless of project complexity or size. Our team of experts collaborates with you to analyse your specific requirements, assess your operational environment, and devise bespoke solutions that cater to your unique needs.

Cost benefits of using a safe zone pressurised habitat system?

The Safe Zone, Positive Pressurized Hot Work ATEX & IECEx certified habitat system offers significant cost benefits when compared to dry docking for repairs in the maritime and marine industry. On average, dry docking a vessel incurs substantial costs, including lost revenue from halted operations, docking fees, labour expenses, and maintenance costs. The habitat system mitigates these expenses by providing a secure, controlled environment for hot work activities, such as welding and cutting, while allowing the vessel to remain operational at sea.

By maintaining safe operating conditions, the system significantly reduces the risks associated with explosive atmospheres, ensuring compliance with ATEX and IECEx standards. This innovative technology pays for itself immediately, as the savings generated from continuous operations far outweigh the initial investment in the habitat system. In summary, the Safe Zone habitat system not only enhances safety measures but also delivers substantial cost savings by preventing costly dry docking and enabling uninterrupted maritime operations
