K2 is able to offer Hotwork Enclosures which are widely used in petrochemical and hydrocarbon industries. It creates a safe working environment that allows hotwork to be carried out in Zone 1 and Zone 2 hazardous areas, without the need to shut down the plant.
How it works:
The system provides a flexible, modular enclosure that creates a physical barrier between the hotwork carried out inside and the potentially explosive atmosphere that may be present in a live facility.
The equipment is equally suited to small work scopes like single welding repairs as it is to large-scale projects such as hook-ups that involve multiple, simultaneous hotwork activities for a prolonged period of time.
Where multiple installations are required, multiple units of Hotwork Enclosures can be easily and effectively combined. The modular design of the equipment allows the enclosures to be modified in size and shape, which is vital where the work space is restricted.
Hotwork Enclosures are installed and maintained on-site by K2's skilled, experienced staff. Our equipment and personnel (trained in fire-watch duties) are available for short or long-term hire.
