Hazardous area electrical support for industrial sites.

Mobile Automation can assist with hazardous-area-related industrial electrical works where the correct scope, site classification, controls, documentation and competency requirements are confirmed.

Hazardous area electrical work must be approached carefully. Sites with flammable gases, vapours, dusts or other potentially explosive atmospheres have additional requirements around area classification, equipment selection, installation methods, inspection, documentation and ongoing maintenance.

Mobile Automation can support industrial customers with practical electrical works in and around hazardous area environments where the scope is suitable and the required compliance, competency, insurance and safety requirements have been reviewed before work proceeds.

Hazardous area electrical support Mobile Automation can provide

Mobile Automation can assist with hazardous-area-related electrical support within agreed scope, subject to site requirements and compliance review.

• Electrical support for industrial sites with hazardous area requirements
• Hazardous area project support where scope and documentation are confirmed
• Electrical installation support in controlled industrial environments
• Defect rectification support where the required controls and scope are approved
• Support around cable routes, containment, glands, terminations and field wiring
• Coordination with site engineering, safety and compliance teams
• Support for maintenance or upgrade works involving hazardous area equipment
• Assistance with practical documentation, photos and site notes where appropriate
• Coordination with hazardous area specialists, engineers or inspectors where required
• Electrical support for planned shutdowns or controlled access windows

Controlled scope and documentation first

Before hazardous area works proceed, the site should confirm the relevant classification, drawings, equipment details, inspection requirements, isolation requirements, permits, risk controls and any specialist involvement required.

Where a customer does not have the required documentation or classification information available, the first step may be to review what information exists and determine whether further specialist input is required before electrical work can be scoped properly.

Suitable for

This service may be suitable for industrial customers with hazardous area requirements, including:

• Manufacturing and process facilities
• Food and beverage production sites with relevant risk areas
• Chemical, coating, solvent or fuel-related environments
• Dust-producing industrial environments where classification may apply
• Process equipment and packaging areas with hazardous area requirements
• Maintenance teams managing hazardous area defects or upgrades
• Engineering and project teams planning works near classified areas
• Industrial sites needing electrical support alongside hazardous area specialists

Common requirements to confirm before work

Hazardous area works require more upfront information than standard industrial electrical works. The following items may need to be confirmed before Mobile Automation can assess the scope properly:

• Hazardous area classification drawings and zone details
• Equipment type, certification details and installation requirements
• Existing inspection records, defect lists or compliance documentation
• Permit, isolation and access requirements
• Site safety controls and supervision requirements
• Whether specialist hazardous area design or verification is required
• Whether work is inside a classified area or adjacent to one
• Shutdown windows, production constraints and environmental conditions

Working with site compliance and specialist parties

Hazardous area work often involves site engineering teams, safety managers, hazardous area inspectors, consultants, equipment suppliers, OEMs and maintenance teams. Mobile Automation can work alongside these parties where responsibilities and scope are clearly agreed.

If formal hazardous area design, detailed inspection, verification, classification review, compliance certification or specialist engineering advice is required, that work should be handled by appropriately qualified personnel before or alongside the electrical scope.
