Confined Space Entry - Technical Overview and Specification

All tank and vessel entries are potentially dangerous. Whenever possible, operatives will use remote cleaning techniques. If and when confined space entry is required, Sureclean personnel work under exact and detailed procedures, including task specific safety and escape routines using the correct breathing apparatus and atmospheric monitoring.

Innovative filtration process for the air purification unit converts compressed air to high quality breathing air
Monitors are calibrated in house to ensure operational integrity, irrespective of the conditions in which they are deployed
Lights, transformers and cables utilise multi-component Ex low voltage lighting system giving operational flexibility and enhanced safety
Three stage back up system provides consistent air supply - main air umbilical, trolley mounted cylinders and an escape set worn by the operative
