Safehouse Pressurised Habitat Systems

Keeps sparks in. Keeps gas out.

Safehouse Pressurised Habitat Systems Overview

Safe hot work in hazardous areas without shutdowns

Safehouse pressurised habitat systems enable safe hot work and use of non-Ex equipment in Zone 1 and Zone 2 hazardous areas, without shutting down operations.

Trusted globally across oil & gas, energy, and industrial sectors, Safehouse habitats create a sealed, positive-pressure environment that prevents flammable gas ingress while containing ignition sources.

The result: safer worksites, uninterrupted production, and complete regulatory compliance.
