The ‘patch now, repair later’ mentality is common in operational maintenance. However, patching, cold cutting and bolting actually cost more in the longer term. Today, API Standards recommend high quality repairs, which require hot work such as welding. And, for proper maintenance to be carried-out at the time when it is needed, rather than deferred.

We’ve helped organisations cut tens of millions of dollars in asset management costs.

Perform full repairs on live plants and producing assets

By using SAFEHOUSE ATEX certified habitats, you can carry out full repairs on live sites safely. Our hot work habitats secure the integrity of your offshore and onshore installations. Meaning, you do not need to risk further operational integrity issues by delaying maintenance until shutdown. By enabling SIMOPs, the use of our habitats can make savings by avoiding the need for unplanned shutdowns.

Protect your assets without impacting production

The overwhelming cost, value and quality advantage of hot work far outweigh the alternatives, such as cold cutting and bolting. Habitats allow the quality, long-lasting maintenance to be carried out on live plants. This ensures long term structural integrity – the key to protecting assets in corrosive environments.
