The SafeHouse Hot Work Habitat > Features

The best feature of the habitat is its simplicity. A standard habitat can be safely installed and its integrity proven in only a few hours. The installation of the habitat can normally be achieved with one Technician.

The habitat's modular flexible panels allow easy installation in all locations whether it is congested wellhead modules, confined void spaces, drill floors or open decks. The range of basic panels can overcome any complex or inaccessible application. All the panels are interchangeable and there is normally no requirement to cut or fabricate special sections. The panels are manufactured from high specification flame retardant material that is extremely durable.

There is no requirement for power or hand tools to assemble the habitat, a basic scaffold frame is all that is required to provide suitable anchor points.

All the component parts are lightweight. The heaviest element is the air-lock section which weighs 25kilos.

There is no waste. All the panels and equipment can be re-used for concurrent or progressive activities.

Air Change Calculator

The form below can be used to calculate an approximation of the air change rate/time for one change provided the habitat dimensions and fan output are known. The habitat must be at constant pressure to obtain good results.

Enter habitat dimensions, in metres, and click "Calculate volume". Remember to recalculate if you change anything. If you prefer you can skip this and input the volume directly.
