ESPI provides a hot work safety solution using specifically designed hot work habitats which enclose hot work activities in pressurized, fire retardant habitats allowing hot work to be carried out in a production environment without the need for shutdown. The habitats are totally flexible as regards space and size and can be provided with gas detection and shutdown systems for additional protection. The habitats are provided as a service with trained technicians for installation and management of the habitats during the hot work operation. As an additional service, ESPI can provide engineering assistance during hot work or planning activities and will carry out site surveys as part of this service.
