Soft-Sided Pressurized Welding Enclosures
|
Installation techniques begin with a Silicone Rubber Flame Resistant Fabric which as has
been incorporated into SafeZone’s Soft Side Panel designs to be used as the base
foundation for all enclosure walls and ceilings. Each panel is 4’ x 4’ in size and will attach
by a 4” thick flame retardant Velcro material.
All panels have sewn on straps that allow them to be attached to the
scaffolding frame. In areas where heavy
amounts of hot work will be performed, an additional barrier will be installed
made of carbon fiber cloth that is rated fire proof (3000 degrees
F). Support for the deck is typically
the base of a scaffolding system or the deck of the production facility or
drilling rig. All enclosures assembled
are designed for temporary cutting & burning inside the enclosure and will
be dismantled soon after work stoppage.
In the event that the deck of the enclosure is not
located directly on a solid steel deck, the following flooring construction
methods will apply: The first layer of material over the bottom floor/deck will
be a carbon fiber cloth material that is rated fire proof (3000 degrees F
continuous). This material is a soft
1/8” material that will cover the area where the cutting, burning and welding will
take place. Over the layer of carbon
fiber material will be placed 4’ x 4’ floor panels that have a 0.010” Stainless
Steel sheeting fabricated into the silicone rubber flame retardant material. This
is applicable on Enclosures that are either suspended above a solid deck or
where the enclosure platform is on a grating deck. Penetrations of piping, tray systems, etc.,
through any deck, wall or ceiling, special precautions will be used to seal
these areas. In some instances the
carbon fiber material may be used to help seal these penetrations.
