Plant design in hazardous areas according to ATEX
We are definitely the right people to contact for all questions relating to explosion protection. We take care of plant planning in hazardous areas in accordance with ATEX and ensure legally compliant, technically flawless, and practical implementation. This is based on the identification of hazardous areas, a comprehensive safety assessment, and planning and implementation in accordance with the latest technical regulations.
Planning, documentation, and implementation
We also support you in all environmental law matters and handle contact with the relevant authorities.
