Hazardous Areas

At Boschetti, we recognise the critical importance of maintaining high levels of safety in hazardous environments. Our team specialises in providing comprehensive electrical solutions designed to satisfy the strict requirements of hazardous areas in the Albury and Wodonga areas. Whether you are an oil and gas company requiring highly specialised electrical installations, a chemical processing plant needing explosion-proof electrical systems, or a mining operation seeking safe electrical services, we are here to ensure compliance and safety in all your projects, every step of the way. 

What is included in hazardous area work?

Electrical installations in hazardous areas must comply with stringent guidelines outlined in Australian standards and codes, such as the AS/NZS 60079 series. These standards govern the classification, design, and installation of electrical equipment within these classified zones.

At Boschetti, we are proud to be skilled hazardous area electricians and engineers. We are experienced in designing, installing and maintaining electrical systems that meet these rigorous standards, ensuring proper classification and installation to mitigate explosion risks. Examples include the essential practices of earthing and bonding, which are critical in hazardous areas. They prevent static electricity buildup and allow for the safe dissipation of electrical voltages, significantly reducing the likelihood of ignition in volatile atmospheres.

Our hazardous area services

At Boschetti, we specialise in the following hazardous area services:

HA Assessments, Classification + Dossier

Our team conducts comprehensive hazardous area assessments and classifications early in the design phase, continuously updating the dossier for total compliance with relevant standards.

Fully Designed + Documented

We provide complete electrical and control system designs for hazardous areas. We ensure thorough documentation to facilitate a smooth installation and ongoing adherence to safety regulations.

Installations in All Environments

We specialise in installing electrical systems in hazardous zones 0, 1, and 2, adhering to a strict regulatory framework that protects people and assets from potential sources of ignition. 

Explosive Environment Works

We manage projects in explosive environments, ensuring all electrical installations comply with Australian safety standards to reduce risks and safeguard both personnel and property.

Practical Risk Mitigation

We thoroughly assess project needs to develop cost-effective solutions that significantly reduce risks without introducing any additional hazards, challenges, or burdens to personnel. 

Ammonia Plants

With extensive experience in ammonia refrigeration, we ensure electrical controls and power wiring meet safety standards, while also working to optimise systems fully for operational efficiency.

Fuel Pumping Stations

We handle electrical installations and maintenance for fuel pumping stations, prioritising safety and compliance to minimise the identified risks associated with flammable materials.

Dust Environments

Qualified to work in these challenging areas, we manage electrical installations in environments with combustible dust, ensuring compliance with safety standards to reduce explosion risks.

Inspection + Maintenance

Our inspection and maintenance services include compliance audits and regular site inspections of Electrical Equipment in Hazardous Areas (EEHA), reducing risks and ensuring safe operation.

We prioritise safety and compliance in hazardous areas. We are supporting industries as they demonstrate their commitment to protecting personnel, property, and the environment from the inherent risks associated with flammable substances and combustible materials.
