Controls and electrical in one company · WA electrical contractor IKONIAL745N4

LNG and gas-fueled vessels

We do electrical and controls work in the hazardous areas of LNG-converted and gas-fueled vessels, to IEC standards. Seven of our people hold IECEx Certificates of Personnel Competence.

What we do

Install and wire hazardous area rated equipment in gas fuel spaces
Visual, close and detailed inspection of hazardous area installations
An inspection report that lists each defect found
Pre-commissioning inspection of new hazardous area installations
Controls and electrical work around the gas fuel system, in port, in the yard and underway

Controls and inspection in one project

When a PLC or instrumentation upgrade touches equipment in a gas zone, we also inspect that equipment and write the inspection report as part of the same project.

What the certificates cover

Each of our seven certificate holders has the same four units:

Ex 001Basic principles of protection in explosive atmospheres
Ex 003Installing explosion-protected equipment and wiring systems
Ex 007Visual and close inspection of explosion-protected equipment
Ex 008Detailed inspection of explosion-protected equipment

Why IEC standards

Gas-fueled vessels are built to the IMO IGF Code, which calls for IEC hazardous area standards. The U.S. Coast Guard accepts the same standards on U.S.-flag vessels. Coast Guard policy for LNG-fueled vessels (CG-OES 01-15) says people who inspect and maintain electrical installations in explosion hazardous spaces should be qualified under IEC 60079-17. Our certificates cover installation to IEC 60079-14 and inspection to IEC 60079-17. About the IECEx personnel scheme
