PRESSURISED HABITAT HIRE · PERTH & DARWIN
Plan your hot-work habitat.
Safespear supplies Cocoon pressurised habitat systems and practical project support for planned hot work in hazardous areas. Our Perth and Darwin teams help define the enclosure, controls and supporting equipment around your worksite and scope.
A system built around the task
A pressurised welding habitat creates an enclosed, monitored workspace around the work area. The Cocoon enclosure, Einstein Control System and Toolstop work together: the enclosure defines the workspace, the controller monitors operating conditions, and Toolstop controls power to connected equipment in response to the system signals.
For welding, grinding or other planned hot work, discuss the task, surrounding equipment and access with our team. The final arrangement depends on the project requirements, certified configuration and site approvals.
What to send with your enquiry
- Site location, required dates and expected hire duration.
- Work description and the number of work locations.
- Drawings, photographs or a 3D model showing the work area.
- Available clearances, obstructions and access arrangements.
- Available power, ventilation and cooling requirements.
- Site hazardous-area classification and applicable project requirements.
These details help us assess the habitat layout, equipment selection and mobilisation scope before quoting.
Habitat hire questions
Can I hire equipment or arrange project support?
Both options can be discussed. Safespear offers habitat equipment and support covering planning, equipment selection, logistics, installation and disassembly. Tell us which activities your site team will manage so the quotation clearly defines the scope.
Can a habitat fit around existing plant and structures?
The Cocoon system uses modular panels. Send drawings and photographs of the proposed work area so we can assess a layout around existing structures, access points and obstructions. Suitability and final dimensions are confirmed during scope planning.
What certification information is available?
The system certificate and component datasheets are available in the technical downloads above. The listed certificate is IECEx EXV 23.0008X, Issue 0. Check the certificate, equipment instructions and conditions of use against the proposed configuration and site requirements.
Does a habitat replace the site's hot-work permit?
No. A habitat forms part of the project's hot-work controls. Site permits, risk assessment, hazardous-area requirements and the equipment's operating instructions still apply.
Where can I discuss mobilisation and availability?
Contact our Perth or Darwin team on 1300 080 298. Provide your site, dates and scope so we can confirm equipment availability, logistics and the support required.
