Our team follows best practices to ensure each installation is executed with the highest standards of care and efficiency, minimising operational risks and maximising system reliability.

What is Complex Gas Installation?

Complex gas installation refers to the process of setting up gas systems in environments where multiple variables—such as high risk, unique conditions, and stringent regulations—must be considered. These installations are typically more intricate than standard gas systems and require advanced planning, skilled technicians, and adherence to specific safety standards. 

These installations are essential for ensuring operational safety, efficiency, and regulatory compliance, especially in high-risk, hazardous environments. The expertise of professionals like Redrock Contracting is vital to ensure these systems are installed and maintained to the highest standards.

Installation Practices by Redrock Contracting

When dealing with complex gas installations in hazardous environments, the stakes are high. Whether it’s a petrochemical plant, industrial processing site, or mining facility, safety, precision, and compliance are critical. Expert handling by Redrock Contracting ensures not only smooth operations but also the protection of workers, assets, and the surrounding environment. 

Some best practices carried out by Redrock Contracting in tackling complex gas installations in challenging conditions are as follows:

•  Comprehensive Risk Assessment: Before any installation begins, a thorough risk assessment is essential. We identify and evaluate the potential hazards, including flammable gases, high-pressure systems, corrosive materials, and environmental conditions.

•  Compliance with Industry Standards: In Australia, gas installations in hazardous areas must adhere to stringent regulations and standards. We ensure compliance with AS/NZS 60079, AS 3814, and AS 5601. These standards govern everything from the selection of equipment to installation procedures, ensuring all components are suitable for hazardous environments. Non-compliance can lead to catastrophic consequences, including fire, explosions, or regulatory penalties.

•  Selection of Certified Equipment: The equipment used in complex gas installations must be certified for use in hazardous zones. We select materials and components based on pressure ratings, gas compatibility, and durability in corrosive and high-temperature environments.

•  Meticulous Installation Processes: We follow a step-by-step, methodical approach to installation. First, we ensure the area is safe and free of ignition sources. Second, we use certified materials and conduct pressure testing to ensure no leaks. We then integrate proper ventilation systems to disperse flammable gases and prevent build-up. 

•  Ongoing Testing and Commissioning: Once installation is complete, rigorous testing and commissioning are performed to verify system integrity and safety. We document all tests and ensure compliance with industry standards before handing the system over for operation.
