Your ATEX areas inspected, documented, compliant.
Atlantic Engineering specialises in explosive atmospheres. We inspect equipment installed in hazardous areas, produce your DRPCE and support you through to the closing out of non-conformities.
ATEX in brief
An ATmosphere EXplosive (explosive atmosphere) forms when a gas, vapour or combustible dust mixes with air. A spark or a hot surface can then cause an explosion.
Areas where this risk exists must be identified, and the equipment installed there must be suitable and inspected. That is our job.
Our sectors
- Oil & Gas, onshore and offshore
- Chemistry
- Energy
- Industry
ATEX zones
Permanent presence
Explosive atmosphere present continuously, for long periods or frequently. Example: the inside of a tank or silo.
Occasional presence
Explosive atmosphere likely to form during normal operation. Example: around a filling point or a vent.
Accidental presence
Explosive atmosphere not likely to form during normal operation, or only for a short time. Example: a leak on a flange.
The tool that makes the difference in our inspections
We developed the very first French ATEX inspection software. It integrates artificial intelligence specialised in French and international ATEX regulations.
- Planning and follow-up of inspections
- Digital report with geolocation of each device and assessed criticality level
- Traceability of interventions and non-conformity alerts
- Built-in ATEX AI trained on regulatory texts, standards and field experience
Our ATEX services
From the ATEX study to acceptance of the work, a single point of contact for your explosion-risk areas.
ATEX inspections
Regulatory inspection of equipment installed in hazardous areas, with a digitised report: geolocation of each device and assessed criticality level.
Inspections are recurring: your installations are tracked from one campaign to the next in ATEXpert.
