ATEX & Hazardous Area Container Systems
Certified container systems engineered for operation in ATEX Zone 1 and Zone 2 hazardous environments.
Explosion Risk & Hazard Area Engineering
Containers deployed in hazardous areas must be engineered for controlled risk, not adapted after installation.
Operation in ATEX-classified zones requires structured analysis of explosive atmospheres, ignition source control and certified equipment integration. Structural design, electrical systems and ventilation must work as a single engineered system.
Our ATEX engineering framework addresses:
- Zone 1 and Zone 2 design criteria
- Equipment category alignment (2G / 3G)
- Ignition source elimination and control
- Explosion risk mitigation strategy
- Certified Ex electrical and HVAC integration
- Earthing, bonding and static discharge control
- Ventilation and pressure management concepts
Each system is engineered to match the defined hazardous area classification and operational duty cycle.
ATEX Engineering Capabilities
Our ATEX engineering scope includes:
- Design support for ATEX Zone 1 and Zone 2 installations
- Certified EX electrical systems
- ATEX-compliant HVAC and ventilation solutions
- Structural adaptations for hazardous environments
- Compliance documentation and authority coordination
Integrated Structural & Electrical Engineering
Unlike standard container suppliers, POLKONT combines structural verification, certified modification processes and ATEX-compliant electrical integration within one coordinated engineering framework.
This integrated approach reduces certification risk and ensures full technical consistency between structural and electrical systems.
Compliance & Documentation
We support projects requiring structured compliance documentation packages, authority coordination and certification processes in regulated industrial environments.
Engineering documentation may include:
- Technical design documentation
- Structural verification reports
- Electrical system documentation
- Compliance declarations
- Support during authority review procedures
Designed in Accordance with European ATEX Directives
POLKONT designs and delivers container systems intended for installation and operation in potentially explosive atmospheres in accordance with applicable ATEX directives and harmonized European standards.
Our engineering approach integrates structural design, explosion risk mitigation, certified electrical systems and documented compliance procedures aligned with project-specific hazardous area classification.
