Gas Measurement Service

There are two basic classes of work during maintenance, repair and dismantling operations carried out on ships: Hot work and cold work. Hot work includes operations involving sparks or open flames such as welding, cutting, grinding and requires extra precautions against the risk of fire or explosion. Cold work, on the other hand, involves operations such as screwing, assembling, dismantling equipment, etc., where there is no risk of sparks. However, in both types of work, it is essential to measure the gas levels in the work area in accordance with international standards for the safety of personnel. Gas measurements in this direction are critical for both occupational safety and environmental health.

With the Gas Measurement Service it offers in ships and industrial facilities, Ecomar detects flammable, explosive and toxic gases accumulated in confined spaces and evaluates the safety of the ambient air. Measurements are carried out with the help of advanced gas analyzers and detectors. Oxygen ratio, explosive gas concentrations and the presence of toxic gases are analyzed in detail. In line with the data obtained as a result of the measurements, the work area is made safe or necessary ventilation and purification processes are applied.

After the measurements, Ecomar issues official documents in accordance with international occupational health and safety standards. The Certificate of Suitability for Hot Work certifies that the environment is suitable for hot work such as welding and cutting and provides the necessary approval before starting hot work. A Certificate of Suitability for Cold Work or Safe Entry indicates that the environment is safe for any work or personnel entry. Ecomar also issues the Degassing Certificate, which proves that the environment has been completely cleaned of gases during the ship dismantling or maintenance process. These documents not only ensure the safety of personnel, but also guarantee compliance with applicable legislation and international audit processes.

Especially in risky operations such as ship dismantling operations, the safety of personnel and environmental responsibilities are fully fulfilled thanks to gas measurement reports and documents issued.
