Ex survey is conducted to mitigate the risk of explosions and accidents caused by electrical equipment that are exposed to hazardous environments. Applications of Ex survey shall be in refineries, fixed offshore platforms, floating offshore installations, industrial plants of fire risks.
Ex Survey is a survey that includes in depth analysis of current and/ or preparation of new, hazardous area classification drawings and in-depth inspection of equipment compliance. Explosion surveys by our competent and certified surveyors ensure electrical ignition sources in your Hazard rated spaces are properly contained. We verify compliance with standards specified by all major codes, pivoting around 60079 legislations: IECEx & ATEX. Our survey reports include a comprehensive Ex register, updated zone drawings and recommendation for rectification of all non-compliances recorded, features such as cloud storage of reports & RFID tagging are an addendum to part of survey to ease in track keeping.
Our Ex Inspection Services Certified Equipment Surveys & Maintenance services are being used by Drilling contractors all over the world. This covers Ex surveys and rectification works on fleets to skids.
Below are scopes included in our Ex inspection works:-
Yes. An Ex survey produces hazardous area classification drawings (either verified/updated versions of existing drawings or newly prepared ones), a comprehensive register of Ex-rated equipment, and rectification recommendations for any non-compliant items found during inspection. These deliverables give the client a documented compliance baseline they can maintain and audit against going forward.
Yes. The service includes in-depth analysis of current hazardous area classification drawings, not only preparation of new ones. This allows a facility to confirm whether prior classification documentation still reflects the as-built plant, which is important after modifications, re-equipping, or when drawings are of uncertain provenance.
Ex surveys apply to facilities with fire risk exposure from flammable atmospheres, including refineries, offshore platforms, floating installations, and other industrial plants where hazardous area classification is required under IECEx, ATEX, and IEC 60079. Aries Marine performs equipment compliance inspections against these standards across such sites.
Both. The scope includes both visual and detailed inspections of Ex-rated equipment, in addition to data collection and health/audit assessments. Any defects identified are documented, and remediation recommendations are issued as part of the deliverable, so the inspection depth goes beyond a surface-level walk-down.
