In the specialized world of oil & gas, mining, and marine applications, switchgear must meet exceptionally stringent requirements. Equipment is often exposed to explosive atmospheres, requiring flameproof or pressurized (Ex p) enclosures. In offshore environments, resistance to saltwater corrosion and the ability to withstand constant vessel motion are critical. These applications demand switchgear designed and certified for such harsh duties from the ground up, with robust mechanical anchoring to withstand shock loadings from breaker operation-1. Sinotech Group, through its specialized subsidiaries and partnerships, understands the unique demands of these heavy industries. We supply switchgear solutions that carry the necessary certifications (ATEX, IECEx, etc.) for hazardous areas and are constructed with materials and coatings suitable for corrosive environments. Our technical service experts are familiar with the specific installation and commissioning requirements for such settings. Protecting your personnel and production in the world's toughest environments is a challenge we are equipped to meet.
