Hazardous area installations in ATEX Zone 1 and Zone 2
CompEx installs and alterations in classified areas, including safe equipment selection, correct installation methods, and practical isolations that suit live production environments.

Intrinsically safe circuits for instrumentation and control
Intrinsically safe circuits for instrumentation, interfaces, and control signals, with tidy routing, correct segregation, and clear labelling for long-term maintainability.

Ex lighting, controls, and pump supplies
Ex-rated lighting, controls and pump supplies suited to hazardous zoned areas, installed with sensible isolation, reliable protection, and a focus on uptime.

Earthing and bonding to hazardous-area standards
Earthing and bonding in zoned environments, including bonding of metallic services and interfaces that help reduce ignition risk and support safer maintenance.

Hazardous area inspection and testing, with verification dossiers
Inspection and verification programmes with tagging and clear reporting, aligned to recognised inspection and maintenance practice for electrical installations in explosive atmospheres.

Documentation and compliance reporting that stands up to audit
Hazardous-area inspection dossiers, DSEAR-aligned remedials, and documentation that makes future shutdowns, changes, and audits easier to manage.
Distilleries and breweries
Hazardous area electrical work that protects safety, uptime, and compliance
Distilleries and breweries combine live production, high-value assets, and environments where dangerous substances can create fire and explosion risk. DSEAR requires employers to assess and control those risks, which is why hazardous area electrical work needs competent installation, inspection, and maintenance, not just a quick fix.
WB Electrical support distillery and brewery sites with CompEx-certified engineers, delivering work in ATEX zoned areas with a focus on safe delivery, tidy workmanship, and documentation that supports dutyholders. We have long-term distillery experience, including work delivered in live environments where DSEAR considerations and hazardous zoned areas are present.

ATEX zones, DSEAR duties, and audit-ready delivery
Common distillery and brewery hazardous area triggers
- Expansion, refurbishment, or new kit, new pumps, valves, control upgrades, instrumentation changes
- Existing Ex kit is ageing, damaged, or no longer matches the area classification
- Missing tags, unclear identification, or incomplete hazardous area documentation
- Earthing and bonding issues highlighted during maintenance or inspections
- Inspection findings needing remedials before sign-off, restart, or audit
- Shutdown windows are short, work needs planned and delivered cleanly, first time
- Repeated faults in zoned areas, you need root-cause fixes, not repeat call-outs
- Dutyholder needs clearer evidence, DSEAR requires managing fire and explosion risks from dangerous substances
If any of these are familiar, we can survey the area, agree a practical scope, then deliver the works with controlled downtime and clear reporting that supports your compliance trail.
