In hazardous operating environments, there’s no room for guesswork. Whether you’re running a coal mine, power station, or heavy industry facility, Hazardous Area (HA) compliance and Intrinsically Safe (I.S.) systems are critical to protecting people, safeguarding assets, and maintaining uninterrupted operations.
At Waterline, we have a team of engineers who specialise in HA and combine deep technical expertise with hands-on project experience to deliver solutions that are compliant and practical for daily operations.
From audit to engineering solution
Our work often begins with a HA & I.S. audit, identifying risk areas and ensuring compliance with applicable standards. Our team however goes further. When no like-for-like replacements exist, we design alternative solutions that meet compliance requirements while fitting seamlessly into your operational needs.
At the Tarong Power Plant, for example, we worked with Stanwell to replace outdated coal bunkering equipment from the 1980s. With no direct replacements available, our engineers developed alternative compliant designs that reduced hazardous area risks without impacting functionality.
Proven experience across complex projects
Our multi-discipline engineering expertise spans a range of high-risk, high-value projects, including:
- South Walker Creek Gas Power Station: Pre-feasibility engineering and integration design for new gas infrastructure
- Tarong Power Station Dust Collector Platforms: Custom engineering assessments and platform designs to improve maintainability and safety
- Eddy Current Coupling Upgrades: Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to verify modifications and ensure HA compliance in mechanical and electrical upgrades
