Anti-Static Windsocks — Gas Engine Facility

Gas Power Generation Facility — Australia

OIL & GAS / POWER

Client

National Gas Engine Services Contractor

Location

Australia

The Challenge

The gas engine installations operate in environments where hydrocarbons are present, creating a potential ignition risk from electrostatic discharge. Standard polyester Windsocks cannot be used in these settings — only anti-static rated fabrics compliant with the requirements of hazardous area wind monitoring may be installed. The contractor required three anti-static Windsocks for multiple locations across a gas engine facility.

Key Requirements

  • Anti-static rated fabric — essential for hydrocarbon-present environments
  • Neon yellow for high-visibility in industrial settings
  • Bridle harness configuration on one unit for rotor arm pivot fitting
  • Three units for full-facility wind monitoring coverage
  • Oil & Gas specification product throughout

What We Supplied

Anti-Static Neon Yellow Windsock 1200×350×175mm (without harness, for frame fitting)
Anti-Static Neon Yellow Windsock 1200×350×175mm with Bridle Harness

Outcome

Three anti-static Windsocks delivered to the gas engine facility — two for frame fitting and one with bridle harness for rotor arm pivot attachment. All units manufactured from anti-static rated neon yellow fabric, fully compliant with Oil & Gas hydrocarbon-environment specifications.
