Deploying a laboratory on offshore platforms, FPSOs, or drilling vessels is never easy. Confined spaces, strict safety requirements, and limited on-site resources make conventional lab setups difficult, yet reliable sample analysis, water testing, or chemical handling remain essential.

The Offshore Laboratory Container developed by TLS offers a modular solution tailored to offshore applications, combining compliance, safety, and flexibility in a single engineered unit.

Compact, Integrated, Purpose-Built
Designed within a standard 20ft or 40ft container footprint, TLS offshore lab units optimize every inch of interior space through thoughtful planning and integrated systems:
  • Fully equipped with lab benches, anti-corrosion flooring, cabinets, and sinks
  • Ventilation hoods, air extraction, and gas piping systems ensure safe operation
  • Built-in electrical panels, explosion-proof lights, and sockets for easy use
  • Delivered as a plug-and-play solution—ready to operate with minimal platform intervention

Space-saving, user-friendly, and deployment-ready, it’s a reliable solution for offshore laboratory needs.

Engineered for Offshore Conditions
Offshore environments pose unique technical and safety challenges. TLS lab containers are engineered with these realities in mind:
  • Explosion-proof options: Electrical systems can be configured for Zone 1 / Zone 2 hazardous areas
  • Weather-resistant design: All materials and components are selected for reliable performance in offshore settings
  • Structural integrity: Reinforced container bodies support long-term use in vibration-prone or motion-heavy locations
  • Standards-compliant: Built to meet general offshore project standards and inspection requirements

TLS containers are not just functional—they’re built to endure demanding offshore work environments.

Modular Customization for Versatile Testing Needs
From routine inspections to emergency response, every offshore project has unique testing demands. TLS containers offer modular configurations such as:
  • Chemical handling and storage modules
  • Crude oil/water sample prep and analysis sections
  • Cleaning sinks, waste liquid collection systems
  • Optional features: gas bottle racks, refrigeration units, filtration systems, UPS backup

No matter the mission, TLS delivers lab containers designed around your operational needs.

Conclusion:

​
In offshore environments where space is limited and reliability is critical, TLS Offshore Laboratory Containers provide a safe, compliant, and deployable lab space without compromise.

Whether used for long-term operations or temporary testing campaigns, our lab containers help you maintain control, accuracy, and safety—right where you need it.

In petrochemical plants, oil & gas platforms, and hazardous chemical zones, frontline technicians face harsh conditions every day—volatile gases, airborne dust, heat, confined spaces...
Yet when electrical maintenance, instrument calibration, or temporary testing is needed, a clean, safe, and functional operating environment is often a luxury.

At TLS, we designed the Positive Pressure Workspace to meet this challenge head-on.
It’s not just a container—it’s a protected, controlled work zone, engineered to keep both personnel and sensitive equipment safe, even in explosive atmospheres.

Safety First: A Habitable Space in Hazardous Zones
Traditional temporary operations in Zone 1 or Zone 2 areas typically involve wearing protective gear or working in basic pressurized enclosures—not ideal for long durations or precision work.

TLS Positive Pressure Workspaces offer a better alternative:
  • Continuous overpressure protection, maintaining indoor pressure higher than ambient to prevent ingress of flammable gases
  • Fully integrated explosion-proof systems for lighting, sockets, air conditioning, and power distribution—engineered to comply with IECEx / ATEX standards
  • Clean air supply, with multi-stage filtration to ensure breathable, healthy air for extended stays
  • Emergency ventilation and fail-safe power-off design, providing automatic response in case of system fault

In explosive zones, the TLS workspace becomes a true safety island—a refuge you can trust.

Operator-Centered: A Functional Environment for Focused Work
We believe the right environment empowers better work. That’s why every TLS Positive Pressure Workspace is built with the operator in mind:
  • User-friendly control interface with integrated panels and clear system indicators
  • Logical interior zoning for storage, operation, and maintenance areas—optimized for efficient workflows
  • Comfort built in, with explosion-proof air conditioning, low-noise fans, and insulated walls to ensure a pleasant environment in extreme climates
  • Easy maintenance, thanks to modular cable routing and piping for fast on-site servicing
  • Optional remote monitoring modules available on request, allowing better visibility into system performance

It’s not just about compliance—it’s about giving technicians a workspace where they can concentrate on the job, not the risks.

Flexible & Mobile: A Safety Zone That Moves with You
Built on standard container dimensions, TLS Positive Pressure Workspaces are made for fast, reliable deployment:
  • Plug-and-play setup, pre-integrated before delivery—just connect power and start work
  • Rapid deployment, ideal for emergency maintenance, shutdowns, or short-term testing operations
  • Highly customizable, with optional configurations for fan redundancy, gas detection, workbench layout, and more

Whether onshore or offshore, the TLS workspace goes where it’s needed—bringing safety to the front lines.

Conclusion:
Daily operations in hazardous zones are part of life for frontline engineers. At TLS, we believe these professionals deserve more than just the bare minimum.
Our Positive Pressure Workspaces are designed to deliver a controlled, habitable, and secure working environment—built with care, precision, and real-world needs in mind.
​
We’re not just offering a container.
We’re building a trusted, livable, mobile “safety island”—right at the edge of danger, where it matters most.
