Hiltra designs and supplies accessible compartments for safe storage and management of hazardous materials.
Available as uninsulated, insulated or full PGS 15 fire compartment, with ventilation, liquid-tight floors and documentable compliance.
Sometimes it is necessary for hazardous materials storage areas to be not only safe, but also accessible.
Hiltra provides specialized accessible compartments designed for maintenance, provisioning or inspection.
These compartments are available in both uninsulated and insulated variants, and in addition to standard versions, we also offer full PGS15 fire compartments.

Prefab constructions - ready-made units that can be quickly installed
Resorbable compartments come in handy in numerous scenarios within security storage:
Storage areas within factories, where employees need access
Zone structures in chemical plants
Maintenance and intervention areas adjacent to storage tanks
Industry-specific locations such as laboratories, refineries and process sites
Facilities with temperature-sensitive or aggressive substances requiring monitoring
Inspection & maintenance
To ensure the safety and compliance of an accessible compartment, periodic inspections must be performed:
Control of the integrity of floor, walls and leakage devices
Inspection of ventilation ducts and exhaust systems
Check that doors and locking mechanisms are functioning properly
Check for structural damage or corrosion
Up-to-date hazard signs and markings
Documentation of inspections and repair activities
Frequently asked questions about walkable compartments
Why should I make a compartment walkable?
Because certain processes, maintenance or inspections require access. An accessible compartment combines safety with accessibility.
Can each compartment be isolated?
Yes, Hiltra can provide compartments with insulation for climate control, temperature protection or explosion safety.
Does an accessible compartment automatically comply with PGS15?
Not always: the compartment must be specifically designed to meet PGS15 requirements such as fire resistance, ventilation and liquid tightness.
How do I combine safety and accessibility?
By using self-closing doors, fire-resistant partitions, controlled ventilation and safe construction principles.
