 Specialty Contractors Division 18 January/February 2019 Centralized nitrogen room contains two large nitrogen tanks. Southland Design Solution Nets


Unique Safety Award Southland Industries, one of the nation’s leading mechanical, engineering and


plumbing firms, devised a unique safety application that reduced safety risk, time and labor on the jobsite. The innovation earned the company the “Unique Safety Application” award from AGC of California this year. The solution involved creation of a centralized nitrogen room on a jobsite that


replaced a portable dewar system. Southland plumbers are often required to install medical gas piping systems on projects. Plumbers must purge nitrogen through their lines during any brazing work, something that had previously required nitrogen dewar tanks set up in various locations to enable the purging process. However, this created a host of safety hazards. Dewar tanks needed to be relocated frequently, were heavy and hard to stop once in motion, and occupied limited congested space, all of which posed hazards to employees moving them and working around them. By utilizing the process of safety through design, Southland innovated


a centralized nitrogen room comprising two 1,500-liter nitrogen tanks in an enclosed, secured space. They installed an intricate purging line system running nitrogen gas from the centralized tank to each floor. Each floor has two purge ports that act as access points for the nitrogen gas. The piping system allows easy access to nitrogen throughout the building. The unique system was found to be much safer, less costly and timelier compared to the traditional dewar system.


Over 1 million worker hours – ACCO Engineered Systems.
