This encompassed development, commissioning and support services to major clients and installations such as the Chevron Ninian field. ![aaa082d2257ab65aecf61c2340e9c5b9_L](https://www.micropacksafety.com/hs-fs/hubfs/aaa082d2257ab65aecf61c2340e9c5b9_L.jpg?width=600&height=450&name=aaa082d2257ab65aecf61c2340e9c5b9_L.jpg "aaa082d2257ab65aecf61c2340e9c5b9_L") Micropack is also experienced in fire research work and the effects of offshore environmental conditions on optical detection methods.This work is what led to Micropack's development of a range of fire and gas mapping tools to measure the performance of fire and gas detection systems and we are considered a market leader in this field. ![image205-w1024](https://www.micropacksafety.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Media/Test%20Facility/image205-w1024.jpg?width=1024&height=768&name=image205-w1024.jpg "image205-w1024") This experience led Micropack to apply its unique specialist knowledge and expertise in its own range of products, including the Visual Flame Detection System.
