TOXIC GAS MONITORING SYSTEMS

Hallam-ICS designs your toxic gas monitoring system in alignment with applicable codes and industry standards, including the International Fire Code (IFC), NFPA guidance (e.g., NFPA 55), SEMI standards (e.g., S2/S6), CGA documents, OSHA exposure limits, and the requirements of your local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). Our team works directly with your EHS group and the AHJ to establish compliant alarm thresholds and define the required safety actions.

Semiconductor fabs, R&D cleanrooms, nanotechnology labs, universities, and advanced manufacturing lines using hazardous production materials (HPM) typically need TGMS. The Hallam-ICS Team designs systems for gas cabinets, VMBs, gas bunkers, tool install areas, and service chases where leak detection, alarming, and interlocks are critical.

Yes. Hallam-ICS engineers integrations between the TGMS, fire alarm, and building management system (BMS). Our toxic gas monitoring experts document a functional cause-and-effect matrix, so each alarm state triggers the correct, testable response across connected systems.

Hallam-ICS TGMS solutions continuously monitor target gases, deliver clear alarms, execute automated responses (tool interlocks, gas shutoff, ventilation changes, door logic), and capture event logs for compliance and root-cause analysis - engineered by the Hallam-ICS Team for your specific hazards.

Based on a hazard analysis and your AHJ’s requirements, Hallam-ICS configures audible/visual alarms, tool purge and shutdown, gas cabinet and VMB shutoffs, BAS and fire alarm notification. The Hallam-ICS Team verifies these sequences during commissioning.

Hallam-ICS toxic gas monitoring experts select sensor technologies and locations using gas properties, airflow, equipment layouts, and serviceability. Alarm setpoints are established using code guidance, exposure limits, and operational considerations to balance safety and nuisance-alarm reduction.

Hallam-ICS provides a structured program with routine inspections, bump tests, periodic full calibrations, challenge testing of interlocks, and consumables replacement (e.g., filters/tape), backed by version-controlled documentation. The Hallam-ICS Team can perform the work or train your staff.

Hallam-ICS designs for change with standardized configuration practices, spare capacity, and modular architectures. Clear tag naming conventions and documentation allow your team to add gases, tools, or new process areas without re-engineering the entire platform.

Absolutely. A qualified TGMS provider, such as Hallam-ICS, can support both greenfield fabs and complex retrofits. For new facilities, Hallam-ICS delivers comprehensive services including front-end studies, basis-of-design, detailed engineering, panel fabrication, integration, factory and site acceptance testing (FAT/SAT), commissioning/startup, and ongoing service. For retrofit projects, our experienced teams plan and execute upgrades on live sites, carefully phasing work to minimize downtime and disruption to operations.

Yes. Hallam-ICS specifies and fabricates UL-compliant panels, including solutions for hazardous locations where required. The Hallam-ICS Team tests, labels, and documents all panels to match your I/O and network standards.

Hallam-ICS delivers P&IDs, I/O lists, alarm response matrices, network architecture, cause-and-effect tables, calibration/maintenance procedures, FAT/SAT protocols and results, and commissioning reports—organized by the Hallam-ICS Team for EHS, facilities, and operations stakeholders.

Yes. Hallam-ICS integrates alarm and trend data with historians or enterprise reporting so you can generate audit-ready reports, analyze nuisance alarms, and drive continuous improvement - supported by Hallam-ICS toxic gas monitoring experts.
