Caissons and enclosures
Whenever there is a higher risk of contamination, works are carried out in caissons and enclosures. They are therefore usually operated with separate ventilation systems. Within an enclosure, for example, dismantling work is carried out on building structures if a high dust generation is to be expected. Within a caisson, for example, the dismantling or decontamination of radioactive waste takes place.
