Containment barrier for use with surface treatment

A treatment and containment system comprising:

• surface treatment equipment;
• a barrier for separating an enclosed treatment area from an operator of the surface treatment equipment, the barrier having an access aperture therein in which a component, that facilitates manipulation of the treatment equipment, is at least one of rotatably and pivotably supported;
• an access component having an access port for accommodating the surface treatment equipment;
• a viewing component having a viewing aperture to facilitate viewing of a surface of an object to be treated during surface treatment;
• and
• at least one sealing component for sealing at least one outer edges of the containment system to the surface of the object to be treated;
• wherein the access component comprises a pair of elongate inflatable elements which, once inflated, forms an airtight seal in the access aperture, and an access assembly which facilitates the surface treatment equipment to pass through the sealing component and prevents media from passing through the access aperture.

A containment barrier for containing a blasting media during treatment of an object, the containment barrier comprising:

• a peripheral housing having at least first, second and third body surfaces and two end surfaces which together define an enclosed treatment area;
• a viewing aperture located within a first body surface, a transparent member being accommodated within the viewing aperture to facilitate containing blasting media within the enclosed treatment area and enabling observation of an object to be treated;
• an elongate access aperture located within one of the first body surface and a second body surface;
• an elongate cylindrical access port body rotatably fixed within the access aperture to allow access to the enclosed treatment area and facilitate insertion of at least one tool during the treatment the object, the access port body having an elongate tool inlet and an opposed elongate tool outlet, an interior of the access port body having a tool retainer which is slidable along the elongate port body allowing treatment of the object along a first axis, the port body being rotatably fixed at opposed ends enabling axial rotation of the port body allowing treatment of the object along a second axis, and the tool inlet being substantially enclosed by a seal;
• and
• a media evacuation system including at least one exhaust hose for removing media from the enclosed treatment area.
