Blast Resistant Modules

The Defender Range of Blast Resistant Modules have design approval to meet blast resistance criteria under the following conditions:

  • • Walls - Reflected overpressure of 650 mbar for a positive phase duration on 100msec
  • • Roof – The roof for the 650mbar module (reflected on the front face) would need to be able to resist the 320mbar pressure (side on or overpressure) for the duration of 100msec
  • • Floor– Reflected overpressure of 650mbar for a positive phase duration of 100msec
  • • Windows - Reflected overpressure of 650mbar for a positive phase duration of 100msec
  • • Door - Reflected overpressure of 650mbar for a positive phase duration of 100msec
  • • Door has been classified as Category 1

All Blast Resistant Modules loadings assumed to be of a shock wave form i.e instantaneously rising at time t=0 to the maximum overpressure and decaying linearly to zero mbar at t=100msec

  • • Petrochemical Industry Recommended Practice on Design of Blast Resistant Buildings. Final report (April 1998) Appendix 1
  • • Petrochemical Industry Recommended Practice on Design of Blast Resistant Buildings. Commentary (April 1998) Appendix 2

Units can be manufactured any size and supplied with HVAC and gas detection shut off.

Toxic Refuge

The Defender Range of Blast Resistant Modules can also provide Toxic Refuge against petrochemical explosions and chemical leakage.
