Technical & Blast Resistant Modules

Our Technical Modules are used in some of the most demanding environments around the world and can be used to house:

Utility system modules
Switchgear and instrumentation modules
Control rooms, telecommunication units
LV/HV cabins, transformer substations
Mechanical systems, pump stations, hydraulic equipment
Power (diesel, gas) generating units
Process equipment (metering, chemical dosing)
Fire fighting (foam and deluge) units
Chilled water units (CWU's)
Electrical and mechanical crane houses
Diving chambers
Refrigerated storage cells (shipbuilding)
Fire and blast rated modular buildings

Our Blast Resistant Modules (BRM) have been developed as a solution to the increasing demand for safety, optimisation and work-efficiency in explosion exposed areas. A BRM provides the ultimate solution for workers safety and equipment protection. By providing a safe haven within the process area, the operations can be accomplished in an efficient manner.

The BRM can also be customised to suit any specific needs or can be combined into a complete Blast Resistant Building. Whether the BRM has to serve as office, sanitary, storage or work unit, all necessary furnishings and equipment required for any project can be provided.

Both standard and customised BRMs can be outfitted with all provisions such as HVAC, Electrical, Sewage and potable water systems. Blast loads can go up to 12 PSI and the specifications meet or exceed ASCE, API and AESC standards.

Safety:

Shelter to turn to in case of emergency protection of personnel and equipment
Personnel on site: quick response time in case of sudden event

Flexibility:

Any size possible, depending on scope and available space on site
Any scope: temporary, repetitive > maintenance, turnarounds
Any scope: permanent > daily activities

Efficiency

Personnel on location during their work-hours
No loss of time due to travelling on/off site due to full capacity: less personnel needed and/or work completed within shorter period
