Blast Resistant Shelter

Blast Resistant Shelter

A blast resistant shelter or BRM is a place where people can go to protect themselves from blasts and explosions, like those from intended bombs, or accidental explosions in hazardous worksites, such as on oil and gas refineries or petrochemical facilities. The main purpose is to protect people and valuable
equipment from shock waves and overpressure.

Our blast resistant shelter is fully customizable to suit each project’s design criteria. We have various performances, systems and designs selection such as blast rating, fire rating and fire extinguishing system, purpose of use, various sizes, modular in single or multiples and many more.

Response Level

Ratings established by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) are to aid extend cost of the repairs and reuse level after a blast-resistant building that has been subjected to an explosion. The response levels are:

  • Low Response: Component has slight visible permanent damage which required minor repair and the building is safe to be used. The cost of repairs is moderate.
  • Medium Response: Component has some permanent damage and required substantial repair and the building cannot be used until it has been repaired. The cost of repairs is substantial.
