Blast Proof

The ultimate Modular Protection

This range is designed to protect your equipment and staff from fire, hazardous substance penetration, Atex-type accidental explosions (Directive 1999/92/EC), or worse (e.g. terrorist attacks).

Anticipate the worst

Modulo Protect designs comfortable, resistant modular buildings which comply with the safety and security provisions of your specifications.
The design of our building structures depends on the following factors:
➜ pressure wave (incident pressure), reflection coefficient and duration of
signal with permitted level of damage: Low, Medium, High,
➜ toxic or hazardous vapour tightness,
➜ fire resistance,
➜ Calculation analysis method: as per ASCE Design of Blast Resistant
Buildings in Petrochemical Facilities or “Comportement des Structures Soumises à une Explosion” (L. Paris, 2010).
The design as a whole is produced by our design and engineering department and supplied for review to a specialised independent external body.

Building codes and studies

The buildings also comply with the current administrative and government construction standards.
➜ French building codes (DTU) or Eurocodes,
➜ CM 66, Snow and wind, Seismic design,
➜ disabled access,
➜ energy efficiency RT 2012
The study may be designed and previously presented in the form of 3D
computer images of the exterior and interior.

Manufactured and pre-mounted at our plant

➜ perfectly dimensioned metal structure,
➜ blast proof window, door and integrated security entrance frames EN 13123
and 124-1 certified,
➜ architectured or panel cladding,
➜ appropriate tightness, pressurisation, air treatment, air regulation and air
conditioning,
➜ gas or other detection equipment,
➜ HV and LV facilities inspected by a certified body,
➜ WCs, kitchenette, furnishings.

Risky sites

Some of our realization

Blast Proof Building on Viriat site

Made up of 2 MODULES -
POSTE HT module - 16.00m x 4.00m x 4.30m
BT POST module - 16.00m x 4.00m x 4.30m
Assembled building - 16.00m x 8.00m x 4.00m or 128m² area

RESISTANCE AT DEFINED PRESSURE

Waveform: "Shock wave" type: triangular signal with a steep front
Pressure signal decay time: td = 20 ms
Incident pressure: Pi (Pso) = 300 mbar (30 kPa)
Reflected pressure: Pr = 990 mbar (99 kPa)
The overall resistance criterion of the building will be a "HIGH" damage level

Project on Croda site

Made up of 1 MODULE - Dimension: 12m x 6m x 3.50m - i.e. 72 m² total
It was built according to these types of pressure and coefficient: Pi = 500 mbar / Cr = 2.58 / Pr = 2067 mbar / 200 ms

Project Total Harfleur

Made up of 4 MODULES - Dimension: 12m x 12m x 3.53m - i.e. 144 m²
The buildings were built according to these types of pressure: Pi = 300 mbar / Cr = 2.30 / Pr = 690 mbar / 100 ms

Project Petroineos

Made up of 7 MODULES - Dimension: 20m x 12m x 3.56m - or 240 m² total
The buildings were built according to these types of pressure: Pi = 500 mbar / Cr = 2.37 / Pr = 1180 mbar / 100 ms

Project Eurenco

Made up of 4 MODULES - Dimension: 12m x 6m x 3.40m - i.e. 72 m² total
The buildings were built according to these types of pressure: Pi = 200 mbar / Cr = 2.15 / Pr = 430 mbar / 150 ms

Project Total Donges

Made up of 19 MODULES - Dimension: 45m x 12m x 3.40m - or 540 m² total
The buildings were built according to these types of pressure: Pi = 300 mbar / Cr = 2.30 / Pr = 690 mbar / 100 ms
