What you don't know can cost you
RedGuard explains some myths around blast-resistant buildings, which can be costeffective
as well as offering excellent protection to people and assets
learned that every application is different.
Fact: Our SafetySuites are permanent BRBs
that can be purchased to meet specific operational
needs for years to come.
Myth #2: BRBs are only for rush construction
jobs.
Though SafetySuites can be erected in
Well-designed blast-resistant buildings
are in no way inferior to traditional
constructions, says RedGuard
lot of myths still surround the use of
blast-resistant buildings (BRBs) as traditional
building replacements, writes Tim
Taton, North American Sales Manager with
RedGuard. Understanding these myths
could save many thousands of dollars, not
to mention lives.
Myth #1: Modular blast-resistant buildings
(BRBs) are only available for lease.
When we pioneered the BRB industry,
we offered only lease units, but we quickly
A
a fraction of the time needed for traditional
buildings, they are a superior, permanent
construction solution. They often cost less
than traditional buildings, and do a better
job of protecting personnel and resources.
Fact: BRBs are superior to traditional buildings
for all construction projects.
Myth #3: BRBs lack the comforts and amenities
of traditional buildings.
This myth is probably a holdover from
the early days, when all of our engineering
resources were devoted to creating the safest
building in the world.
Fact: The inside of a SafetySuite is often
indistinguishable from that of a traditional
building, offering all the same amenities.
Myth #4: A blast pressure rating is the only
important factor when specifying a BRB.
Blast pressure is a key part of the BRB
design formula, but duration and response
level ratings tell the real story of how a BRB
will hold up to a blast. Some manufacturers
claim a 5 or 8 psi rating, but with a high response
level. This is virtually meaningless,
as " high response " equates to high damage,
with a high risk of casualties. Interior
fittings are important, too, since a tough
steel box, alone, does not make a safe BRB.
Fact: Blast pressure ratings, taken alone,
can provide a misleading view of safety.
Myth #5: BRB design is still experimental.
While blast engineering is a comparatively
new science, RedGuard has worked
with some of the world's most respected authorities-and
then performed blast testing
under realistic conditions. A SafetySuite designed
for a specific application will protect
personnel during a blast event, at a fraction
of the cost and construction time of a traditional
building.
Fact: SafetySuites are built on proven engineering
concepts that have been fully tested
and proven safe. www.redguard.com

Recently a petrochemical
company had to augment its
distillation facilities on a " war
footing " . The Dipesh team was
in action right from the process
design stage. All equipment
items were closely integrated,
so as to save time during erection
and pre-piping. The project
was completed quickly and on
time, with no compromise in either
equipment quality or plant
performance.
From small items to large, Dipesh Engineering Works delivers
Passion has taken Dipesh
from being a basic manufacture
of wooden vats, back in 1979,
to a versatile and trusted process
equipment manufacturer
in India, working in virtually all
metals, coatings and linings.
The company is already
trusted by many multinationals
and strives to be a globally acknowledged
designer, manufacturer
and long-term partner.
