Hazard and Blast Resistant Buildings
Patented FORTRESS Protective Buildings are blast resistant buildings constructed from modular components that provide design flexibility as well as multi-hazard protection from fragment, overpressure, thermal, toxic, and extreme weather events. Using innovative modular construction, our permanent buildings are quickly fabricated, shipped, installed, and ready for occupancy.
We have partnered with industry leading companies to offer a turnkey permanent Multi-hazard Resistant Building (MRB) that provides a high degree of protection from a range of hazards. Due to our patented modular design, site owners and operators not only benefit from knowing that building occupants will be protected but can also appreciate that project costs and site disruption will be minimized.
