Are you safe from flying fragment throw?

While VCEs are typically the focus when designing blast resistant buildings, some over pressures occur due to the catastrophic failure of pressure vessels. It is important to provide building occupants a level of protection against flying objects. The FORTRESS Protective Buildings, LLC modular reinforced concrete building is equivalent to being protected from a ¾" solid steel plate!

Check out our recent tests showing the impact of a 2.2 lb fragment impacting the 3/16-inch corrugated steel plate (376 ft/s velocity) compared to the 8-inch Reinforced Concrete FORTRESS panel (378 ft/s velocity).

Contact us to learn more about the protective capabilities of our turnkey modular construction FORTRESS, which provides proven protection for blast, fragment, thermal, and gas ingress (toxic) event.
