Blast Engineering
- Evaluate structures requiring protection from blast, impact, and other impulsive loads blast-resistant structures for onshore and offshore oil and gas & petrochemical facilities, including the associated control rooms, operator shelters, instrumentation enclosures, multistory living quarters, and supporting foundations.
- Design blast-resistant structures,
- Develop retrofits of existing structures to resist blast loading,
- Design and damage assessment of a building subjected to a terrorist attack and force protection
- Establish evaluation criteria based on federal and industry guidelines
- Determine levels of blast loading
- Evaluate impact from airborne debris and high velocity projectile protection
- Develop blast-load models and testing programs
- Conduct conceptual studies
- Perform structural and dynamic analyses
- Evaluate structures for progressive collapse
- Conduct risk analyses of structural systems, structural and nonstructural components, and equipment
- Upgrade Blast resistant window and door upgrades
- Design Thermal and fire-resistant design
- Design Toxic gas infiltration protection
- Coordinate cost-benefit analyses for blast-resistant construction
