Blast Shafts

Custom modular building (above photos), designed using three 10' wide x 50' long modular units shipped separately to site and bolted together (patented method), making first Factory Mutual approved 1500 sq. ft. warehouse. There are five blast shafts bolted over outside of ten 8' x 4' explosion relief panels, permitting this hazmat building to be placed close to main plant and oxidizer facility. Note: Blast shaft on end of building wall.
Upward type blast shaft (patented) open at top permitting snow and rain to pass down through. During an explosion, the open bottom of shaft is filled in when bottom hinged relief panel is forced open, causing blast effects to go straight up out of harm's way Open bottom of left blast shaft allows rain and snow to pass through and shows closed explosion relief panel. Relief panel on right in open position fills bottom of shaft, forcing blast effects out open top of shaft, allowing building to be placed near other facilities. Shafts are blast rated.
