Blast-Resistant Doors

Every blast-resistant building needs a safe, durable blast-resistant door. At HUNTER, we have
complete quality control over the design and manufacturing of each door that goes onto our
buildings, so you will never doubt the safety of your personnel.

To us, the construction of blast-resistant buildings is personal:
it’s about the protection of individual lives. That’s why we
design and manufacture our blast doors in-house, and subject
them to the same blast testing as our buildings.
All HUNTER analysis calculations are performed by third-party
professional blast engineers. HUNTER’s blast design has been
validated by physical tests performed by third-party specialists,
and all HUNTER buildings carry a blast rating, which extends to
our blast doors.
Each HUNTER blast door is engineered to withstand a major
blast or explosion without serious deformities; additionally,
doors can remain fully operational after a blast. HUNTER doors
can withstand a peak pressure in excess of 17.9 PSI and remain
fully operable. They also have been tested, and exhibit,
inleakage well below current industry safe haven standards.

Offshore Buildings

Construction in an offshore environment is a dangerous activity, and one that poses a number of
dangers to offshore personnel. Taking risks with your offshore employees and equipment is never
the answer. It’s vital that necessary equipment be in place to ensure that any risks posed by the
nature of the accommodations are minimized.

HUNTER offers offshore facilities that can accommodate HUNTER’s offshore accommodation modules can be used for
everything from oil platforms to drilling rigs, and more. Our the following applications:

Protecting You From well head or tanker to terminal or pipeline, the transportation of natural gas or
During LNG Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is an extensive process that brings risk to all personnel
involved. During the processing of well head gas and/or the unloading, storage and
Transmission vaporization process of LNG, there is a potential for fire and/or explosion. HUNTER
understands the need for protecting the facility personnel engaged in these transitions.

HUNTER designs and constructs blast-resistant buildings that can safeguard your
personnel and key equipment at all points in the processing and transportation of this
explosive material. Extremely versatile, a HUNTER building can be used as a compressor
station, a metering and instrumentation station, an operator station and more. All
buildings feature custom design parameters, climate control, fully-furnished interiors,
and meet all applicable building codes and standards.

Remote Instrument Enclosures

An industrial accident, ballistics blast or natural disaster doesn’t just put your personnel at risk: it puts
your operational ability at risk as well. To ensure that your facility remains operational in the event
of an accident or blast, it is vital that critical equipment is kept on-site and housed within structures
capable of withstanding blast waves. Vital instrumentation, electrical components, and other critical
process controls are safeguarded by remote instrument enclosures.
