Blast & Fire Walls

Protection of both personnel and equipment from the effects of explosions, fire and impact, in hazardous environments such as offshore oil and gas platforms.

Blast resistant and/or fire rated walls and cladding, engineered to suit the application.

Fundamental to the integrity of Safety & Security




Preventing the escalation of events due to hydrocarbon explosions. As such, the blast walls are expected to retain their integrity against any blast loading and fire that may subsequently follows, therefore blastwalls must also be firewalls.

Our wall systems and cladding are used and known by the world’s most demanding Oil & Gas companies, world-wide, and under the most severe conditions.

 

All our wall systems and cladding have been fully tested and have the required type of approvals, fully certified by Lloyds Register


Our range:

  • Generation II wall system, corrugated/profiled blastwall, insulated and fully (seal) welded. Engineered to blast load and span, pre-fabricated and pre-assembled. Mild (coated) or Stainless Steel.
  • Generation III wall system, the light concept. Thin gauged galvanized coil coated or stainless steel elements offering optimal span/weight ratio. Bolted to the supporting structure, with no hot work required, and delivered in prefabricated construction kits.
  • Our Generation III: The weight saving solution!
  • Jet-fire walls, in Mild and Stainless Steel
  • Winterising walls, heat and wind shield cladding

Evolution

Van Dam’s extensive R&D has led to our third generation of blast wall systems. From generation I, based on reinforced structural bulkheads, and generation II, based on heavily corrugated and welded prefabricated panels to: generation III!

Generation III, the weight saving solution!

Verification of the systems compliance with the design requirements is carried out by successful generic testing involving the following independent test laboratories.

  • Fire resistance : TNO
  • Blast resistance : PML
  • Corrosion resistance : Delft University
  • Jet fire testing : RISC

Witnessed and verified by Lloyds Register


Always:

  • Certified for hydrocarbon fires to H120, jetfires J120
  • A safer environment, combining structural strength and integrity
  • Engineered to the application
  • Service and back-up from our after sales department
