DuraBarrier

In today’s world, safety and safety in general is a major concern of Governments, Companies and Individuals alike.  A DuraBarrier can be used to protect people and property.

Although the primary reason for the DuraBarrier development was transformer separations many customers have noted other uses. Many customers due to the DuraBarrier’s fire and blast protection have used it in other applications. 

DuraSteel is the main fire resistant component of the barrier and the DuraBarrier can be used for most fire, hydrocarbon fire and blast protection purposes. These would include the following:
  Electrical equipment isolation other than transformers
  Generator separations
  Multiple or redundant equipment separations
  Natural gas equipment protection
  LNG equipment and plant protection
  Propane tank protection
  Oil and gas pipeline protection
  Dust collector system separations
  High pressure gas bottle storage
  Other hydrocarbon fire and blast separations  

An area of focus for DuraSystems will be Homeland Security.  In 2003 the President of the United States approved the National Strategy for Home Land Security.  This vital strategy included protection of the following types of facilities where the DuraBarrier could be used:
  Public water systems serving large populations
  Chemical facilities
  Major power generation facilities
  Hydroelectric facilities
  Nuclear power plants
  Electrical substations
  Major natural gas transmission pipelines
  Natural gas and LNG facilities
  Major petroleum handling facilities

The DuraBarrier is a modular pre-engineered barrier system.  DuraBarrier pre-engineered systems are available to meet the following conditions:
  Tested to 6 hours of fire protection
  Interior and exterior installations
  Seismic Resistant
  Galvanized, stainless steel and epoxy finishes
  Noise reduction
  Wind conditions up to and including category 5 (42.1 psf) hurricanes
  Pre-designed barrier heights up to 35 feet
  Barriers can be supplied at any height required
  Barrier widths are unlimited
  Available with both 90 degree and T joint connections
  Available for both continuous and pier foundation methods

If requirements for a DuraBarrier are not met by the above standard conditions, DuraSystems will provide a custom engineered solution to meet our customer’s needs.

With the benefit of modular construction, the DuraBarrier offers fast and safe original installations.  It also allows for the future disassembly and reassembly for maintenance or replacement of the equipment protected.  This benefit ensures downtime and interruptions are kept to an absolute minimum.

The above options should provide the selection and flexibility to meet virtually all possible transformer applications and its modular design and bolted on site connections make it quick and easy to install.
