Having
foreseen the threats that the world is well aware of today,
DuraSystems is prepared with solutions for threats that are
raised by terror organizations. DuraSystems prides itself in designing and
implementing physical security features for all sort of
installations, providing, blast protection for structural
elements, force entry protection, pedestrian and vehicle
entrances and barriers, and ventilation systems used in
providing fresh air and smoke exhaust in the event of an
emergency.
DuraSystems using its vast fire and blast
knowledge from other industries has developed a product line
that will protect people and property from terrorism.
DuraSystems walls, doors and ventilation systems have been
tested in highly explosive situations. By simulating explosive
devices carried by either people and or vehicles DuraSystems
have tested their products for blast resistance.
Ventilation
systems supplying pressurization air or smoke exhaust are
important for building occupants in the case of a fire or
blast. DuraSystems’ DuraDuct products have been tested for fire
protection as well as structural integrity in a blast scenario.
In several blast tests with different amounts of explosives up
to 9lbs of C4 the ductwork saw no issues with its ability to
supply air or remove smoke.

In today's heated security environment,
protecting people and property is a large concern of many
companies, organizations and governments. DuraSystems takes
this concern serious.
Currently there is a trend to build
buildings in a more “open plan” environment. This “open plan”
environment reduces the compartmentalization of building
interiors, consequently providing less mitigation of the effects
of a blast. In such instances the role of protecting these
spaces becomes increasingly important.
To address this issue DuraSystems used its
knowledge of blast protection to develop an interior partion
that would protect from the force of an air blast and glass
fragments. By making small modifications to some of
DuraSystems’ fire walls products; we have been able to produce a
wall system that will absorb this force.
DuraSystems’ security blast walls have many
features. The product is relatively lightweight and should not
require increase structure to support its weight. DuraSystems
security walls are easy to install and are easily demountable
and relocateable. One significant feature of the wall system is
its post blast fire protection.
DuraSystems has tested the walls and doors
with several varying amounts of explosives. To simulate a
vehicle bomb 200 KG (440lbs) of TNT was exploded at a distance
of 20 meters (22 yards) to determine the level of protection.
Not only did the wall provide an acceptable level of protection
the DuraSystems door was still operable.

The
DuraBarrier
DuraSystems recently launched a new pre-engineered
modular barrier, designed to protect people and
property. DuraBarrier has been recognized by FM Global
as an exterior transformer separation and will help
prevent the spread of fire.

Fire, Blast, Moisture &
Impact Resistant

Each DuraBarrier is constructed to be completely pre
engineered, modular and assembled in the field by way of
fasteners. Our DuraBarrier module is Fire, Blast,
Moisture, and Impact resistant. |
