Testing:

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 sorts 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 todays 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.

DuraSystem`s 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 relocatable. One significant feature of the wall system is its post blast fire protection.

DuraSystems has tested its 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, but the DuraSystems` door was still operable.

Did you know?

DuraDuct SD & HP are independently tested blast rated duct systems. Both SD & HP models can withstand a charge of 2 Bar (approx. 27psi) overpressure without developing any through openings.

This life safety benefit is unmatched by any other fire rated duct system and is the only tested blast rated system on the market.

DuraDuct SD & HP models are ideal for high risk installations or where added protection of the life safety system will be required.
