Building Blast Vulnerability Assessments

SJH Projects can assist you in conducting a blast vulnerability study of your building or facility. Utilizing our experience in testing building elements such as glazing and combining this with blast overpressure prediction software, we can help you determine the necessary safe stand-off distances or what additional blast mitigation measures should be considered.

We have conducted such blast vulnerability studies in the UK and abroad for both commercial and government facilities.

With this information, we can recommend actions to mitigate the threat. These may include alterations to limit the proximity of a potential threat, as well as changes to the facade and structure of the building. Additionally, procedural changes can be implemented to aid prevention and minimize potential casualties. 

The predicted blast overpressures can be aligned with the widely used specification performance levels utilized by governments and manufacturers for testing and qualifying their products. 

Much of the advice provided by SJH Projects is driven by a focus on business continuity and minimizing both actual and reputational damage.
