Developed at the request of the user community, Det-Pads provide a way of working near detonators with minimised fragmentation risk.
Detonators and the plastic moulded connectors for detonating cord are sources of fragmentation. For some specialist roles such as explosive breaching/ EMOE, the circumstances can dictate that the operator is within range of this fragmentation.
Det-Pads mitigate the blast and massively reduce the energy of the fragmentation without impeding the function of the explosive elements contained within. Det-Pads are one of Containment Systems.
The Det-Pads come in two sizes. Variant ‘A’ is the smaller and designed to enclose a single fragmentation source. The larger Det-pad Variant ‘B’ is designed to enclose two separated fragmentation sources.
For non-tactical roles where safety and the ability to number the sequence in which detonators have been isolated and removed, Det-Pads are also available in red with a white patch on which to write.
A discussion at the DSEI defence show in London posed the question on the possibility of adapting our Detsafe technology to safely contain an array
We have recently completed the design phase for a novel blast/pressure containment vessel. This will allow the customer to perform research and proofing of their
