Blast Resistant Doors
Unlike most other doors, a Blast Resistant Door is supplied as a complete assembly by EEP. Parts include the door, frame, anchors, hardware, and accessories. This must be done because items such as the door, frame, latches, and hinges are of bespoke manufacture and are independent parts of Blast Resistance. To facilitate the specification of individual door assemblies, the door type, blast effects, rebound, deformation limits, operating forces, hardware, and accessories for each door are brought together under a Blast Door assembly specification. Structural steel doors shall be flush mounted into frames, or surface mounted. Reinforced concrete doors shall be surface mounted. Doors can be manually operated, side hinged, swinging type.
Frames and anchors shall be capable of transferring blast and rebound reactions to the adjacent supporting structure. Resistance to blast shall be demonstrated either by design calculations or tests on prototype design assemblies.
Design Requirements
EEP design Blast Resistant Doors for a wide range of applications, particularly for EMPP (Electro-Magnetic Pulse Protection).
Careful design is required to take into consideration the following:
Surface Treatment
The frames are primed for a high level of corrosion protection.
