When it comes to securing your facility against potential hazards, RedGuard’s multi-hazard resistant buildings stand out as the industry's top choice. Our dedication to advanced engineering and customization ensures that your building will offer unparalleled protection, functionality, and efficiency. With RedGuard, you don’t just get a standard structure; you get a solution specifically designed to meet your unique safety and operational needs. 

Below, we will walk you through the key reasons why our buildings are the best in the industry, highlighting their superior design, comprehensive hazard protection, efficient installation, rigorous testing, and customizable features.

#1 OUR BUILDINGS ARE DESIGNED BY THE INDUSTRY'S BEST, PROVIDING ULTIMATE PROTECTION FROM BLASTS

At RedGuard, our blast-resistant buildings are crafted by some of the most skilled engineers in the industry. Each SafetySuite unit is built to withstand blast forces up to 15 PSI, thanks to its robust steel structure and innovative design. Our steel framing, along with specialized joints, is engineered to absorb and distribute the force of explosions, significantly minimizing damage and ensuring the building remains intact. Our approach not only provides superior protection but also enhances the building’s overall durability. 

Our modular design allows for rapid assembly and flexible configuration, making it well-suited for projects with tight deadlines. For instance, we can position the units near existing structures to facilitate seamless transitions during shutdowns or relocations, ensuring minimal disruption to your operations.

WHY DO WE CHOOSE STEEL OVER OTHER MATERIALS? 

Steel stands out as the optimal choice for blast-resistant buildings due to its remarkable strength, flexibility, and lightweight properties. Its high tensile strength allows it to absorb and spread the intense forces from explosions more effectively than concrete. 

Steel’s natural flexibility helps it endure blast pressures without cracking, reducing the risk of structural failure. Moreover, its lightweight nature simplifies transportation and assembly, which is essential for modular and quickly deployable structures. Unlike concrete, which can be rigid and prone to cracking under stress, steel offers a resilient and adaptable solution that enhances safety and integrity in high-risk environments.

#2 PROTECT YOUR TEAM FROM COMMON HAZARDS

Beyond blast resistance, RedGuard’s multi-hazard buildings are designed to offer comprehensive protection against various risks commonly encountered at high-risk worksites. Our buildings integrate multiple layers of safety features to address diverse threats, ensuring that your team and assets are safeguarded from a wide range of hazardous conditions. Each feature is engineered to work harmoniously to provide a robust defense system that enhances overall safety.

FIRE RESISTANCE

RedGuard’s modular security buildings are engineered to provide exceptional fire resistance, addressing multiple types of fire hazards commonly faced in high-risk environments. Our designs include built-in resistance to flash fires, which can occur during explosions when flammable materials ignite rapidly in the air.

To enhance fire protection, we incorporate a range of features tailored to meet your specific needs. Our buildings utilize advanced wall assemblies and high-performance insulation to combat different fire scenarios, including jet fires (intense, high-velocity streams of burning gas) and pool fires (large pools of burning liquid). For additional protection, we apply intumescent coatings where necessary, which expand and form a protective barrier under high temperatures.

Each building can be customized to withstand specific durations of fire exposure, ensuring that your facility remains safe even during prolonged fire events. This comprehensive approach to fire resistance helps maintain the integrity of your operations and protect your team from the potentially devastating effects of fire hazards.

TOXIC GAS PROTECTION

In areas where toxic gases pose a risk, our buildings provide effective protection. We offer three levels of toxic gas protection: basic gas detection equipment for early warning, pressurization systems to keep out harmful gases, and advanced airlock solutions for extreme cases where shelter-in-place might be required. These systems ensure that occupants are shielded from dangerous gas exposure and that the internal environment remains safe and breathable.

FRAGMENT PROTECTION

Flying debris from explosions can cause significant damage. To address this, our buildings are designed with reinforced steel structures that effectively deflect and absorb fragments. Additional safety measures, such as reinforced panels and strategic design elements, further enhance protection against flying debris, reducing the risk of injury and damage.

#3 OUR FAST AND EFFICIENT INSTALLATION PROCESS WON'T DISRUPT YOUR TEAM OR YOUR FACILITY’S PROCESSES

At RedGuard, we understand that downtime and disruptions can have a significant impact on your operations. That’s why we prioritize a fast and efficient installation process for our blast-resistant buildings. Our modular design allows for rapid deployment and minimal interference with your ongoing activities.

Our buildings are prefabricated off-site, which means that when they arrive at your location, they are ready for quick assembly. The off-site construction method speeds up the installation process and reduces the risk of delays caused by weather or other on-site issues. The modular units can be easily transported and assembled in proximity to existing structures, allowing for a smooth transition and minimal disruption during periods of shutdown or relocation.

Our team can strategically position units near your existing facilities for the seamless transfer of equipment and personnel ahead of planned shutdowns. This ensures smooth, uninterrupted operations as the new buildings are integrated into your site without causing delays or disruptions.

#4 OUR BUILDINGS ARE ALWAYS THOROUGHLY BLAST-TESTED BY THIRD-PARTY ENGINEERS TO ENSURE UNBIASED RESULTS 

We prioritize transparency and confidence in the performance of our blast-resistant buildings. That’s why our building designs undergo rigorous blast testing by independent third-party engineers. These tests ensure that our structures meet the highest standards of safety and effectiveness, providing you with an unbiased assessment of their capabilities.

Our commitment to third-party verification is part of our broader dedication to quality and integrity. By engaging external experts to conduct these tests, we eliminate any potential bias and provide you with clear, objective results. The rigorous testing process includes simulating various explosive scenarios to measure the building’s response and resilience under real-world conditions.

Sharing the results of these tests with our clients gives peace of mind and confidence in the safety and reliability of your RedGuard building. We believe in full transparency, so you can trust that your building will perform as expected if faced with blast emergencies.

#5 OUR BUILDINGS ARE FULLY CUSTOMIZABLE TO MEET YOUR NEEDS

From structural adjustments to design choices, we offer a wide range of options to ensure that your blast-resistant building integrates seamlessly with your operational requirements and site conditions.

Our modular design allows for flexibility in both layout and functionality. We can accommodate your requests whether you need specialized interior features like built-in furniture, HVAC systems, or custom exterior finishes to match your company's branding. Our level of customization is like no other on the market.
