In the early days of the blast-resistant building industry, RedGuard was approached to design a new option for mobile modular blast-resistant buildings. In response, the company created its first generation of steel blast-resistant buildings. At the same time, it also started building LeaseFleet, what is now North America’s largest fleet of steel, blast-resistant buildings. These leasable blast-resistant structures are used for projects all over the world when a temporary solution for safe space in a hazardous area is required.
Additionally, RedGuard started conceptualizing, designing, engineering, and producing custom blast-resistant buildings that are used as control rooms, change houses, laboratories, administrative offices, decontamination units and much more. This division became known as SafetySuite.
Over the years, RedGuard has expanded its offerings to encompass diverse solutions within the blast-resistant building space. The company collaborates with trusted third-party engineering firms to provide comprehensive services such as facility siting studies, quantitative risk assessments, structural consulting services, as well as on-site services. RedGuard also offers a wide array of specialized products, including non-blast steel-plated modular buildings, modular security buildings and turnstiles, chemical storage buildings, storm shelters, and marine-grade offshore modular living and working quarters.
Overall, RedGuard has successfully completed a wide range of diverse projects worldwide. What sets us apart is the ability to adapt, produce, and deliver solutions, whether it requires blast-resistant expertise or a service line dedicated to solving complex challenges.
