Products
Product #1
The operator needed to conduct pressure testing of vessels and equipment for aerospace applications using gas at high pressures and volumes. The 7-ft cube enclosure was designed to contain various sizes of potential projectiles that could be thrown in the event of an accidental failure or release, the most noteworthy being a flange weighing over 100lbs.
The enclosure was also designed to contain blast loads from the sudden release of high-pressure gas in case of an accidental failure during pressure testing. The roof includes several flanges that the operator hooked up to the airflow and ventilation needed for their test protocol. All construction was done off-site with installation taking only one day to minimize the intrusion to ongoing operations at the facility.
Product #1
BakerRisk’s client needed to perform battery abuse testing for their products used in the electric vehicle industry. The enclosure was designed to contain blast loads from a potential battery explosion that may occur during abuse testing. The enclosure included several ventilation features, including a large intake damper along a side wall, four vent panels occupying the majority of the back wall, and an HVAC scrubber on the roof to detoxify any off-gassing that may occur during testing.
All construction was done off-site with installation taking only one day to minimize the intrusion to ongoing operations at the facility.
Product #2
Proof of concept test
Enclosure slid a couple of inches but contained hazards as designed
Product #3
The operator needed to conduct pressure testing of very large vessels and equipment for aerospace applications using gas at moderate pressures and very significant volumes. The 25-ft cube enclosure was designed to contain relatively small potential projectiles that could be thrown in the event of an accidental failure or release. The enclosure was also designed to contain blast loads from the sudden release of high-pressure gas in case of an accidental failure during pressure testing. The enclosure features a 17-ft wide x 22-ft tall double door to allow access for bringing the large pressure vessels inside for testing.
The enclosure panels were prefabricated, and erection, assembly, and installation were completed on-site.

Discover how expertly designed barricades and solutions, such as BakerRisk’s Shock And Fragment Enclosure (SAFE™), are proven to mitigate hazards.
Blast resistant design, a field that has evolved over decades, is a critical component of ensuring the safety and integrity of facilities in industries with explosion hazards, and, within this context, the strategic placement of structures, or building siting, plays a pivotal role.
Mission Critical Buildings (MCB) are buildings that must remain operational in the event of a crisis or catastrophe in order to minimize risks due to asset damage, business interruption, and personnel impact. MCBs in processing facilities face unintentional operational hazards including explosions, fragments, fires, and toxic events. In the U.S. Chemical Safety Board’s (CSB) investigation report of the Philadelphia Energy Solutions (PES) Refinery incident, a recommendation was included for the American Petroleum Institute (API) to update its standard to “require protection of critical safeguards and associated control system components from fire and explosion hazards, including radiant heat and flying projectiles.” This recommendation, if implemented, would require facilities to ensure MCBs are Multi-hazard Resistant Buildings (MRBs) able to withstand a range of potential impacts; however, even if not adopted by API, this recommendation is likely to become industry best practice regarding MCBs.
Operation and testing of high-pressure products and equipment are commonly completed in a variety of industrial applications, including oilfield services, industrial gas manufacturing and supply, heat exchangers, refining, chemical, petrochemical, water jetting, and vessel manufacturing, among others.
