What is needed to design and construct a blast resistant building? This webinar will help answer question and will show the importance of keeping the blast resistant design in focus throughout the project.
For new buildings within refineries, chemical plants, and petrochemical sites, recent updates to the API RP 752 clarify that “new buildings intended for occupancy…shall be designed to meet the siting evaluation criteria”, including consideration for blast, thermal, and toxic hazards. For manufacturing facilities where there is a potential for deflagration within a building, the International Building Code and NFPA 68/69 provide requirements for the building construction to resist blast loading.
The requirements are clear, yet the question remains – what is needed to ensure your blast resistant building meets the requirements? BakerRisk has completed hundreds of blast resistant building designs, which in turn has shown us that a clear definition of requirements is only one of many important steps to ensure that the constructed building will provide the desired level of protection. Join us to learn other important steps to ensure that your next blast resistant building project goes as planned.
Covered in this webinar:
Major updates to our patented Hazardous Area Classification (HAC) software are arriving soon. BakerRisk's HACTool© will now incorporate new updates aligned with the latest revisions of NFPA 497, NFPA 499, IEC 60079-10-1, and IEC 60079-10-2 standards.
Join BakerRisk’s Theresa Lewis, Michael Metcalfe-Smith, and Alexandre Cardoso, P. Eng., during which our experts will discuss why process safety management (PSM) is a critical component of safe growth in renewable fuel industries—even when not required—and how to effectively implement key PSM elements to support resilient, sustainable operations.
The webinar will highlight the release of our new best practice, “F&G Detector Mapping,” during which our experts will discuss the importance of incorporating fire & gas detection systems capable of detecting gas leaks, fires, and related hazards to reduce and mitigate risks at operating facilities.
Join BakerRisk consultants Roger Stokes and Rob Magraw as they deliver an introduction to incident investigations.
In this presentation, BakerRisk’s Travis Holland, P.E., M.S., and Brian Royo will deliver insights into Multi-Hazard Resistant Building (MRB) Design, key concepts of protective building design, and the dynamic response of different building materials to hazards common in processing facilities.
