Blast Resistant Buildings (BRB)

Protect Your Workforce With A Proven Blast Standard

Protect personnel with blast resistant buildings in UAE projects engineered against API RP 752 for permanent structures and API RP 753 for portable buildings, a standard that exists because of a 2005 refinery explosion where most fatalities were workers in unrated temporary buildings. Treat a properly engineered BRB as a documented safety requirement, not an optional upgrade.

Rate Every Component To The Same Standard

Rate every door, window and penetration to the same blast pressure as the walls, since a single weaker component drops the entire structure’s protection down to its level. Design every element of your BRB, walls, doors, windows, penetrations, to one consistent rated standard, not just the parts that are easiest to reinforce.

Engineer Against Every Hazard On Site

Address fire exposure, toxic gas ingress, flying debris and extreme weather alongside blast pressure, since these risks all coexist in the same high-hazard environment. Engineer your BRB as a multi-hazard structure from the start, because a building that survives the blast but fails on fire resistance hasn’t solved the problem.

Station Your Team Where Protection Matters Most

Station personnel safely near process areas, control rooms, site offices, equipment rooms and safe havens across refineries, petrochemical plants and gas processing facilities. Combine distance from the hazard source as your first line of protection with a rated structure as your second.

Manufacture To Accent's Precision Standard

Manufacture your BRB through the same offsite process behind every Accent product, factory controlled fabrication, tested components, and structural certification completed before the unit leaves Fujairah. Hold your building to the standard built specifically to protect the people working nearest to the highest risk on site.
