Blast Resistant Modular Buildings | Safe, Durable, and Ready for Harsh Environments
Blast resistant modular buildings are engineered for safety in high-risk industries. These prefabricated units provide a secure environment for personnel and equipment, offering fast deployment, structural integrity, and compliance with safety regulations.
Modular Blast Resistant Buildings for Hazardous Worksites
Blast resistant modular buildings (BRMs) are prefabricated structures designed to protect personnel, equipment, and operations in explosion-prone environments. Built to endure pressure from industrial blasts, they are commonly deployed in oil and gas facilities, refineries, and chemical plants.
These portable buildings are engineered to meet stringent safety standards while providing a comfortable and functional space for daily operations, ranging from offices to control rooms.
Key Features of Blast Resistant Buildings:
- Pre-engineered for high blast pressure resistance
- Ideal for petrochemical, refinery, and industrial zones
- Portable and modular for flexible site layouts
- Available with HVAC, lighting, and telecom integration
- Meets relevant industry and safety regulations
Flexible Designs for Mission-Critical Operations
Blast proof modular buildings come in a wide range of sizes and configurations. Each unit can be customized to serve as a control room, break area, equipment shelter, or mobile office in high-risk zones. Modular construction allows rapid deployment, easy relocation, and reduced on-site labor.
This flexibility supports evolving project needs without compromising safety or durability. BRMs are ideal for temporary setups, plant turnarounds, or permanent installations.
- Layouts include control rooms, restrooms, and tool cribs
- Stackable or connectable modules for scalable footprint
- Reduced site disruption during installation
- Weatherproof and corrosion-resistant materials
- Configurable floorplans and outfitting options
Engineered for Safety, Compliance, and Peace of Mind
All blast resistant modular buildings are built to comply with OSHA, API RP 752/753, and site-specific risk assessments. Each unit is fabricated using reinforced steel and specialized wall systems to withstand blast loads and minimize overpressure injuries.
Units can be rated for specific PSI levels and standoff distances to match project hazard profiles. From material selection to structural testing, safety is engineered into every detail.
- Compliant with OSHA and API RP 752/753
- Rated for various blast overpressures (e.g., 5–8 PSI)
- Structural steel frame with reinforced wall panels
- Third-party engineering certification available
- Built-in safety egress and emergency lighting

Frequently Asked Questions
BRMs are most commonly used in the oil and gas, petrochemical, refining, and chemical processing industries. They also serve power plants, industrial construction sites, and hazardous manufacturing environments where explosion risk or pressure exposure requires additional personnel protection.
Not necessarily. BRMs are modular and relocatable, meaning they can be temporarily deployed during outages or installed permanently for long-term use. Their portability makes them ideal for turnarounds, expansions, and remote site operations.
Each unit is designed to meet specific PSI overpressure ratings based on site risk analysis. Ratings often range from 1 to 8 PSI, with different wall systems, anchoring, and standoff distances required depending on the hazard. Units may also meet API RP 752/753 and OSHA guidance.
Blast resistant modular buildings come in a wide range of sizes, from single-room shelters to large connected complexes. Layouts can include offices, bathrooms, control rooms, equipment storage, or hybrid uses. We help clients customize interiors to match project needs.
Yes. Most BRMs can be outfitted with full mechanical, electrical, and telecom systems. SSG integrates these into your project scope, ensuring all utilities, lighting, climate control, and network wiring are in place and operational upon delivery.
Southwest Solutions Group does not manufacture BRMs. We partner with your project team to design, source, and implement the right building solution. We handle layout design, site prep, delivery coordination, and utility connections as part of a turnkey service.
