ROEIVs (Remote Operated Emergency Isolation Valves) can isolate larger inventories near the source thereby reducing the potential for long-duration releases downstream of the vessel. In 2024, the Chemical Safety Board (CSB) issued CSB Safety Study: No. 2024-01-H which reviewed numerous investigations by the CSB of incidents that escalated due to the lack of effective remote isolation equipment. Due to those cases, the CSB recommended that both companies and industry regulators develop processes to evaluate the need for ROEIVs in refinery, chemical, and storage facilities that can be remotely activated from a safe location or automatically activated during a release.

Design of blast-resistant buildings requires specialized tools and expertise. Blast Resource Group has developed a checklist that can be used to evaluate technical specifications within an RFP to ensure the requirements are clear and complete. 

This blast-resistant building design specification outlines the critical features and engineering standards required to protect new metal building structures from explosive incidents. Buildings designed in accordance with the specification are able to withstand extreme pressure loads caused by blasts, minimizing damage and occupant vulnerability. The specification includes the appropriate methodologies for design, selection of materials, criteria for evaluation, and general guidance. The specification is informed by industry standards such as ASCE and UFC blast design codes, ensuring the building meets or exceeds regulatory requirements for blast protection.

Blast Resource Group is excited to announce our new strategic partnership with Homegardd Pte. Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of GDS Global Limited (GDS). This collaboration marks a significant milestone in our mission to deliver cutting-edge solutions for blast-resistant infrastructure.
