Full suite of custom blast-resistant complexes in Texas
A refinery in Texas recently needed a comprehensive suite of blast-resistant complexes to ensure worker safety while maximizing productivity. With top-of-the line, completely custom BRMs and an industry- leading design/build process, Satellite was able to successfully meet the customer's needs in the timeline provided.
The project consisted of several multiplex buildings totaling over 53,000 square feet of blast-resistant office space. The space was broken into several separate blast-resistant complex buildings including four 7-plex buildings, five 6-plex buildings, three 4-plex buildings, and several double- wide and single-wide mobile offices. Each unit was completely customized and built to the customer's exact specifications.
With Satellite's full project management and site supervision services, each unit was crane-set and arranged to fit inside the jobsite. The interiors of each unit consist of state-of-the-art features to maximize worker safety, including gas detection systems and installed voice and data jacks. The painted walls, suspended ceilings and tile floors create a modern but practical interior, while furniture including tables, chairs, desks, cubicles and completely outfitted conference rooms offer both functionality and a polished, finished product for employees to enjoy for years to come.
Satellite can meet blast-resistant space needs of all sizes and complexities. BRMs are meticulously designed to protect and shelter your workers in the event of an explosion.
