Protecting personnel in fire and blast rated modular buildings

July 2010

Mech-Tool Engineering Ltd is a recognised specialist in the design and manufacture of modularised buildings required to withstand significant blast overpressures.

Mech-Tool Engineering Ltd is pleased to announce the successful completion of a major contract to design, manufacture and install a fire and blast rated modular office block building to a leading UK refinery.

The building was manufactured in 6 modular sections with the addition of a link corridor that formed an office block measuring 28 meters long x 15 metres wide x 4 metres high when placed on site.

With one of the key project drivers being to minimise the impact on site during installation and with the complexities of lifting, positioning and weather proofing modules of this size within a live oil refinery, the modular sections were trial assembled at Mech-Tool’s quayside facility in Middlesbrough prior to delivery in two phases.
