  1. Types of Buildings for Explosives Storage

  2. Types of Buildings • Light structured buildings • Medium wall building • Heavy walled building • Earth covered building • Igloo • Open bay, or open site • Process building • Container storage

  3. Light Structured Buildings

  4. Medium Walled Buildings

  5. Heavy Walled Buildings PES: Heavy Wall, reinforced roof PES: Heavy Wall, reinforced roof, but with a frangible facing wall towards an ES PES: Heavy Wall, but without a reinforced roof

  6. Earth Covered Buildings

  7. Igloos

  8. Open Bay or Site

  9. Process Buildings

  10. Container Storage

  11. Buildings: Non-Explosive Use

  12. Buildings: Vulnerable Construction • Examples: • Sensitive structures such as old historic, buildings • Large factories • Multi-storey office or apartment buildings • Public buildings and structures of major value • Large educational facilities • Hospitals • Major transport centres • Major public utilities such as water, gas

  13. Design Considerations • IATG 05:20 • Whole Building Design Guide (WBDG)

  14. Design – Explosive Storage • Examples: • Easy to keep clean • Access for checking and movement • Access for free movement of air • Fittings located to avoid fouling by MHE • Electrical equipment appropriate to content • Lightning protection • Gangways • Temperature 5°C or rises above 25°C

  15. Design – Protective Buildings - Personnel Buildings which are required to provide protection to personnel, such as process buildings and other occupied buildings, and which are inside the Internal Quantity Distance (IQD) for a PES, should be designed to resist blast loadings and penetration by fragments and debris

  16. Design – Ammunition Requiring Special Consideration • Rockets and missiles • HD1.1 shaped charge warheads

  17. Construction Materials • IATG 05:20 • Do not use flammable materials • Watertight construction • Fixing of equipment to walls and roofs

  18. Construction Materials • Roofs • Floors • External & internal walls • Drainage • Doors • Windows and other glazing • Ventilation and air conditioning • Heating and utilities • Lifting equipment • Lightening protection

  19. Electrical Requirements • Categories: • A (most ‘protective’) • B • C (standard for ammunition storage buildings) • D
