A Fire Rated Enclosure: A Guardian Angel to Protecting Your System from the Wrath of Fire

Daily, multiple industries implement various protective systems. Among these, a fire rated enclosure is considered one of the most important. Whether in the form of a fire barrier, or perhaps a multi sided system constructed using a fire rated panel or fire rated board such as a fire rated column enclosure, the goal is to ensure that in the event of a fire, any valuable equipment or structural member is fully protected. However, stopping a fire from spreading also protects the business structure as well as people inside.

A few examples of the things that absolutely require a fire-resistant enclosure include:

• Components located in primary circuits
• Circuits for fire and life safety systems
• Load bearing members of buildings and structures
• Equipment containing flammable liquids

The type of equipment dictates how long fire protection lasts. For example, lighting, exhaust fans, speakers, plumbing, and low voltage control boxes may only require a one-hour enclosure constructed from fire rated board, whereas other equipment could require fire protection between two and four hours. Even the exact type of enclosure varies according to exact need.

Protect Your Critical Systems with DuraSystems’ Blast Enclosure

A blast enclosure, which could also be constructed of blast walls, is perfectly engineered to ensure that your operation has the right amount of protection against destructive blasts. With the appropriate blast enclosure design, your operation will be more efficient and less expensive. In addition, blast walls can be reconfigured according to your specific blast wall design specifications, meaning you are not provided with a cookie-cutter solution that delivers a less-than-desirable outcome.

A blast enclosure is comprised of doors, panels, and various other components that make up the enclosure system. It is important that you hire a reputable company that uses the highest-quality materials proven to stand up devastating blasts and even fire. As opposed to getting a bolted-together enclosure, you will end up with a masterfully engineered system that performs optimally for its intended purpose.

When the blast wall design has a rating of up to 2 bar blast over-pressure, you have confidence that your equipment, machinery, piping, vital cabling, and, more importantly, your employees will be protected. These enclosures are designed in such a way that the effects from a potentially devastating event are properly mitigated. This keeps your workers safe and ensures that critical systems are still operational should an explosion occur.
