Ballistic Design Engineering

GDA have considerable expertise in the area of explosion and bullet resistant design.

Our company has conducted several range tests to prove the protection and resistance offered by our designs. We have particular skills in the design of lightweight explosion resistant glazing which can cope with the detonation of very large vehicle bombs at close range.

Examples of GDA's work includes the design and testing of the FrameGard window film anchoring system. See the photo gallery for recent tests to windows fitted with GDA designed FrameGard.

We have experience in:

Design of resistant curtainwall and glazing systems

Design of protective structures for military and civil use

Design of window and door elements in steel or aluminium for resistance to burglary, bullet and explosion

Planning and supervision of range tests and laboratory tests

Specialist structural and dynamic 3D analysis
