Explosion hazard and safety analysis

Safety Analysis

Explosion Hazard and Safety Analysis are an integral part of our business. GDA offer explosion hazard and safety analysis to the chemical industry, refinery operators, explosives and propellant manufacturers.

We advise multinational companies when developing emergency procedures such as fire and bomb threat evacuations.

Our work for industry frequently involves the prediction of the magnitude of an accidental explosion and the resulting damage that can occur both on and off site, including blast overpressure, debris and fragment hazards.

We have experience in:

Emergency procedures in the event of fire, bomb or other threats

Explosives hazard evaluation

Blast loads from planned and accidental explosions

Explosion-resistant structural analysis and design

Structural dynamics and vibration, including inelastic response

Conventional weapons effects

Terminal ballistics

Fragmentation and fragment impact effects

Safe siting criteria

Blast and impact testing

Development of programme or test plans.
