Backed by our full engineering capability, we are dedicated to meeting the safety requirements of our customers with reliable and robust blast-resistant door solutions.

Product Details: 

AMBICO’s Blast & Pressure Resistant Doors & Frames are engineered to provide unparalleled performance in the face of explosive threats. Here are the key product details:

  • Blast and Air Pressure Resistance: Our blast-resistant steel doors and frames are designed to withstand the impact of blasts and air pressure, ensuring the safety and protection of occupants. These products have been rigorously tested by independent laboratories, complying with the most up-to-date blast resistance test standards.
  • Easy-to-Operate Door Systems: Our blast-resistant products are furnished with builders hardware that offers an easy-to-operate door system. This ensures smooth functionality and efficient operation, allowing for quick and safe access during normal operations.
  • Fire Labelled Certification: Our blast-resistant doors and frames have undergone testing in accordance with NFPA-80 and UL-10C and certified by Underwriters Laboratories and Warnock Hersey International. This certification guarantees that our products meet the highest fire safety standards, providing additional peace of mind.
  • Factory Pre-Installed Glazing: For added convenience and efficiency, our blast-resistant doors are available with factory pre-installed glazing. This ensures a seamless integration of the glazing into the door system, maximizing both security and aesthetics.

Use Cases: 

AMBICO’s Blast & Pressure Resistant Doors & Frames find valuable applications in various industries and projects where blast protection is essential. Here are some key use cases:

  1. US Military Projects: Our blast-resistant doors and frames meet the rigorous standards set by the Department of Defense (DoD) Minimum Antiterrorism Standards for Buildings. Whether retrofitting existing buildings or constructing new ones, our products provide the necessary blast pressure resistance to protect DoD personnel from terrorist attacks.
  2. Industrial Projects: The petrochemical industry and other industrial sectors prioritize blast resistance to ensure the safety of their facilities. Our blast-resistant doors and frames are ideal for process plants, storage areas for flammable and pressurized materials, paint booths, and ETO sterilization rooms for medical and pharmaceutical products.
  3. Government Facilities and Critical Infrastructure: Protect government facilities and critical infrastructure installations, such as power plants, water treatment facilities, and communication centers. These installations are potential targets for malicious attacks, and blast-resistant solutions are crucial to ensuring the safety of personnel and the uninterrupted functioning of essential services.

Door hardware has been specifically designed and tested to form an integral part of AMBICO blast resistant units. When the door is under pressure in the unseated position the entire assembly can be subject to severe structural loads.

We recognize that blast resistant steel overhead doors are a highly specialized product. AMBICO engineers look forward to working with AEC (Architectural/Engineering/Construction) professionals to provide a detailed specification prior to tender in order to meet the demands associated with unique project applications.

AMBICO has extensive experience with the installation of these products. On request, AMBICO provides a lead-hand from the factory to work closely with local installation forces to review the scope of work at the site, to assist with the layout of the materials and to troubleshoot at the close-out of the project.

Blast events are defined by two distinct phases, an initial phase where the full amount of the explosive pressure specified is loaded onto the assembly and a second phase which is also known as the “rebound” pressure where the initial blast pressure dissipates to the ambient pressure immediately prior to the blast event. The extent of the blast pressure during the rebound phase is expressed as a percentage of the initial blast pressure. This figure ranges from zero percent to one hundred percent. When a 100% rebound load is specified the door assembly must withstand the full load of the blast in both directions. When the rebound load is 0% the door assembly must withstand the blast load in the initial phase only.
