Modular Prefabricated Hazardous Material and Explosive Storage Buildings

Modular Hazardous Materials Storage Buildings are utilized when an owner/end-user requests a larger square-footage unit to be placed in a small footprint site area, where multiple stand alone buildings are not a reasonable alternative. There may also be savings where redundant heating, cooling and electrical packages are not furnished for multiple buildings.

Two or more units are shipped to the site area and erected by means of a rigging process and bolted together, for a complete installation. Depth partition walls may be added to a unit to compartment and segregate non-compatible chemicals or specialty gases.

A detailed example of a Modular SUPERloc Building can be seen here.

Modular construction may be utilized for any of our units. The portfolio includes Fireloc (Uni-directional and Bi-directional two hour fire rating), Superloc (Bi-directional four hour fire rating), Chemloc and Magloc (for both ATF and Military standards). Explosion Proof and Non-Explosion Proof are offered as directed by codes/regulations, as well as owner requests. Due to transportation constraints, units are not to exceed 14’- 0” in width and 62’- 00” in length.

• Each modular is manufactured to the customers needs and the series construction as mentioned above.
• Heat and Cooling calculations are provided to properly size heating and cooling units to meet the end-user building desired temperature range.
• Particular attention is addressed to an owner/end-user accessories package. Where units have specific fire ratings or explosion proof designs, the factory installs these accessories to exacting specification and code requirements. This value-added service insures the owner/end-user that their unit is compliant and saves any outsourcing after the factory installation of the modular units has been installed.
• General Arrangement and Submittal Drawings are furnished with an engineer’s seal prior to submittal to the owner/end-user, architect or engineer. Third party and State Approvals are available in all 50 states and territories. This aids the client with permitting, local planning boards and fire marshal approval.

Included Accessories and Approvals

Listed below are standard supplied options.

• The Signage is a permanent D.O.T. metal flip placard with rust proof aluminum holder and stainless steel clips. There is also one (1) pressure sensitive NFPA 704 Hazard Rating sign on door. This applies to chemical storage buildings (Chemloc, Fireloc and Superloc).
• Certifications include Factory Mutual (FM) Approval label affixed to all approved chemical storage buildings (Chemloc, Fireloc and Superloc).
• The Building Finish: After an extensive cleaning process the interior and exterior surfaces are protected with a high performance 2-part epoxy base coat (primer) and a high finish polyurethane top coat providing proven interior chemical resistance as well as exterior abrasion, corrosion, UV resistance and exceptional durability. This finish is applied to all buildings (Chemloc, Fireloc, Superloc and Magloc) unless otherwise specified.
