It would appear that what I'm exposed to is consid=
erably
different, longer, heavier, high pressure rating for blast
impact.
Of these the walls, floors and ceilings are rather=
like
that of false floors that we used to use in large computer
rooms.
Cost is vastly different.
The difference may be due to the API RP-752 stipul=
ations
that are common to the petrochemical industry.
Thanks for the reference.

The most frequently used "Blast resistant modular buildings"=
is
the common 20 foot steel shipping container that gets lined up, welded toge=
ther,
covered with tarps or landscaping cloth and covered with a berm.
The=
containers cost around $500 in most shipping ports in their original state,=
and
after painting run $1500 to $2000. The 40 footers are only slightly more mo=
ney,
but they are really a pain-in-the-neck to transport and stack and are very=
difficult to get rid of. If you can find someone who has a few nasty ones s=
uch
as one that had a reefer (refrigeration) unit go bad the shipping company w=
ill
often pay you to haul the smelly container away after they yank the reefer=
module.
Most micro-factories, and micro-server farms are based aroun=
d the
20 foot containers, not the 40 footers.
The 20 foot containers can=
usually be loaded and unloaded by the truck that deliverers them (single
operator), but the 40 footers usually need extra equipment. You can handle =
two
20 footers on the same size truck as the 40 footers, but the 20's give you =
much
more flexibility.
If you can get used S series equipment shelter tha=
t use
the external dollies you can use them as well, but the curiously the old
military equipment shelters are inferior to the steel shipping containers, =
and
are less desirable for what you are seeking to do.
My preference is =
to
take a once used 20 foot steel shipping container and use those welded onto=
a
straight truck chassis.

I'm explori=
ng avenues
of interest regarding "Blast resistant modular buildings".
My interest today is to explore the ne=
ed of
these buildings for safe havens and security purposes.
I am associated with multiple manufact=
urers of
these customized buildings.
The
wall thickness varies pending the blast pressure (bullet penetration size=
prevention in certain apps) and generally ranges from 1/4" to 1/2" thick=
metal.
These units are=
distributed globally and are heavily on/off shore in the petrochemical
environment.
Internall=
y they
can be configured to satisfy the simple need of showering or to the lates=
t of
computerization.
Pendi=
ng normal
business credit issues the units can be outright purchased or can be rent=
ed
making it easy for middle management to satisfy the needs of safety or
security.
Commonly the=
units
are transported via tractor trailer (30' to 40'
each building) or can be rigged with a=
xles so
that it can function as a mobile command center.
Multiples of the buildings can be stac=
ked
together to create multi-level &/or multi-room field
offices.
These are not=
in any
way lightweight designs that will blow apart in a low order hurricane or=
sustain damage by common household catastrophe means.
Any feedback is
appreciated.
