Containment structures are required for explosives
processing, testing, and demilitarization. Southwest Research Institute (SwRI)
has the expertise needed to solve unique blast containment problems associated
with:
-
Blast effects
-
Field testing
-
Numerical modeling
-
Fabrication
-
Environmental monitoring
The SwRI Engineering Dynamics Department staff can solve a
containment problem from conceptual design through fabrication, proof testing,
and installation.
