Cities - Blast-Resistant Modules

Protect personnel and support ongoing operations with blast-resistant modules delivered throughout Massachusetts by Hunter Onsite. Our rental fleet includes BRMs in a range of sizes and floor plans designed to support industrial offices, break rooms, conference spaces, control functions, maintenance teams, contractors, and other essential onsite activities.

Standard blast-resistant buildings can be deployed quickly for temporary projects, while connected modules and specialty configurations provide additional flexibility for larger workforces and complex industrial sites. From planned turnarounds and shutdowns to ongoing facility operations, Hunter Onsite helps customers create safer, more functional workspace close to where the work is happening.

Choosing the Right Blast-Resistant Module for Your Site

The right blast-resistant module depends on workforce size, intended use, site placement, and project duration. Hunter Onsite offers BRM rentals throughout Massachusetts, from individual 20-foot and 40-foot units to connected complexes and specialty configurations.

Consider Your Workspace Needs

✓ Number of personnel who will occupy the building

✓ Office, break room, meeting, control, or specialty use

✓ Need for individual rooms or multiple functional areas

Consider Your Site Requirements

✓ Available space and proposed building location

✓ Access for delivery and module placement

✓ Project schedule, rental duration, and potential changes in workforce size

Protection Built for the Way You Work

A blast-resistant module should do more than provide physical protection. It should give personnel a functional, comfortable place to work while supporting the facility’s daily operations. Hunter Onsite BRMs combine documented blast ratings with finished interiors, electrical service, communications capabilities, lighting, and climate control for a professional onsite workspace.

From initial unit selection and delivery through onsite service, relocation, and project completion, Hunter Onsite provides support throughout the rental lifecycle. Our team helps industrial customers in Massachusetts manage changing workforce, site, and project requirements while keeping critical work moving safely and efficiently.

What Guidelines Apply to Blast-Resistant Modules?

There is no single rating or configuration that makes a blast-resistant module appropriate for every facility. BRM selection and placement should be based on a site-specific hazard assessment, the module’s engineered blast rating, intended occupancy and applicable facility requirements.

The American Petroleum Institute provides widely recognized recommended practices for managing hazards associated with buildings at process facilities:

API RP 752 addresses permanent process-plant buildings and certain portable buildings intended for long-term use in a fixed location.
API RP 753 addresses portable buildings located at process plants.

These recommended practices consider risks associated with explosions, fires and toxic-material releases. Facility owners and their qualified safety and engineering professionals are responsible for determining the appropriate building type, rating and location for each application.
