Case Overview
A major energy logistics provider operating a strategic fuel storage depot in Southern Europe required a comprehensive security upgrade.
The primary challenge was protecting multiple high-capacity fuel storage tanks situated near a public transport corridor. The existing chain-link industrial security fence offered zero protection against potential kinetic impacts or blast shockwaves. The company needed a heavy-duty perimeter blast wall that could be installed quickly without interrupting the daily distribution traffic of the depot.
Solution
The deployment plan focused on maximizing material density to optimize blast wave dispersion.
- Total Distance Covered: 500m continuous barrier system.
- Configuration: Double-layer protection near primary storage tanks; single-layer along the outer road.
- Filling Material: Local high-density crushed gravel, selected specifically to maximize mass and shockwave resistance.
- Installation Time: Completed in under 5 working days using standard earth-moving equipment.
Verified Project Results
1.The interlocked gravel cells successfully created an energy-absorbing mass capable of deflecting high-pressure shockwaves away from volatile fuel tanks.
2.In the event of an impact or explosion, the flexible geotextile and mesh design retains the fill material, ensuring controlled impact dispersion and preventing dangerous secondary shrapnel.
3.The barrier layout left clear, planned service lanes, allowing facility technicians to maintain full, unhindered maintenance access to all fuel pipes and valves.
