Cities - Blast-Resistant Modules

Industrial projects across Maryland rely on flexible infrastructure that can be deployed where and when it is needed. Hunter Onsite provides blast-resistant building rentals for temporary projects, planned maintenance, turnarounds, shutdowns, construction programs, and longer-term operations at high-risk industrial facilities throughout the state.

Our blast-resistant modules can support everything from a small project team to a large onsite workforce. Customers can choose individual BRMs, connected multi-unit complexes, or specialty layouts based on available site space, personnel requirements, project duration, and operational needs.

With safety-focused solutions and support from planning through delivery, Hunter Onsite helps industrial teams protect people while keeping critical operations moving.

BRM Solutions for Projects of Every Size

Every industrial site has different space, occupancy and operational requirements. Hunter Onsite makes it easier to select a blast-resistant module that fits the project, whether the need is for one compact workspace or a connected modular complex supporting an entire team in Maryland.

20-Foot and 40-Foot Single Modules for compact, self-contained workspace
Duplex Through Seven-Plex Complexes for expanded capacity and multiple functional areas
Permit Offices and Tool Rooms that support controlled access and daily site activities
Restroom and Specialty Modules for additional personnel and project needs
Custom Layouts and Features for sites requiring a more specialized configuration

With straightforward roll-off delivery available for most units, BRMs can be placed onsite without the added logistics and expense of a crane.

Purpose-Built Blast-Resistant Modules

Hunter Onsite BRMs are purpose-built as blast-resistant structures—not converted shipping containers. Each unit is designed for demanding industrial environments and identified by its blast pressure rating and response level. Depending on the building and configuration, available modules may be rated for 8–10 psi at a medium-to-low response level.

Finished interiors, electrical outlets, communications connections, lighting, and HVAC create a comfortable, functional workspace for personnel. These features support Hunter Onsite’s goal of protecting people while keeping operations moving throughout Alabama.

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.
