Blast doors are specially designed closures made to withstand high pressure and shockwaves generated by explosions. Unlike traditional doors, these structures combine high-density materials with reinforced locking systems, providing an effective barrier against flying debris and sudden overpressure.
Blast doors are used in environments where protection from destructive events is critical, such as:
Subway and railway stations, to withstand massive air displacements caused by trains
Banks and financial institutions, to safeguard vaults and strongrooms
Government buildings and embassies, to protect sensitive areas and operations rooms
Data centers and server farms, to ensure operational continuity in case of attacks or industrial incidents
High-risk industrial facilities such as refineries, gas compression stations, and chemical plants
Military structures, bunkers, control towers, and other strategic locations
RED srl offers custom-designed blast doors, tailored to the specific requirements of each project:
Personalized technical consulting
Risk analysis and development of a project specification, considering expected pressure and site configuration.
In-factory production
Use of certified steel, composite materials, and special seals; each door undergoes internal testing for tightness and resistance.
Certifications and lab testing
Collaboration with accredited bodies to perform tests according to international standards (e.g., STANAG, ISO blast requirements).
Professional installation
Specialized technicians ensure perfect installation, watertight seals, and integration with armored doors, reinforced subframes, and automation systems.
Scheduled maintenance and support
Periodic inspection plans for mechanical checks, seal integrity, and proper function of automatic closures.
