BenchMark Wireline has years of experience manufacturing purpose-built explosive storage containers that are suitable for both onshore and offshore environments.
Our storage containers are DNV certified and conform to DNV 2.7-1 and BS EN 12079 standards. Additionally, we are an approved HSE (U.K. Health & Safety Executive) manufacturer and adhere to U.K. HELA explosives regulations. HELA regulations specify details such as metal thickness, hinge strength, plate hardening to prevent locks being drilled and wood lining in storage compartments. BenchMark Wireline has additional standards for corrosion protection.
The containers have separate compartments for shaped charges, and prima cord and detonators. The compartments have a 1-foot void separating them.
These storage containers can be built in a variety of sizes. They are also transportable.
A jettison platform for off-shore applications is also available.
