Blast-resistant buildings look the same as any other transportable office facilities or lunchrooms. But there is one important and notable difference: they’re built to withstand the force of an explosion, flying debris and all types of weather conditions, including extreme cold and snow.
Temporary Space Solutions For Industrial Worksites
Are industrial explosions or blasts a risk, or simply part of the process, on your worksite? While your safety programs and a safety-focused work culture help minimize risks, the unfortunate reality is that emergencies can happen at any time. Even during the most well-planned operations, workers have been known to suffer injury from industrial explosions or blasts. That’s why BOXX Modular provides a range of portable blast-resistant buildings to protect your crew when they need it most.
Our blast-resistant buildings are ideal for use as temporary office space in refinery, upgrader, or active producing sites. You can easily upgrade your blast-resistant building by adding a convenient package of practical furnishings, so your space is ready to use immediately once installation is complete.
If you need seating for a lunchroom, meeting room, conference room, or for any other reason, BOXX Modular has multiple table and chair packages to choose from.
Our office packages include all the essentials, including a desk, chair, floor mat and garbage can. We also have other add-on products for extra comfort, decoration and more.
From stairs, ramps and canopies to mats and boot scrapers, our team of modular experts can help ensure that you have everything you need for your modular building.

What is a modular blast-resistant building?
A modular blast-resistant building is a modular office that is built to withstand the force of an explosion, flying debris, and extreme weather conditions.
When should I choose a modular blast-resistant structure over a standard modular office?
Modular blast-resistant buildings should be chosen over standard modular offices when industrial explosions/blasts, fires, extreme weather, or toxic chemical releases are a risk on your work site. While both options provide a variety of critical work space such as offices, workstations, and lunchrooms, blast-resistant buildings are engineered to protect personnel and critical equipment in the event of an emergency.
What industries use modular blast-resistant buildings?
Modular blast-resistant structures are commonly used in oil and gas (ex. refineries, upgraders, drilling rigs), chemical processing, manufacturing, defense/military, mining operations, and industrial sectors where increased staff and equipment protection is necessary.
