[Case Study] Heiki Marine Transport Co., Ltd. <Explosion-proof Structure>

The installation of a "ceiling" necessary for temperature management is not possible. A solution has emerged by focusing on the on-site environment.

We would like to introduce a case study of problem-solving at Heiki Kaiun, which has newly entered the hazardous materials warehouse industry that requires special structures and strict constraints. The basic structure of a hazardous materials warehouse is designed to allow for explosions to vent from the roof. When temperature control is necessary, the installation of "ceiling insulation panels" is effective, but it is rare to obtain installation permission under the Fire Service Act. Therefore, we approached the solution with a "ceiling installation." We focused on a site facing the sea with few adjacent buildings and pedestrian traffic, proposing a "lateral" explosion venting structure that directs the explosion away from the door. By reducing the risk of triggering an accident through the "size of the reserved space" and ensuring that the explosion direction is towards the spacious area and the sea, and by designing the door as an explosion venting structure, we were able to prove its strength numerically and obtain permission from the fire department.
