Explo­si­on-pro­of units are beco­ming more and more stan­dard deman­dof oil and che­mi­cal com­pa­nies. People´s safe­ty is the highest pri­o­ri­ty. Explo­si­on-pro­of units star­ted to be hot topic after the trage­dy in BP refi­ne­ry in Texas in 2005 when many peo­ple were killed after a huge explo­si­on. Main­ly tho­se who were in buil­dings - killed by debris of construction.

Exxon Mobil as the big­gest oil pro­du­cer in the world was aware of this dan­ger and for the wor­kers in Slagen­tan­gen refi­ne­ry deci­ded to use blast resistant tem­po­ra­ry modu­lar buil­dings. After two mon­ths of deve­lo­p­ment with Norwegi­an part­ner and Exxon Mobil has Koma intro­du­ced explo­si­on pro­of modu­le in size of 7,43m and 1,3 Psi blast resistance.

Koma pas­sed sup­plier audit carried out by Exxon Mobil engi­neers and after inspecti­on of pro­to­ty­pe, the serial pro­ducti­on of who­le pro­ject could have begun. Finally, 6 buil­dings - 47 modu­les in total were deli­ve­red and the main goal was rea­ched - peo­ple occu­py­ing the buil­dings are saved aga­inst blast.
