MineARC has the engineering capabilities to perform in-house blast analysis calculations on all refuge chambers and safe havens. In addition, third party testing can be performed by professional blast engineers at an additional cost.
As part of an in-depth analyses, third party blast engineers will develop Building Damage Level (BDL) curves in order to test the performance of a MineARC chamber, taking into consideration the orientation of the unit with respect the explosion source.
In addition, blast engineers can also calculate the Occupant Vulnerability (OV); the percentage of personnel within the chamber that could sustain fatal injuries at different levels of building damage.
