The safe storage of ammunition, explosives and potentially dangerous goods requires dedicated facilities designed around specific security and safety requirements. Atmas Group provides standard and custom-built storage solutions based on containers, chambers, buildings and critical infrastructure facilities.

According to the company's published information, these facilities can be configured using 20-foot or 40-foot containers, or customized according to customer requirements. Existing facilities can also be upgraded through retrofit protection measures intended to meet specific security and safety needs.

The ammunition storage solutions can be adapted and reinforced to provide high levels of protection against internal and external threats.


Mobile and Stationary Storage Facilities

Atmas Group's portfolio includes both mobile and stationary storage facilities for explosives, ammunition and potentially dangerous goods.

The company describes solutions based on several structural formats:

  • Containers.

  • Chambers.

  • Buildings.

  • Critical infrastructure facilities.

This range allows the storage solution to be considered in relation to the requirements of the particular site and project. The company offers standard configurations as well as custom-built solutions.

The page specifically identifies 20-foot and 40-foot container-based options, while also stating that facilities can be customized according to customer requirements.


Customization and Retrofit Protection Upgrades

Not every storage project has the same structural conditions or protection requirements. Atmas Group states that its solutions can include retrofit protection upgrades intended to meet specific security and safety requirements.

The company's description also states that ammunition storage facilities can be adapted and reinforced to achieve very high protection levels against internal and external threats.

The final configuration depends on the selected facility and the requirements established for the project. Specific protection ratings, dimensions and performance values should be confirmed for the proposed solution.


Key Protective Features

Atmas Group lists five principal protective features for its ammunition and explosives storage facilities.


1 Blast Mitigation Fabric

Blast mitigation fabric is listed as a protective feature intended for shockwave absorption.

Related information is available on the company's Blast Mitigation Fabric page.


2 Lightweight Composite Armour Panels

The facilities may incorporate lightweight composite armour panels to provide additional ballistic resistance.

Atmas Group provides further information about this category on its Composite Armour page.


3 Protective Doors and Windows

The listed features include doors and windows rated for blast, ballistic and forced-entry protection.

The applicable ratings and specifications should be verified for the selected doors and windows, as the general storage-facility description does not identify a single rating applicable to every configuration.


4 Internal Composite Reinforcement Structure

An internal composite reinforcement structure is identified as a feature intended to enhance safety.

This forms part of the protective features described for the storage facilities. The detailed design and configuration should be confirmed for the specific project.


5 Protection Against Shrapnel and Other Threats

The company lists protection against shrapnel, internal explosions and external threats, including rockets, mortar shells and drones.

These are stated protection objectives in the published product description. The page does not provide numerical performance ratings for each threat, so specific protection capabilities must be confirmed for the proposed facility.


Applications

Atmas Group identifies the following applications for its ammunition and explosives storage facilities:

  • Military storage sites.

  • Ammunition depots.

  • Hazardous materials storage.

  • Critical infrastructure.

The solutions are described as intended to provide protection against internal and external threats. Their suitability for a particular site depends on the project requirements and the configuration selected.


Selecting a Suitable Storage Facility

When evaluating a storage solution, the main considerations arising from Atmas Group's published offering include the type of facility, its intended application and the protection requirements.

The following points can help structure an initial project inquiry:

Facility format: Determine whether a container-based, chamber-based or building-based solution is being considered.

Size and customization: The company lists 20-foot and 40-foot container options and customized configurations.

Protection requirements: Identify the relevant internal and external threats and the required protection measures.

Existing facilities: Where an existing structure is involved, assess whether retrofit protection upgrades are required.

Product-specific information: Confirm the proposed configuration, protective features and applicable performance specifications directly with Atmas Group.

These considerations are intended to organize the project discussion; they do not replace a project-specific technical assessment.


Conclusion

Atmas Group offers mobile and stationary storage facilities for explosives, ammunition and potentially dangerous goods. Its published portfolio includes standard and custom-built solutions based on containers, chambers, buildings and critical infrastructure facilities.

The listed features include blast mitigation fabric, lightweight composite armour panels, protective doors and windows, internal composite reinforcement and protection against shrapnel, internal explosions and specified external threats.

For military storage sites, ammunition depots, hazardous materials storage and critical infrastructure projects, the appropriate configuration and its specific protection capabilities should be confirmed with the company.
