Esso – Blast Office and Welfare Complex

The brief

Thurston was briefed to design, manufacture, and install a blast-resistant welfare building with various rooms and specific safety requirements.

The challenges

Disruption needed to be minimal, due to the site being live and operational. There were also specific blast-resistance requirements that needed to be met.

The solution

Liaising with an external civil contractor, Thurston manufactured a series of blast units for the client, ultimately forming a blast resistant complex including a reception and welfare block.

The complex, complete with air conditioning, also features a large open plan office space, with meeting rooms, a kitchenette, and three smaller offices.

Offsite construction allowed Thurston to keep disruption to a minimum. The project was delivered to Esso on time, within budget and to a high standard.

All buildings have been designed to withstand up to 100mbar blast resistance.
