Construction of Blast Room

Blast chambers exist in a variety of shapes and sizes, as well as different building methods. Small rooms are frequently constructed from shipping containers that have been modified. Larger rooms are erected on site using interlocking panels, while medium-sized rooms are frequently custom-made in a similar method utilising corrugated steel panels to make a one-piece blast chamber construction.

The size, weight, and access requirements of the blasted work-pieces must all be considered. For blasting, work items are usually placed in the middle of the room on a trestle or bogie, and should not be leaning against the blast room walls, as this may cause premature wear. Heavy products can be moved into the blast chamber using a forklift truck, a bogie on tracks, or an overhead crane through a crane opening in the blast room roof.
