Your Partner for Blast-Resistant Modular Solutions
Established in 1999, Hunter Buildings revolutionized the industrial safety sector by pioneering blast-resistant modular structures tailored for extreme environments. Our company's origins trace back to a mission to safeguard oil and gas workers, disaster relief personnel, and conflict zone operatives through innovative engineering. With a global footprint spanning the United States, Europe, the UK, the Middle East, and Canada, we deliver 100% custom, modular, and blast-resistant buildings that exceed API RP 752/753/756 standards while maintaining the efficiency of prefabricated construction. Our proprietary double-hulled design methodology eliminates reliance on scarce ballistic steel, ensuring cost-effective solutions without compromising 17.9 PSI blast protection capabilities.Through 25 years of specialized expertise, we've engineered structures for 8 PSI-rated offshore platforms, ATEX-compliant refineries, and hurricane-resistant shelters, achieving EHS Today's 'America's Safest Companies' recognition through rigorous safety protocols. Our vertically integrated approach combines in-house design, fabrication, and turnkey site services to streamline projects from concept to commissioning, offering sales, leasing, and rapid deployment options across 90-day delivery windows. With manufacturing hubs strategically positioned to minimize shipping costs and lead times, we serve critical infrastructure sectors including energy, defense, and disaster response with precision-engineered solutions that prioritize personnel safety and operational continuity.

Custom Blast-Resistant Buildings
Engineered to withstand explosions, fires, and toxic materials, these 100% customizable buildings meet 8-17.9 PSI blast requirements. Designed for petroleum refineries, chemical plants, and conflict zones, they feature multi-module complexes, gas detection systems, and NFPA 496 compliance. Modular construction reduces onsite labor by 40% while maintaining API RP 752/753 standards.
Forced Entry Resistant Buildings
Certified to US Department of State FE/BR 5/15/60 standards, these structures protect personnel in war zones and high-risk areas. Steel exteriors with 550 mbar blast resistance incorporate bullet-resistant panels and thermostatically controlled HVAC systems. Available with SCIF-compliant configurations for sensitive operations and secure facilities.
Offshore Buildings
ABS-certified A60-rated buildings for oil platforms and drilling rigs feature 8 PSI blast protection and SOLAS compliance. Designed for extreme maritime conditions, these units include integrated fire systems, Class I Div 2 electrical ratings, and potable water systems. Configurable for living quarters, control rooms, and medical facilities on fixed or mobile offshore installations.
Storm Shelters
Prefabricated shelters withstand EF5 tornadoes (250 mph winds) and Category 5 hurricanes while meeting FEMA 361 guidelines. Prefabricated designs achieve 8 PSI blast ratings with rapid deployment capabilities, featuring decontamination rooms, emergency power systems, and modular scalability for temporary housing or industrial operations in hurricane zones.
Blast Doors
Third-party tested to 17.9 PSI peak pressure, these 575lb doors feature marine-grade insulation and 6,614lb-rated hinges. Available with ADA-compliant closers and vision panels, they provide secure access for new and existing structures while maintaining less than 0.5% leakage under extreme blast conditions.
