Explosion
The evolution of risks, the transformation of industries and the development of urbanism around activity zones significantly increase the number of structures concerned by the risks of criminal or accidental explosions.
Explosion, complex and regulated risks
An explosion can have dramatic consequences on the integrity of your structures. They can cause severe damage or even destroy your structures. In addition, they endanger employees, local residents and can have an impact on the environment.
The risks are known and most often anticipated. However, establishing a study taking into account all the ins and outs remains a complex subject. This is due to the technical complexity and the regulations in force.
Sixense necs advises you on pyrotechnic risks
We evaluate precisely all the risks of explosions to which you may be subjected. If you are a project owner, an operator, a construction company, an insurer, a law firm or an expert, we can answer your pyrotechnical problems.
Detonation and deflagration of pyrotechnic charges
Gas cloud explosion
Fluid release under high compression
Risks on several subjects
For several years, our engineers and experts have mastered the directives and regulations. They provide concrete and referenced answers, particularly for ICPE, nuclear sites and civil engineering structures. In addition, our engineers are familiar with the associated directives and regulations.

Our tools and skills
Our 3D calculation software: Radioss (ALTAIR), Europlexus, (JRC/CEA/EDF/ONERA), Code_Aster. qualified: These softwares allow us to simulate the effects of pyrotechnic charges, the release of pressure ball, the propagation of suppression wave, the interaction with the structure, the bouncing of waves on walls, the nonlinear material and geometrical behavior
Regulations and guides : UFC 3-340-02 – (Department of Defense, USA), EUROCODES, AASTP (NATO), IATG (UN), guides (SFEPA, PPRT/CSTB, CEREMA/INERIS)
Our calculation methods : Can deal with energy values, static equivalent, transient dynamics, shaking and floor spectrum
Our technical assistance : We help you during the realization of experimental tests, certification and obtaining of ATEX and technical notices (CSTB, European)
R&D: We develop products and construction processes resistant to explosion risks. We also set up analysis methods and HMS+ (Digital Twin) solutions
