Illustrative application guide

Explore a typical oil and gas site in 3D.

Rotate the model, then select a numbered building to see the BA products that could be considered for its doors and glazing. It is a guide for discussion, not an engineering assessment or a guarantee that any rating is required or achieved.

Generic illustrative model. Not a real site, a BA installation or an engineering assessment.

Positions in these models do not set protection requirements, and no hazard zones or distances are shown. Product options are examples for discussion; suitability and ratings depend on each project’s requirements and verified test evidence.
