Cintec Worldwide – Bespoke Inflatable Structures & Waterwall

The explosive ordnance disposal (EOD)  Blast Bin works in a similar way to the Isolation Bin except that the design has been optimised for use by specialist Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Blast Bin Crews working on live explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) Blast Bin on military training areas or in post conflict scenarios.

The explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) Blast Bin system is currently deployed by the British Army and being evaluated by the United States Corps of Engineers and the Hong Kong Police and elsewhere. The explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) Blast Bins can be deployed and inflated in under 5 minutes and are capable of suppressing fragmentation arising from most battlefield munitions removing the need to build time consuming sandbag or sand-filled enclosures.

In a test undertaken on behalf of the UK MoD, an 81mm mortar was placed and detonated under an explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) Blast Bin. Another mortar was detonated in the open in order to compare the fragment patterns on the witness screens. Pressure readings were also taken. Following the tests, the unprotected witness screen suffered a considerable number of fragment strikes, whereas the witness screen protected using the explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) Blast Bin had very few strikes at all.

The British Army’s Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Blast Bin Regiment is currently procuring additional Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Blast Bins for handling conventional explosive devices to supplement the isolation bins they already have to handle CBRN incidents. Apart from use by military explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) Blast Bin experts, the explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) Blast Bin is ideal for military and civil security applications.
