Structure of the AEGIS Cascade Protective System

The system is assembled step by step, from the installation of load-bearing posts to the formation of a completed cascading protective perimeter around the facility

Concrete Base Blocks and Installation of Load-Bearing Posts

Vertical load-bearing posts are mounted onto a concrete base, forming the basic structural framework of the future protective perimeter. The posts are securely fixed to the base and ensure the stability of the entire system

Installation of Horizontal Guides

Horizontal guides are mounted onto the vertical load-bearing posts installed on the concrete base. They form the basic framework for the future protective perimeter. The guides are securely fixed to the support structure and ensure the stability of the entire system

Suspended Panel Mounting Method

The panels are designed with four mounting holes for attaching Z-shaped brackets. The panels are suspended on the load-bearing elements of the metal frame. The brackets are fixed with bolts to prevent panel movement. This fastening method ensures panel stability and allows quick removal in the event of damage to the panel or frame

Cascading Panel Installation

Panels are sequentially suspended onto the horizontal guides in an overlapping cascading arrangement. This layout forms a continuous protective screen and increases the system’s effectiveness against fragments, impact loads, and secondary damaging factors. NG fire rating (non-combustible)

Completed Protective Perimeter Around the Storage Tank

Once installation is complete, a finished protective system is formed: the storage tank is fully enclosed by AEGIS Cascade panels along its perimeter. The structure creates a continuous protective screen, reduces the risk of damage from fragments and impact loads, and at the same time preserves access for operation, maintenance, and replacement of individual system elements.
