Fire & Blast Protected Transit and Evacuation Systems

Mech‑Tool Engineering Ltd (MTE) designs and manufactures high‑integrity Escape Route Systems that provide protected personnel transit ways, evacuation routes, and muster areas during major incidents involving hydrocarbon fire, explosion, or radiant heat exposure.

Escape routes can be engineered in multiple configurations—from semi‑open walkways to fully enclosed, blast‑ and fire‑rated tunnel systems—ensuring personnel have safe passage regardless of site layout or hazard profile.

Engineered Protection for All Environments

MTE’s escape route solutions are suitable for a wide range of demanding applications, including:

• Offshore fixed platforms
• Floating production units (FPSOs)
• Onshore process facilities
• High‑risk hydrocarbon installations

Each system is engineered to deliver the required levels of fire protection, blast resistance, and radiant heat shielding, providing dependable life‑safety performance under severe operating conditions.

Modular Construction & Certification

Escape Routes are constructed using shop‑built modular units, providing:

• Enhanced fabrication quality
• Reduced on‑site installation time
• Improved cost efficiency
• Consistent and predictable system performance

All components are fully tested and certified, ensuring compliance with stringent project and regulatory requirements.
