At Gexcon, we have been providing fire and explosion testing services since XXXX
Fire and explosion testing is pivotal in supporting safety and mitigating potential risks, particularly those within high-risk environments.
With extensive experience in large-scale testing and advanced research, Gexcon provides accurate and reliable data by evaluating flammable materials' ignition, propagation and consequences under various conditions. Our testing capabilities cover a broad range of scenarios, including gas explosions, dust explosions, jet fire testing, and the interaction of fire and explosions with structures and equipment.
Our unique facilities are located on the island of Sotra, and our team of expert engineers and scientists ensure that tests are conducted to the highest standards and tailored results are delivered for your specific needs.
By optimising safety measures, regulatory compliance, and risk management strategies, fire and explosion testing empowers industries to protect personnel, assets, and the environment.
