Design. Test. Verify.

BS&A is an engineering firm specialising in safety and security risk management.
From simulation to testing, all the way to our own software: every result is traceable and verified.

Experience born of different fields

BS&A quantifies and controls risks of human, technological and natural origin: terrorist attack, industrial accident, earthquake, tornado.

  1. Design the security of sensitive sites

    before BS&A

    Threat analysis and security and safety audits

  2. Study behaviour through advanced numerical simulation

    before BS&A

    Blast and impact effects

  3. Prove by testing

    founded · 2019

    Custom tests and tests to standards

  4. Build tools to verify

    2022

    Engineering software brought together in a single environment

Our promise

  • Continuous improvement through testing

    We feed every test into our databases and check our tools against real results: your projects draw on field experience.

  • Traceability to nuclear standards

    We match the level of verification to what is at stake in each project, up to the requirements of ISO 19443 for the nuclear industry: every assumption and every calculation remains traceable.

  • Tools for faster decisions

    Our software forms a single environment where data flows without re-entry: engineers run their calculations in it, decision-makers read clear results, faster.

Our sectors

  • Energy

    Nuclear, oil & gas, hydrogen.

  • Defence and space

    Sites, equipment.

  • Critical industries

    Industrial sites, Seveso sites.

  • Public authorities

    Operators of vital importance, public spaces.

  • Public authorities · International

    Diplomatic sites hardened against the blast threat

    Protecting exposed diplomatic premises against the effects of an explosion. BS&A carried out vulnerability audits coupled with engineering studies by calculation and numerical simulation, applied to load-bearing structures and secondary works. Perimeters, façades and protected areas now meet the protection requirements against malicious acts, terrorism and accidents.

  • Critical industry · France

    A blast-resistant slab for a critical infrastructure operator

    Protecting the public of a critical infrastructure operator above an enclosed car park. BS&A designed the 1,500 m² fibre-reinforced concrete blast slab, mapped the internal overpressures and defended the technical solution against a competing offer with additional calculations. The calculations were validated by an external authority and the slab was poured.

  • Defence · International

    Design of pyrotechnic infrastructure

    Designing pyrotechnic infrastructure internationally under three sets of regulations: French, NATO and local. BS&A covered the entire engineering chain, from safety studies to the design of barricades, blast doors and frangible walls against internal and external pyrotechnic loads. The buildings were built.
