The specific research objectives for this project are to establish:

• for a given screen height and position relative to a known piece of equipment, what is the expected probability of a fragment of porcelain sailing over the top of the screen?
• how effective other barrier systems (hera fencing, ISO containers, plywood or polycarbonate attached to pallisade/heras close boarded scaffold) are relative to the polycarbonate GRP screen developed to date, and what practical advantages do they offer.
• the effects on debris field from other modes of porcelain asset failure (for example low pressure failure), and study the extent of fireball risk from mineral oil filled equipment.
