This unparalleled practical experience in understanding weapons effects on structures enhances our ability to propose effective threat reduction methods.
Using our linked with our Security Protection and Hardening Risk Analysis (SEPHRA), we perform quantitative risk analysis to optimise designs to ensure that a design performs reliably under a variety of uncertain conditions. It focuses on minimising the sensitivity of the performance to these uncertainties, thereby enhancing the robustness of the system. This approach enables clients to comprehensively evaluate different options and their effects on the project schedule, cost, risk, and performance. Through integrating protection design into the overall project framework, we consistently achieve substantial cost savings and enhanced efficiency.
Alpha Trion has conducted vulnerability analyses for numerous installations and facilities worldwide, including embassies, transport hubs, petrochemical zones, explosive storage facilities, government buildings, national infrastructure installations, private corporate headquarters, and national landmark structures. Our analytical methods adhere to industry-leading codes and techniques, such as United States Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) 3-340-02 for structures to resist accidental explosions, American Society of Civil Engineers Standards ASCE/SEI 59-11 for blast protection of buildings, and advanced computational modelling encompassing static and dynamic structural responses with Single Degree of Freedom (SDOF), Finite Element (FE), and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD).
At the core of our risk assessment and mitigation strategy is SEPHRA, a sophisticated in-house developed methodology. SEPHRA guides our assessments through five critical stages: Threat Analysis, Damage Analysis, Risk Assessment, Hardening Protective Measures Cost Effectiveness Analysis, and Optimal Hardening Protective Measures.

Cost Effectiveness Analysis, and Optimal Hardening Protective Measures.
Our approach utilises a computer-aided analysis system that ensures the highest quality of output through a continuous man-machine interface. Unlike black box solutions, SEPHRA’s effectiveness is directly tied to the precision of the input data. For example, projectile hit probability is meticulously calculated to ensure accuracy.
The methodology integrates various subroutines manually selected and employed by our analysts. These subroutines encompass blast wave propagation, fragment penetration into finite concrete elements, personnel vulnerability to spalling, computer shock tolerance, and the reduction of blast effects by shielding walls. This targeted approach allows us to address specific aspects of risk with precision.
SEPHRA has proven to be a highly effective tool for several reasons. First, it operates efficiently on a standard PC, making it accessible and cost-effective. Second, it fully leverages the expertise and judgment of our analysts, ensuring that every detail is considered.

Third, intermediate results can be easily checked for accuracy, providing transparency throughout the process. Finally, the overall cost of analysis is significantly lower compared to other procedures, making it a practical choice for our clients.
SEPHRA stands out due to its ability to handle multiple threats simultaneously. It calculates weapon hit probabilities and their relative occurrence rates with high accuracy. The system evaluates weapon effects, structural responses, and expected damages or injuries based on extensive practical experience. It also correlates all security, hardening, and protection measures with the corresponding reduction in risk, using a combination of practical experience and engineering judgment. The results are presented in a managerial format, offering an optimal tool for decision-making.
SEPHRA is in active use across numerous projects worldwide, consistently meeting and exceeding client expectations. Our subroutines are continually updated, and new ones are developed to keep pace with evolving threats. The range of installations where SEPHRA can be applied is steadily expanding. Additionally, SEPHRA is regularly updated to address new types of threats, such as newly developed weapons and the latest sabotage devices. The system is also used for long-term security, protection, and hardening considerations, taking into account potential future changes in threats and installation characteristics.
