Custom Test Chamber and Safety System Integration

The contract requires the design and fabrication of a specialized enclosed test chamber engineered to safely contain high-velocity ice projectiles used in hail impact testing. The chamber must integrate robust safety interlocks and emergency stop mechanisms to ensure operator protection during testing operations, with all systems compliant with strict safety standards to prevent accidental exposure or uncontrolled release of projectiles. The solution must be fully enclosed, structurally reinforced, and capable of withstanding repeated high-energy impacts without degradation or compromise to containment integrity. The work is classified under NAICS code 332322 and is issued as a subcontract by the National Research Council of Canada under the Government of Canada. Performance is to be carried out in Ontario, excluding the National Capital Region, with proposals due by May 25, 2026. The project demands precise engineering coordination to meet technical specifications for ballistic containment, operational safety, and regulatory compliance, ensuring the facility can be used reliably for scientific and industrial testing purposes without risk to personnel or surrounding infrastructure.
