    Tips

    The buildings were wholly or partially surrounded by earthen walls intended to protect against the impact of a blast wave from the outside or to suppress the blast wave inside. The distinctive feature was a massive reinforced concrete skeleton and light "blow-out windows" In the event of an explosion, the brick bulkhead was intended to shatter and be thrown out of the object. The most dangerous semi-finished products were stored in huge stable concrete cylinders several floors high, the walls were 1-2 m thick and reinforced with additional internal ribs and external pillars, while the light roofs were made of planks. Three such cylinders, apparently intended for use with nitroglycerine and nitrocellulose, were also sprayed with earth. The use of silos is still a mystery. Different sources reflect different uses.
