Amidon Ballistic Concrete® – The Gold
Standard in Ballistic Protection
Meet Brad Johnson – The Ultimate
Ballistic Testing Expert
Meet
Brad Johnson, President of Blue Line Contracting, based in Graham,
North Carolina. As an independent testing provider for Amidon
Ballistic Concrete® since its inception, Brad has fired more test rounds
into ABC than anyone on the planet—over 70,000 rounds in 16 years.
With
extensive data to back it up, Amidon Ballistic Concrete® is the most
thoroughly tested and proven ballistic protection material available today.
Unmatched Ballistic Performance
Independently
Tested to UL 752 Standards – Capable of exceeding Level 10.
Tested in
Extreme Conditions – Maintains strength in high heat, freezing cold, and
prolonged exposure.
Energy
Absorption Without Structural Weakening – Unlike traditional concrete, ABC
does not shatter under fire.
Lighter &
Stronger Than Regular Concrete – The ideal material for security-conscious
construction.
Rigorously Tested by Industry Leaders
Aberdeen Proving
Ground – Head-to-Head with SACON
Contracted
by the U.S. Marine Corps, the U.S. Army Test and Evaluation Command
at Aberdeen Proving Ground conducted a side-by-side test of ABC vs. the
Army Corps of Engineers’ SACON (Shock Absorbing Concrete).
ABC met or
exceeded all SACON benchmarks.
Now the standard
concrete for U.S. Marine Corps live-fire training facilities.
National Testing
Services (NTS-Chesapeake)
When
complex ballistic testing is required, National Testing Services (NTS)
is the gold standard. ABC has been rigorously tested at the NTS-Chesapeake
Testing Center in Virginia, evaluated against published UL 752 standards.
Osprey Global
Solutions
Before
official third-party testing, we work with our development partner, Osprey
Global Solutions, a team with real-world threat analysis expertise.
Their experience shapes our products, ensuring that ABC protects
against the most extreme threats.
GHD – Lead Leaching
& Absorption Testing
Lead
contamination is a serious concern worldwide. GHD Labs conducted three
specific tests on ABC with liquid, powder-based, and no additives.
The result?
Amidon Ballistic Concrete®
outperformed all alternatives, exceeding the strictest global
environmental regulations.
Continuous Testing & Quality
Control
Internally Tested
with Every Batch
ABC
is a building material—so every batch is tested for compressive
strength and critical factors before use. GHD provides certified
compression testing with reports on file for every batch.
Real-World
Live-Fire Testing
Beyond
lab tests, we conduct regular live-fire testing on-site. Using a
range of weapons, we analyze every shot to ensure:
Proper projectile absorption
No failure or structural
compromise
Continuous performance
improvements
