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
