Facilities Protection
Your cornerstone for crowd safety.
When a structure can't be replaced due to financials, time, or other sensitivities — but must be made ballistically secure — Amidon Ballistic Concrete® facility protection products offer the best solution available.
Structure safety
Without the need to stop working in a facility, our patented Concrete Masonry Units (CMU) allow a bulletproof exterior to be added to many existing structures. These tiles are affixed to the building, providing a safe working or living environment for everyone inside without shutting the facility down during retrofit.
This solution is perfect for embassies, residences, areas where sensitive business is conducted, or any other structure in areas of the world that need safe environments where the risk of attack exists. The process is relatively simple — we add a bulletproof skin to an existing building.
Custom configurations
Certain configurations require a different approach, however most structures can be fortified with Amidon Ballistic Concrete CMUs. Contact us to discuss your requirements and one of our experts will guide you through the decision process.
Facility Protection Products
Built into the environment. Ready if it's needed.
Safe House
Amidon Ballistic Concrete® safe houses are designed to withstand a variety of ballistics – from flying debris from a tornado to explosives and projectiles. Each safe house is built to the specific requirements of the client in coordination with our design engineers and location specific ordinances. We buy you time so the cavalry can come.
Exterior Wall Protection
Amidon Ballistic Concrete® Exterior Wall Protection allows for retrofitting of a ballistic barrier to any pre-existing building wall. These barriers withstand a variety of ballistics – from flying debris from a tornado to explosives and projectiles. Easily installed by any trained mason, these walls provide a secure comfort to those inside.
ABC Barriers
Amidon Ballistic Concrete® Barriers are modular interconnecting units that vary in height from 3 to 12 feet. When properly installed these barriers will stop pedestrians and vehicles from being a potential threat. Made from the same material used in construction of a safe house, these barriers withstand a variety of ballistics. In an emergency, these barriers can shield those in harm's way from getting hurt.
Flowerpots
Amidon Ballistic Concrete® Flowerpots are decorative and blend into the environment. However, should the need arise, these flowerpots will absorb a variety of ballistics, and will shield those who use them for cover. In addition, these flowerpots are heavy enough to stop vehicles that may be trying to ram into the building these pots are protecting.
Benches
Amidon Ballistic Concrete® Benches are designed to be very functional and comfortable while also providing ballistic protection should there be a need. Not only can people enjoy the outdoors and relax, they can also trust that these ballistic benches will shield those who use them for cover. Invisibly blending into the environment to provide function and safety.
Ballistic Décor Combinations
Amidon Ballistic Concrete® will work with you to create an invisible mixing of ballistic barriers, flowerpots, and benches. When combined together the area will look harmless and welcoming. Yet, should the need arise, these objects will absorb and protect those who are under attack. Amidon Ballistic Concrete combining safety with function.
Without ABC force protection
Amidon Ballistic Concrete® modular components — wall panels, stairs, and door and window openings — are engineered to interconnect into a complete protective structure. Watch how a typical wall construction compares with and without ABC protection when you speak with our team.
