Security Concrete to protect critical infrastructures

DUCON Security enables an effective increase in the protection of buildings against violent events (terror, war, etc.) with low component thicknesses. The high-performance material is highly effective against all classic attack scenarios such as explosion, shelling or breakthrough, as well as protecting against earthquakes. DUCON can be adapted to the overall architectural appearance thanks to its many design options.

To protect against explosions, a considerable increase in the protective effect can be achieved with just 4 cm thin layers integrated into the outer wall. DUCON can either be used alone as a protective wall or as an additional layer in combination with classic reinforced concrete. This means that strengthening is possible for both new buildings and existing structures. As with explosion protection, the bullet resistance of buildings can be sustainably increased with DUCON.

The following resistance classes are achieved:

• Bullet resistance: bullet resistance class PM9-NS-MH with 80 mm thickness, highest class PM14 with 100-150 mm thickness
• Breakthrough resistance: highest class RC6 with 75 mm thickness
• Explosion protection against car bombs and various grenades with a thickness of 80-250 mm

The security concrete has already been used to protect numerous critical infrastructures, embassies, high-rise buildings, community centers, high-security data centers and nuclear power plants. In addition to protective walls, debris protection ceilings and facades, the anti-terror concrete has also been used as a mobile protection container against explosions and shelling and can be fitted with DUCON panels in various component thicknesses depending on the threat scenario.
