High Security Government Buildings
Government facilities face some of the highest threat levels including terrorism, espionage, armed assault, and explosive attacks. To safeguard personnel, sensitive data, and operations, these buildings require multi-level armoring solutions that combine ballistic, blast, and forced-entry resistance.
Applications within Government Facilities
- Perimeter Security: armored facades, bullet-resistant glazing, secure entryways
- Public Zones: transaction windows, visitor lobbies, reception counters
- Administrative Offices: bullet resistant walls and doors for staff protection
- Critical Infrastructure Rooms: fully armored control & command centers
- Safe Havens: blast- and bullet-proof refuge rooms for emergencies
- Bunkers & Shelters: underground/above-ground secure structures for continuity
Features & Benefits
- Layered Protection: different levels of armoring for each zone
- All-Steel Construction: engineered modular panels for long-term durability
- Multi-Threat Resistance: ballistic, blast, and forced-entry protection combined
- Compliance with International Standards: UL 752, EN 1063, EN 1522/23, NIJ 0108.01
- Aesthetic Integration: security measures blended into modern architecture
- Custom Design: tailored to government-specific threat assessments
