UHPC perfect construction and filling material for bank vaults

There are still many manufacturers claiming 
their moveable safes are absolutely 
burglar-proof, that's wrong.
Everyone and I mean it really every moveable
safe can be opened with the right tools and 
enough time. There is nothing absolutely safe. 
Depending on the security level of the vault, 
burglars may require a short or a lot of time 
to open the vault and may require special 
tools.

Here are some general examples of vault 
wall constructions.

The simple safe is usually made of sheet steel.
The steel of the safe construction may have 
different wall thicknesses depending on the 
manufacturer and it can also be used depending 
on the manufacturer not only one sheet but 
several layers of different steel grades.

An increase in safety is a sheet metal wall 
construction that can be filled with standard 
concrete, for example.

A further increase in safety is the backfilling 
of a safe construction in conjunction with a 
special reinforcement, which can vary from 
safe vault to vault manufacturer. Everyone 
has their special technique.

Likewise, the sheet metal construction can be 
filled with pre-casted concrete slabs of varying 
thickness and quality

Large safes such as bank safes are shed locally. 
With this type of vault there is no sheet metal 
construction, here a modern formwork technique 
is used.The wall thicknesses of such constructions 
can be several meters. In this formwork, a very 
complex and special reinforcement system is used.

In addition to the pure mechanical burglary problem
also a security against fire is required.

For high temperatures, suitable thermal insulating 
materials or, in the simplest case, air gaps in the 
wall construction are generally used to protect 
documents, pictures, jewlery, money, etc. in the 
safe construction.


UHPC Ultra High Performance Concrete

Our UHPC cast binders are extremely fine, have 
exceptional flow properties and are self-compacting, 
allowing much more effective reinforcement systems 
to be used compared to standard cement binders.

Decades of experience in wear and security
technology make our UHPC concrete systems
extremely wear resistant and very resistant to
impact. By mixing in additional aggregates, a
very resistant cast concrete with a 
multitude of burglary-resistant properties can be 
produced.

If a very high temperature resistance is required, we 
can withstand with our HT high temperature resistant 
UHPC cast binder system temperatures up to 
1200°C / 2192°F permanently. The strength values of 
the UHPC cast binder are only slightly reduced.

In large safes for banks, for example, UHPC cast 
binder offers not only high safety features, but also 
very good flow and pumping properties. The setting 
temperature of our UHPC cast products is much 
lower than for standard heavy concrete.

UHPC security panels as pre-cast panel elements 
for ATMs, server rooms, security rooms, these 
panels can be produced quickly and with great 
precision. Depending on the required safety standard, 
the panels can withstand mechanical loads or thermal 
loads or a combination of both loads. Here, the 
subsequent installation in existing houses, apartments, 
offices, etc., the mechanical loads, size of the rooms, 
as well as a weight optimization of the room design 
can be considered.

For hurricane, wild fire and flood-proof constructions 
in the interior and exterior, UHPC prefabricated 
elements allow a variety of design variations.

All our UHPC security and protection products are 
designed for private individuals as well as industry, 
military, banks, hospitals, server center, nuclear 
power plants, prison, etc.

The quality of UHPC is so good that the US Airforce 
has problems with it. This confirms the absolute quality 
of UHPC in the security area.
