ballistic-resistant walls

the expert in ballistic-resistant walls

Are you looking for ballistic-resistant walls? To secure an entire building, perhaps, or to provide a certain room within a building with additional protection? Then you need look no further than aalbers|wico - the specialist in structural ballistic security. We manufacture, supply and install ballistic-resistant walls precisely in accordance with your specifications. If you wish, they can also be offered in combination with intruder-, blast- and fire-resistant properties.

tested in practice

The resistance value of our walls has not only been calculated on paper – it has been tested in practice too. At our own test centre we can see how our walls stand up to the most rigorous of tests. This centre is equipped with a ballistic test bunker - the only one of its kind in the Netherlands.

standards

Our walls are based on the European standards EN 1522 and EN 1063, but we can also go one step further. If stipulated in the Schedule of Requirements, we can supply a wall offering the actual level of resistance you need. The official standards form the starting point here, but the wall undergoes further testing on the basis of additional criteria.

testing methods

We always determine the resistance class of our ballistic-resistant walls in practice. For this we employ the methods and tools described in standards EN 1522 and EN 1063: a mechanical firing mechanism, temperature measurement, shots in a triangle with a certain distance between impacts and a chronograph.

resistance classes

The resistance class of ballistic-resistant walls is defined on the basis of a number of factors: the type of ammunition that is used, the type of weapon, the velocity of the shots fired, the distance at which they are fired and the number of shots discharged.
