Security and Defence Capabilities for Blast Resistant Buildings
Tricorn Technology has considerable experience in the field of bomb and blast protection against terrorism and include the following:-

·         Assessment of bomb and blast threat to personnel and buildings    

·         Definition of defence capabilities and blast resistant requirements

·         Formulation of all relevant bombproof preventative measures

·         Installation of required blast resistant defence systems.

 

Tricorn Technology Ltd has undertaken various successful bombproof and blast resistant projects for buildings and structures in all areas of the world including the UK, Saudi Arabia,  Northern Ireland and Kuwait. Within the UK, these have included the Jewel Room at the Tower of London, a key strategic Reuters Office Building and the principal facility providing power for the London underground system.

Many of these projects required a bombproof retrofit system and involved the fitting of blast and projectile defences to existing buildings, such as the Tower of London. The PMG system is particularly suitable for upgrading existing structures and buildings as the bombproof system can be wet applied as a skim coat directly to a wall or surface, over a fitted structural fabric and anti-spalling mat.
Joint ventures have initiated the development of the blast resistant Citadel System, a secure room within a building providing total protection against blast and chemical/biological attacks, the bombproof Tricorn Watchtower and even bombproof litter bins, all utilising PMG construction techniques.       

The Citadel and Watchtower systems are built from extruded hollow core concrete slabs coated with ballistic resistant PMG The low cost of each system is enhanced by the speed of construction and the high levels of ballistic protection.

ArmorcreteÔ, a patented high elasticity resin mix, has been developed to provide protection to high velocity and armour piercing projectiles. The material has been tested in accordance with BS 5051 and different formulations found to withstand armour piercing bullets ranging from 7.62mm to 12.7mm
