The U.S. Military identified significant deficiencies with metal shielding systems and subsequently commissioned the University of Nebraska for an electromagnetically shielded concrete solution. Omni-Threat Structures commercialized an EMP shielded concrete construction method that presents significant advantages:
Faster Build Time
Multiple Threat Defense Capability
More Economical Combined Structure & Shielding System
Significantly Increased Longevity & Decreased Maintenance
Increased Fault Tolerance
Ease of Interior Installation
SUBSTANTIALLY SHORTER CONSTRUCTION INTERVAL
Hardened building + shielding installed in < 10 months from foundation to dried in
No special attachments required for mechanical, electrical, plumbing and finish work inside of shielded space
No waiting for building to be completed prior to starting on a welded shielding system
No waiting for the shielding system to be installed prior to installation of MEP and finishes
Reduced testing cycles due to shielding envelope being completed prior to MEP installation
MULTI-THREAT PROTECTION IN A SINGLE STRUCTURE
HEMP – High Altitude Electromagnetic Pulse
IEMI - Intentional Electromagnetic Interference
Emanations Eavesdropping (TEMPEST)
Ballistic – Blast
Event-Driven Missiles
Seismic
Extreme Weather
MORE DURABLE / MORE FAULT TOLERANT CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL
Through initial build & throughout the life cycle
Degradation of steel system can be seen in less than 6 months.
Omni-Threat Structures’ system is less vulnerable to damage during both construction and MEP/finish construction phase.
