Download product specifications: Ultra-thin Herculite Vault Panels
Since the introduction of modular vaults in the 70’s there has developed a need in the marketplace for a “concrete” lightweight vault panel in all U.L. classes. Light-weight panels are normally required for high rise buildings and where heavy equipment cannot be used for the installation.
Lightweight vaults have been and are still produced using organic materials and metal. WORLDWIDE is one of a few producers of this type of panel and will continue to manufacture this U.L. listed panels. The major reluctance in using these panels has been both their thickness and the acceptance of organic materials. Not until recently have materials become available that would allow the manufacturing of both a thin and lighter weight version using “concrete”.
The “concrete” used for the Herculite panels is UHPC or Ultra High Performance Concrete. Only recently has UHPC been able to be produced outside the laboratory. Using this blend enables our engineering staff to tailor the concrete allowing for the extremely durable, strong “concrete” required for security barriers while producing less volume. The process of both mixing and manufacturing these panels is extremely technical and requires an educated, dedicated and well trained staff.
Although compressive PSI strength is only one factor to be considered concerning security of the panels, the Herculite panel has 2 1/2—3 times greater PSI than the AEGVS (concrete) series. Naturally, there is a premium paid for both lightweight series in comparison to the AEGVS series. The flexibility of having suitable U.L. listed alternatives available will allow you to serve your customer and potentially make some sites more attractive.
With the widest choice of vault systems available, the latest technologies and the quickest turnaround time in the industry, is there any reason you should not consider WORLDWIDE for your next vault need?
