Strongrooms: maximum protection for your assets

What is a high-security vault?

A high-security vault (also called a security room or strongroom) is a specially constructed room that serves as a large-scale safe. Its walls, ceiling, and floor consist of certified reinforced concrete elements with defined resistance grades according to EN 1143-1. Access is provided via a tested vault door, which has the same or a higher security grade.

High-security vaults are used in jewelry stores, banks, pharmacies, and logistics companies, but also in private homes or companies with sensitive data inventories. They can be used as a storage place for valuables, files, data media, or weapons.

Advantages of a high-security vault

• Maximum security: certified wall, ceiling, and floor elements according to EN 1143-1
• Available protection levels: burglary protection grades 1, 3, 5, and 7, individually selectable
• High level of fire protection: combined protection against heat and smoke development
• Flexible sizes: individually plannable, from small archive rooms to walk-in vault systems
• Customized equipment: shelving systems, climate control, alarm and monitoring technology
• Retrofit possible: can also be implemented in existing buildings with a modular design

Burglary protection according to EN 1143-1

High-security vaults are classified into various resistance grades according to the European standard EN 1143-1. At Bremer Tresor, these are available in classes Grade 1, 3, 5, and 7. The higher the resistance grade, the longer the room withstands mechanical and thermal break-in attempts.

This classification also forms the basis for the insurability of the stored assets: Depending on the security grade and room size, insurance coverage amounts ranging from several hundred thousand to several million euros can be realized.

Modular design and retrofitting of high-security vaults

Modern high-security vaults are built using modular element construction. Prefabricated wall, ceiling, and floor elements are assembled on-site and anchored together using special connection systems. This creates a seamless, solid room with maximum resistance.

This design also allows for retrofitting in existing buildings without extensive construction work. Thus, high-security vaults can be integrated, for example, in the basement, on the ground floor, or in separate annexes.

Special equipment and technology for high-security vaults

In addition to the basic construction, a high-security vault can be individually equipped. Common options include:

• Intrusion detection and alarm systems (VdS-certified)
• Climate control or dehumidification for file and data media storage
• Fire alarm and extinguishing systems
• Mechanical and electronic locking systems
• Video surveillance and access control
