Modern protective facilities require secure structural openings that preserve both physical security and the integrity of the protected enclosure. According to Atmas Group, protective gates are designed for civil defence shelters, bunkers, safe rooms, industrial protected spaces, ammunition storage facilities and other critical infrastructure where resistance to blast effects, ballistic threats and forced entry is required. These systems are available as standard products or custom-designed solutions depending on project requirements. Atmas Group

For installations where side-opening operation is advantageous, Atmas Group offers sliding blast-resistant gates.

According to the manufacturer, these systems feature:

  • Sliding or rail-mounted mechanism

  • Reinforced gate leaf

  • Multipoint locking system

  • High resistance to dynamic and static blast pressure

  • Optional gas-tight sealing

  • Manual or motorized operation

Sliding systems are available in standard or customized dimensions with single- or double-leaf configurations. Materials may include construction steel, stainless steel or composite structures depending on project requirements. Atmas Group
