Safe environments protect people from natural and/or manmade threats, through defensive and/or offensive systems. creates exceptional safe environments and extraordinary levels of protection by providing systems that isolate protected individuals from harm while at the same time, remotely helping to eliminate the threat.

Unfortunately, conventional wisdom has our home as our castle, and our electronic alarm system as our defense. Nothing could be further from reality.

The average home provides little if any resistance to invasion. While the average alarm system does little more than place the intruders on notice that they must hurry and complete whatever they came to do.

"Half Hour Principle™"

Once an alarm is triggered, the police typically take up to 30 minutes or more to arrive. Anything that is going to happen after an intruder enters, is most likely going to happen within the first 15 minutes; be it theft, assault, kidnapping, murder, etc. By the time the police arrive, the damage is usually done, and more often than not, the intruders are long gone. In essence, time is the critical factor to ensure a safe outcome. The "Half Hour Principle™" requires that the occupants be kept safe from harm for at least 30 minutes from the time their alarm system is activated.

While Safe Rooms ("Panic Room") have been the focus of much public attention, as stand alone facilities in residential applications their effectiveness is questionable. However, when used in conjunction with a Safe Core, the Safe Room becomes an effective control and safety center, an integral part of the overall Safe Environment.

In corporate applications, a stand alone Safe Room may provide an adequate level of protection. However, a Safe Core is generally specified in the final analysis.


"Safe Environments"

Aesthetically and strategically, it is very important to achieve the required level of security and provide the necessary hardware as transparently as possible. What is most unique about 's secure environments is that their high level of safety is provided without any of the usual visual encumbrances. Security features are almost entirely transparent to the occupants. Though specific designs and specifications cannot be made public, the following model provides the concept behind some of 's safe environments.

Hidden within the walls, ceilings and floors, can be some of the available security features illustrated in the following plan.

's unique Safe Core is a steel reinforced, bullet resistant zone that seals and protects all bedrooms allowing family members and guests to remain together and move freely within the Core. Inside the Safe Core, Corbi typically includes a higher level of security; an impenetrable window-less Safe Room with a vault like door not available in the U.S.   Incorporated in his residential, commercial and Government facilities, this ultra Safe Room is equipped with monitoring, life safety equipment, air supply and a tamper proof communications system which allows the occupants to remain connected to the outside.

With solutions ranging from a single ballistics rated door to fully armored automated Safe Rooms with Tactical Perimeters/Zones, and offensive robotics capabilities, brings Homeland Security to the home. If you are looking for incomparable personal security, Corbi turns panic into peace of mind, and above all, safety.

The following are examples of the types of materials typically used in today's safe environments:

"WALLS"

Ballistic Panel

's custom and standard bullet and explosion resistant building panels (opaque armor) are water resistant and non-oxidizing, making them rust/mold proof and impervious to the passage of time. They are ideal for most security applications, and are easily installed in new or existing structures. If visible, they can be decoratively finished by painting, covering with contact bond wood veneer, vinyl or other available materials, or left natural. One or two-sided gelcoat finished panels are also available.

's custom mold and fabrication capabilities, accommodates the high-tech, minimal weight requirements of air and sea craft, including the hydrofoil and helicopter.

Bullet resistant transparent installations utilize a combination of plastic and /or glass for indoor use where handgun/submachine gun protection is the prime threat. For exterior durability and high threat levels, a combination of monolithic glass or glass/plastic is utilized.
