Security is not a question of height.

HOCHTIEF Construction has therefore developed a concept, together with its partners, which also reliably protects architectural flights of fancy.

The result is Secuplex, the first secure high-rise building in the world.

Secuplex provides comprehensive protection for people and property – even under extreme conditions.

Even though awareness of the significance of building security has now increased, the desire to build up high has remained. Secuplex has taken the growing demands into account and offers a system which combines functionality, economic efficiency and aesthetics with the highest level of security standards.

In all cases, the protection of personnel and users is at the forefront. This begins with the comprehensive alarm and access control system and fail safe utilities, stretching to innovative escape and rescue routes, which remain accessible even under critical conditions.

Extreme stability. A façade construction which absorbs the shock of detonation waves and provides protection against splinters, ceilings with debris protection which are guaranteed not to cave in, specially manufactured construction elements and finally an escape route system which enables rescue measures and evacuation at the same time: These are but a few of the elements of the entire Secuplex system.

On the basis of recommendations published by the American National Institute of Standards and Technology, numerous innovative solutions have been found. These have then been developed to maturity for implementation, so that they can be applied both economically and flexibly for different investment concepts.

Security pays ? and Secuplex is proof of this. Namely, our security concept guarantees the greatest possible flexibility in planning and at the same time in the use of the real estate.

High-rise buildings equipped with Secuplex can thus be used as office buildings, hotels, living quarters and also for gastronomy and events.

Security and reliability can be adapted to your specifications and needs. The Modular Security System (MSS) developed by our Secuplex competence network provides different users with optimum security comfort under one roof, and for the entire life-cycle of their real estate.
