Bastion began life in the late 1970’s, developing practical solutions to meet the evolving threats from criminality and terrorism. Changes to the threat landscape, have driven innovation, development and testing of new and market leading solutions. This hallmark of Bastion continues today.
Our new Multi-Threat Modular room building and walling system is a World first in being upgradable on-site.
Offering protection from;
LPS 1175 : Issue 8
D1 to G5
The all new Multi-Threat Extreme System has been successfully tested to and is in the certification process for;
LPS 1175 : Issue 8 G10.
We believe this is the lightest system available at this standard.

Multi-Threat™ The World’s first on-site upgradeable system!
Modular room building and walling system with Ballistic protection as standard
Protection levels from LPS 1175: Issue 8 D5-G10
A WORLD FIRST
The new Multi-Threat Modular walling and room building system is a genuine World first, in providing the ability to upgrade the security protection in location at a future point in time, should threat levels increase. This is achieved by the use of special, changeable, core panels, that provide much of the rated attack resistance.
You no longer have to spend more than you need if worried about future changes to security requirements; you can react simply, as and when an upgrade is actually needed. No more guessing future threat scenarios and overspending today!
Multi-Threat was developed from our existing SR4, SR5 and G5 (BastionWall A.C.E.) systems and replaces these from 2025.
- Full LPS 1175: Issue 8 certification (see chart)
- Fire integrity rating of 120 minutes to BS EN 1364-1
- The FIRST modular walling system
with LPS 1175: Issue 8 E20 rating - 100% recyclable / non-toxic primary system
(G5 cores are non-recyclable / inert) - Simple, bolt-together assembly, allowing
straightforward disassembly and relocation - Complete installation by Bastion
and our professional partners

Container Armouries and Ammo Stores
Containerised Solutions
Bastion pioneered the inclusion of our NPSA approved, high-security modular system inside containers and now offer
the following options:
- 10’, 20’ or 40’ containers
- Single-end, double-end or side door access options
- Bespoke, UK manufactured certified containers if required
Internal Layouts
There are many options, with key factors being:
- The level of security required
- The number and type of weapons to be stored
- Whether workspace for an armourer is required
- Whether climate control capabilities are necessary
Rack Systems
We use our in-house developed weapon rack system for rifles, GPMGs, Mortars etc. and add pistol drawers and storage for scopes and other ancillary equipment as required. However,
we can provide third-party racking if preferred.
Please contact us for further information.
Security requirements
These vary and options are:
- Our LPCB and NPSA accredited Multi-Threat
Advanced modular system - A lower level LPCB accredited system such as Multi-Threat Prime
- A basic ‘no-frills’ container, with anti-condensation paint applied, where 24 hour armed guarding is directly present
- Our LPCB and NPSA accredited Multi-Threat
Additional information:
Containers are fitted-out in our factory and delivered ready for ‘plug-in and go’ use and as such, come complete with your electrical, alarms, internal fit-out and climate control requirements all included.
Ground anchoring systems are also available.
Introducing the NEW sliding weapon rack system
A game-changer for efficient space utilisation.
NEW in 2025 is our sliding racking system, which can double the accessible weapon quantity being stored compared with static racking. This brings considerable savings on:
- On-site land use
- Site preparation costs and time
- Acquisition cost and freeing up budgets for other critical requirements
The sliding racks retain all of the features and benefits of
our static rack, which include:
- Moveable butt and barrel rests to
accommodate different weapon variants - Replaceable butt and barrel rests for GPMG, Mortars etc.
- MoD compliant anti-tamper locking bar
- Twenty SA-80 or similar rifles per rack
We also provide:
- Armourer’s work station
- Pistol storage drawers
- Rubber faced shelving
- Riot / ballistic shield racks
- Kit stores
Introducing Citadel™ by Bastion
CITADEL is an innovative and game-changing solution.
A partnership between BASTION and WERNICK, CITADEL utilizes tried and tested modules with a completely re-designed structural frame, to provide factory-fitted high security facilities on the back of a truck.

A partnership between BASTION and WERNICK, CITADEL utilizes tried and tested modules with a completely re-designed structural frame, to provide factory-fitted high security facilities on the back of a truck.
Key features:
- Physical security is provided by the Bastion Multi-Threat system
- Lowest cost and quickest site preparation per square metre of facility
- CITADEL is delivered on a truck and offloaded into position
- Highly insulated with ultra-low energy requirements
- 50 year life
- EM mitigation can be incorporated by partner specialists
- Relocatable
- Single modules can be side-linked or stacked to form a bigger secure space
Example:
A 7.2m x 4.2m x 3m CITADEL facility, containing a 4m x 3m secure room inside, can be delivered by truck and dropped using an on-board crane and be useable within hours.
CITADEL is linkable and stackable to form a bigger facility.
Please contact us for further details.
Electromagnetic and Acoustic Threats
The Bastion Multi-Threat system at all levels will mitigate RF and acoustic penetration. Multi-Threat ADVANCED wall panels achieved a 48dB sound reduction performance in recent testing at a reputable test laboratory. Given these panels are only 50 mm overall thickness, this is seen as an industry leading performance without any changes to the standard panel design. To achieve substantial RF and EM threats mitigation, the ADVANCED wall panels are co-located with a specialist shielding
product, making an overall wall thickness of 100mm meeting substantial physical and shielding security levels to 10GHz and above. Cable ways, pipes and other penetrations are RF shielded and labyrinths are used to mitigate sound transmission in ducts. In short, we can tailor the solution to your requirements. Threats and threat levels vary, so please contact us in confidence to discuss surreptitious threat protection in more detail
Doors
Bastion has its own high quality range of single, double and door plus a half leaf doorsets, rated at LPS 1175:
Issue 8 G5 and NPSA Approved for Government use (double doors).
Lead times for doors are from two to eight weeks dependent upon final specification and component stock.
Doors can be handed to suit and painted to meet any colour and environmental requirements.
Additional ‘day access’ lock controllers can be added (e.g. ILS Scroll Lock.
