CASE STUDY: GLASARMOR™ BALLISTIC RESISTANT PANELS
Challe
nge Accepted.
Avient and Southern States worked together to develop
a modular design using GlasArmor ballistic panels.
Using GlasArmor panels, Ballisti-Wall® and Ballisti-
Cover® solutions enable utility companies to add a
superior level of protection to critical components and
meet FERC security requirements within a modular,
adaptable construction.

Another option, which is more ideal for stress
reduction, includes octagonal inserts with more
rounded edges versus standard spiral inserts.
This helps to reduce the ring stress
around the insert.

The good news: we’ve developed advanced composite panels for walls,
ceilings, floors, and more, designed specifically for these pressures.
While newer, more advanced materials may come
with higher upfront costs, the long-term savings—reduced labor
requirements, lower transportation expenses, minimized assembly
needs, and increased assembly safety—often make them the more
cost-effective choice over a project’s lifecycle.
