Innovation & Sustainability at CMI
Engineering Tomorrow’s Vaults, Responsibly
At CMI, innovation and sustainability are not afterthoughts, they’re fundamental to how we design and manufacture our vaults. Every CMI Vault represents a step forward in secure storage, engineered with advanced materials, minimal environmental impact, and compliance with rigorous standards.
Smarter Design for a Changing World
Traditional vault construction relies heavily on concrete and steel—materials that are carbon-intensive and costly to transport. At CMI, we’ve reimagined this approach by introducing lightweight, high-strength composite materials and innovative manufacturing techniques that reduce our environmental footprint without compromising on protection.
Key Innovations Across CMI Vaults:
- No concrete required, reducing reliance on virgin materials
- Up to 60% recycled content in raw materials
- Lighter construction enables easier handling, lower fuel use, and fewer delivery vehicles
- Certified performance, meeting and exceeding AS/NZS 3809:1998 standards
From Waste to World-Class Security
CMI Vaults are manufactured using materials reclaimed from challenging waste streams, such as decommissioned mining infrastructure. These resources are extremely difficult to recycle, but through advanced processing, we give them new life as durable, high-performance barrier materials.
By transforming industrial waste into certified security components, we’re supporting circular economy principles while helping solve a global problem for governments and industries alike.
Reduced Weight, Reduced Emissions
Thanks to our innovative lightweight designs, CMI Vaults typically require fewer transport trips, lower fuel consumption, and simpler installation logistics compared to traditional concrete-based models. This means:
- Lower greenhouse gas emissions
- Greater efficiency during transport and installation
- Improved accessibility for sites with space or weight limitations
Secure. Sustainable. Future-Ready.
Whether protecting assets in banking, telecommunications, government, pharmaceutical (schedule 8) or defence, CMI Vaults deliver unmatched security backed by a strong commitment to sustainability and forward-thinking engineering.
Innovation That Protects More Than Assets
CMI Vaults protect more than just valuables, they help protect the planet. Our approach ensures that the next generation of secure infrastructure is smarter, lighter, and solves landfill challenges.
