Based on the experiences from the First World War - here in particular the battles around Fort Loncin - Battice was protected by appropriately heavily reinforced concrete against fire of a caliber of up to 520 millimeters and the fighting blocks were also placed far away from the underground barracks. Five artillery blocks are distributed over the area of a pentagon: three retractable armored turrets (blocks 4, 6 and A-North) each with two 75-millimeter cannons (range up to 10.1 kilometers) and two armored turrets (block B-north and B -Süd) with two 120-millimeter cannons each (range up to 17.5 kilometers). Except for the north side, the facility is surrounded by a storm-free ditch, which was covered by four strokes. Maintaining the railway line to the north made it necessary to build two flanking systems (Blocks 1 and 2) each with two 60-millimeter anti-tank guns. The main entrance is on the northeast ditch and another entrance with the main fan is about 400 meters away from the entire system. The barracks with rest rooms, kitchen and infirmary are located at a depth of about 30 meters. A power station generated the electrical energy for lighting, ventilation, elevators and so on with six 175 HP motors. A 3.8 kilometer long underground corridor system connects all important parts of the fort with one another. Six artillery observation posts were set up in the wide area around Battice.
