SSSB Bison Crash
Rated
Shallow Mounted
Blocker 50mph
Security Solutions have a new addition to
their popular crash rated product range -
The mighty - “Bison Road Blocker”
The newly designed road-blocker has been developed for
shallow mounted applications where modern utilities make
deep excavation problematic.
Brian Wilkinson, Senior Operations & Quality Assurance
Manager commented: “The Bison, manufactured under strict
quality control is an impressive piece of kit, not only is it
formidable in size and intimidating in appearance. Like its
animal counterpart the Bison Blocker is a keystone species in
our crash rated range, it has been developed and designed to
play a critical role in maintaining and protecting the structure
of a high-quality defensive security system from hostile vehi-
cle predators”.
Patrick Ngongang, Lead Design Engineer on the Bison
project development team added: “Having conducted
several Dynamic Finite Element Analysis on the 3D model of
the product, we made sure all possible areas subjected to
failure were strengthen during the multiple simulations to
obtain and manufacture the finish product ready for the field
test. We were very overwhelmed with the performance of the
Bison blocker during the test. All the kinetic energy resulting
from the 7.5tonnes N3 impact object travelling at 50mph
was transferred through the Bison Blocker and directly to the
ground, bringing the attacking hostile vehicle to a complete
stop”.
The Bison Blocker is fully manufactured in the UK at the
Security Solutions Fabrications Workshop in Bolton. Using RSJ
British steel beams as the main support of the device; the
Bison is robust, strong and made to deal with any situation it
is presented with. The linking arm system has been specially
designed to protect the hydraulic drive during a crash
situation. When successfully tested at a speed of 50mph the
Bison blocker was fully operational following the impact.
