With summer events on the increase,
temporary security measures are relied
upon to assist the security services in
managing crowd control and Hostile Vehicle
Mitigation (HVM).
H2S2, a JV between Highway Care and
Hardstaff Barriers are responsible for
deploying the National Barrier Asset (NBA)
throughout multiple locations globally.
The NBA is a range of high-security systems
owned and managed by Sussex Police on
behalf of the home office and provides a
solution for robust Hostile Vehicle mitigation
and crowd control required at high profile
events and as part of an emergency response.
H2S2 together with the Sussex Police
provide effective secure infrastructures
to protect high profile events throughout
the UK. H2S2’s deployment of the barrier is
efficient and quick, minimising disruption
to traffic within the busy streets of London
while ensuring high-security measures are
successfully installed.
The system comprises of multiple gate
variations, allowing free flowing traffic
within the barrier that can be closed quickly
to provide perimeter security to an event
instantly. This allows simple installation prior
to the event with limited disruption to the
city. The barriers small footprint and modular
sections enable deployment in even the
tightest locations, perfect in some of London’s
compact areas.
Some notable events in recent years have
seen perimeter security deployed by H2S2
to protect a variety of sporting events such
as the London Olympics and Wimbledon
as well as High Security protection for
the Remembrance services, NATO and G4
Summits.
All security requirements are discussed
in-depth with the NBA Management team,
specialists in perimeter security. Each event
is individual and solutions are adapted to the
requirements of the event to ensure optimal
security. The individual nature of these
events have rapidly increased the product
development such as the most recent
inclusion of mob prevention solutions.
H2S2, with their multiple years of expertise
in the Barrier and security market, provide
supporting solutions alongside the NBA
and all are available for use by the UK
Governmental, foreign governmental and
commercial organisations.
