Frontier Pitts products
feature in BIM Library
Frontier Pitts are excited to announce that Building
Information Modelling (BIM) are now available on the
NBS National BIM Library
With the UK Government's programme for the
construction sector fully operational, where all
Government-funded construction projects must
utilise Building Information Modelling (BIM), more and
more companies are adopting BIM technologies and
processes in order to achieve more efficient ways of
working.
As a manufacturer of Perimeter Security and
HVM (Hostile Vehicle Mitigation) equipment we
are delighted to be at the forefront of our industry
by offering BIM models for a selection of products available for
free download from our website. With over 10 sample products,
many available in different configurations, we have created a
comprehensive range of standard 3D BIM Objects for our Security
Gates, Barriers, Blockers and Turnstiles and our HVM Gates, Blockers,
Bollards and Turnstiles. All have been authored and certified by RIBA
(Royal Institute of British Architects) experts to the trusted NBS BIM
Objects Standard.
Our BIM Objects work closely with our NBS Plus Specifications
allowing Architects, Designers and Consultants to easily specify
Frontier Pitts equipment.
These models have been created in IFC (Industry Foundation Class)
and Revit format, and are compatible with all software packages used
by Designers, including Revit, Autoscheme and ArchiCAD.

NEW Stopper Bollards by Bristorm
First BSI PAS 170 Bollards commercially available in the UK!!
BSI PAS 170 is the latest HVM standard to have been published. In
light of its release, our Bristorm team carried out a programme of
crash tests at Horiba-MIRA to ensure we had Bollards readily available
that are fully compliant with this new standard.
Bristorm Stopper Bollards are tested against a 2500Kg trolley
(replicating the well-known N1G Vehicle) at speeds of 10 and 20mph.
Bristorm are the first UK HVM manufacturers to have Bollards
commercially available tested to BSI PAS 170. This standard provides
end clients with a cost-effective, crash rated alternative when BSI PAS
68/IWA 14-1 systems aren’t suitable or necessary; BSI PAS 170 will
provide a guaranteed level of performance when impacted by an
errant vehicle either on an intentional or accidental basis.
Given the current security threat and countless recent attacks,
these new cost effective but performance rated products will offer
further scope to deter and protect vulnerable areas, including the
street scene.
We’re committed to delivering reliable, high quality yet cost-
effective HVM solutions to all sectors across the UK and as a result
we’re now working with more architectural practises as we recognise
the need for attractive and cost effective HVM in the commercial
market.
For more information on BSI PAS 170 and our Bristorm Stopper
Bollards, contact a member of our team on 01902 499400 or join us at
UK Security Expo on Stand M50. Our PAS 170 Bollards, NEW Security
Pedestrian Guardrail and our novel Bristorm ZERO will be showcased
on our stand for the duration of the show.
