Hill and Smith Bristorm - Integrated Security Showcase (ISS)
feature at Security and Counter Terror Expo 2018
Hill and Smith Bristorm will have a 10 metre HVM Pedestrian Guardrail
display at the Integrated Security Showcase at Security and Counter
Terror Expo. Meet them too on Stand J65 at the show.
Hill and Smith launched the first range of BSI PAS 170 Stopper
Bollards in July 2017 and since then the company have been
expanding their Bristorm range of Hostile Vehicle Mitigation solutions
to ensure they fulfil the requirements expected across global
commercial markets. As aesthetically pleasing HVM is becoming more
popular, Hill and Smith have developed some innovative aesthetic
sleeves to disguise their Impeder and Stopper bollards; tested to BSI
PAS 68, IWA 14-1 and BSI PAS 170; when they’re installed in crowded
and commercial locations. Their latest design mimics the standard
Pedestrian Guardrail units supplied by Hill and Smith but Bristorm
have adapted this design specifically for the security market.
The HVM Ped-Guard has Bristorm Stopper Bollards (BSI PAS 170) set
every 1.2 metres but panels are fitted in-between the bollard spacing
to create a consistent fence line which will act as a visual deterrent.
The bollards’ performance is not compromised therefore ensuring
pedestrians, asset and infrastructure remain protected from slower
moving passenger vehicles, travelling up to 20mph. The Ped-Guard
will mitigate a vehicle if it’s being used as a weapon (VAW), used to
transport an explosive device or if the vehicle impacts the product
accidentally.
From a commercial perspective, Hill and Smith were keen to
create a modular design that will allow businesses or architects to
alter the systems functionality and appearance to complement the
surrounding environment. Gates and walkways can be integrated
into the fence line and each panel can be designed or changed
accordingly to fulfil advertising or aesthetic requirements. This
increased level of functionality combined with cost-effective HVM
makes the Pedestrian Guardrail an ideal queuing control and
pedestrian flow measure for front-of-house applications particularly
in crowded areas, such as: arenas, stadiums, theme parks, shopping
centres, university campuses and retail parks.
