Success

Frontier Pitts report enjoying, “…an AMAZING show” at this year’s

Intersec 20th edition exhibition, in Dubai, in January, with record

numbers of visitors to their stand from around the Gulf. During the

show they received four confirmed orders from existing clients after

long negotiations on the stand! They showcased their IWA14 impact

tested Terra G8 Sliding Gate and our IWA 14 Terra Shallow Blocker,

alongside our HVM PAS 68 Static Terra Bollards.

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.
