NEWS  |  ISSUE 22 March 2019 – 6 – PSSA Member News CAME secures Cannes CAME has installed ONE EVO high-security bollards and G6 EVO fixed bollards at the points of access to the pedestrian areas along the Croisette and Boccacabana beach, showing how protecting urban environments and people lies at the core of the company’s strategic vision. A city of glamour and luxury, renowned worldwide for its Film Festival and Croisette promenade, Cannes chose CAME to secure the main access points to the pedestrian areas along the Croisette that make up the “golden square” - Croisette-Serbes, Croisette-CDT André, Barrière Macé-Croisette - and Boccacabana beach. For the development of this important project, CAME relied on the experience of CAME Urbaco, the brand of the Group specialised in designing and creating technological solutions, to control and delimit residential and commercial urban areas, as well as to protect sensitive sites where the security of people and buildings is crucial. The security project developed by CAME encourages the flow of pedestrian traffic, while guaranteeing controlled access to vehicular traffic in the “golden square” along the Croisette, during the city’s events. To this end, the area has been fitted with ONE EVO high- security bollards, built to withstand the impact of “ram” vehicles and certified according to the latest international regulations, and with G6 EVO fixed bollards. All access points secured by the retractable bollards are linked to SYGMA 3 software, a controlled-access system that enables the general management of all remote access constituent parts. SYGMA 3 is connected to the centralised technical management (CTM) system based on a synoptic of controlled areas and linked to the local police department. CAME won the contract to install high-security bollards in the French Riviera resort of Cannes Docklands Security Barriers seal the deal with Mifram Docklands Security Barriers are now the sole UK Distributors for Mifram security products. Mifram have developed a range of products to deal with an assortment of terrorist offensives and one of its most notable to date is the mobile, hostile vehicle barrier MVB 3X. These barriers are now being used extensively at London Football Stadiums and other iconic locations. The barriers are made from galvanised steel but, according to Docklands Security Barriers, are surprisingly lightweight and manoeuvrable. They are foldable, quick and easily assembly with minimal training and no tools. They are PAS 68 and IWA 14 approved to 7.5 tonnes. The barriers can be converted into a gated barrier allowing vehicle access instantly, which has been put to use in live emergency situations at events, whereby police and ambulance require immediate entry. The barriers are also reportedly effective on many surfaces and are ideally suited to crime prevention and traffic management situations. Operations Director John Goodwill served 30 years with the Metropolitan Police with the last 10 years as a Detective Sergeant in the Anti Terrorist branch. John was also a key speaker on Op Griffin - raising the public and industry awareness on terrorist trends. He commented “I have been involved in the investigation of many terrorist offences and unfortunately have seen first hand the consequences of such atrocities in the UK. I had much input into protecting crowded places and iconic sites. When I was first introduced to the freestanding MVB 3X I instantly identified its worth. In quality, minimal secondary debris field, flexibility, ease of use, and rapid deployment.”
