Event Security

Pitagone is a portable and lightweight hostile vehicle mitigation (HVM) barrier system, designed to protect pedestrians at events and in public spaces from vehicle-borne attacks. The Pitagone range includes the Pitagone F11 and Pitagone F18. Both are modular, can be assembled without tools by a single person and transported in a van, yet are capable of stopping a 7.5 tonne truck travelling at 48km/h. Units can also be moved easily to allow emergency vehicles to pass. This makes Pitagone ideal for event security, from Christmas markets to sporting events, and for temporary perimeter security where a quick, low-impact deployment is needed. See Pitagone F18 in action at the Bath Christmas Market, and read more about protecting Christmas markets with HVM. View Our HVM Brochure

Our Surface Mounted HVM Bollards are a PAS68 hostile vehicle mitigation solution. Our surface mounted system is one of the first of its kind to be impact rated and provide PAS 68 certified impact protection. Fast and straightforward installation and removal allows the array of HVM bollards to be used when heightened security measures are needed, performing as a temporary security measure. This Hostile Vehicle Mitigation bollard system can be installed on a more permanent basis if site security requirements change. Ground surfaces are unharmed as no bolts are required. Taking just over ten minutes to install six bollards, the array does not require anything to anchor it to, as the system is stand alone. This system can be used to protect an internal or external perimeter. Not only will the bollards mitigate against vehicle-borne explosive attacks; they will also provide an intelligent solution for temporary security against attacks where vehicles are used as the weapon.
