Surface Guard

Our Surface Guard™ vehicle barrier provides temporary hostile vehicle mitigation (HVM) protection from vehicle-borne threats at events, as well as providing a safe area for pedestrians where shops, cafés and bars provide outdoor seating.

Many different site scenarios and existing street furniture items can be incorporated within a Surface Guard deployment and the product is ideal for council pedestrianisation schemes. Surface Guard was used to protect visitors at the Birmingham Christmas Market.

Design

Although the barrier is designed to prevent vehicle penetration there is the facility to allow emergency vehicles being admitted with the Surface Guard Emergency vehicle access point option (EVAP).

Supplied in individual units, Surface Guard is lightweight and able to be stacked completely flat making transportation very easy. The system is compact, easy to store, lightweight, robust, and easy to install.

Installation can be achieved across one standard road width with kerbs in just 40 minutes with four people and lifting bar and no forklift truck assistance is required.
