ATG Access launches first impact tested surface mount bollard system
31/03/2011
The ATG Access “Topmount” Surface Mounted Deployable Bollard System has been designed by our engineering department to a CPNI brief for a specific requirement. The original brief called for a system that could be pinned to the ground, and whilst it may have seemed the most obvious approach, our engineering department considered that this would significantly limit the usability in real world scenarios. This is because the integrity of the ground surface to be used may not be consistent, and authorities would most likely be reluctant to have surfaces damaged when a temporary solution is installed.
Due to the unique way this bollard system is installed they provide PAS68 certified protection via the simple use of an anchor point at each end, negating the need to be bolted down. This means that you can easily and quickly deploy these bollards safe in the knowledge that you are not compromising on protection, and you are not compromising the ground surface (i.e. paving stones) underneath.
With rapid deployment capability for temporary events this bollard system could offer a short to mid-term solution for almost any perimeter security brief. We are currently in the process of testing this system as a buried solution that would only require a surface depth of less than 75mm, easily transforming the short term solution into a more permanent one if required.
