As Local authorities develop town and city centres as greener, more walkable spaces, there is a need to protect pedestrianised and social locations from vehicle attacks or incursions.
At SAFECROWDS our expertise in HVM specification and installation, and the wide range of semi-permanent and permanent HVM systems we offer can protect:
- Pedestrianised streets
- Public squares
- Outdoor dining and hospitality areas
- Municipal parks and gardens
- Low traffic neighbourhoods
- Public event spaces
- Cycle routes
HVM that enhances the public realm
Our permanent and semi-permanent HVM systems are designed to protect pedestrianised areas from vehicle attacks and incursions, keeping public areas free to be enjoyed and free from harm, while enhancing the urban landscape.
SAFECROWDS works collaboratively with local authorities, planners and landscape architects to provide a solution that complements the location, while responding effectively and proportionately to the identified risk.
Our range of HVM systems for public realm installation includes:
- HVM bollards
- HVM planters
- HVM street furniture
- Slimline HVM bollards
- HVM speedbumps
All our HVM systems have been tested and certified and not only can we offer a range of finishes and colours, but we can also customise some of our HVM solutions with branding, advertising or wayfinding.
Semi-permanent HVM for the public realm
Our semi-permanent HVM solutions for the public realm offer certified levels of protection against vehicle attacks or incursions, while providing maximum flexibility.
Many of our systems feature shallow-mount foundations for ease, speed and reduced cost of installation, with ability to remove and reinstate the HVM basis as and when needed.
With our semi-permanent HVM systems, you can benefit from:
- Rapid removal of the HVM system for access by emergency or authorised vehicles
- Opening locations to traffic at specified times
- Protecting locations used as event spaces during event times only
Permanent HVM for the public realm
For locations where there is no requirement for temporary removal of the HVM protection, a permanent HVM system may be the preferred option. We can advise you on the most suitable combination of permanent and semi-permanent systems to suit your environment, your practical requirements and the level of risk identified.
We will work with you to discuss your needs and limitations, and meeting your site’s security requirements without compromising its aesthetics.
