Installation of the PIPS HVM system
The PIPS HVM system is a semi-permanent hostile vehicle mitigation solution with shallow foundations of just 250mm. It is designed to allow removal of both the posts and banners from the foundations as required. The socketed foundation design, enables secure installation without disruption to below-ground services, enabling the PIPS HVM system can to be deployed for temporary, intermittent, long-term or permanent HVM protection needs.
Posts are located at a standard distance of 1200mm apart, with banners attached between the HVM posts to display information or advertising materials. The banners can be removed quickly and easily for maintenance, provision of new pedestrian access points, or an exchange of graphics as required.
PIPS HVM system performance
Designed to stop and immobilise a vehicle, the PIPS HVM system acts as both a visual and physical deterrent to vehicle attacks. The post and banner work together as a single unit and the system is scalable with the addition of more posts and banners to extend or reconfigure the counter terrorism protection. The ability to change banners without removing the posts means that the HVM installation can be used to generate advertising revenue.
Options – such as planters, timber facades, or green walling – are available as an alternative to banners, enabling you to select an installation that complements your individual setting and aesthetic requirements. We can even add decorative features, such as vertical flag poles or top of post finials and low-level lighting for Alfresco dining. Talk to our team to find out more about the options available.
