The levels of threat to the urban environment and people that frequent these outside spaces has certainly evolved over time and will no doubt continue to do so. Therefore, it is vital that people responsible for shaping our public realm recognise that there is often no ‘one size fits all’ response to security. Consequently, a multi-layered approach to perimeter protection must be considered to meet both present and future safety needs.

That’s where Marshalls’ Hostile Vehicle Mitigation (HVM) barriers can provide the perfect solution. We have a range of HVM security bollards and other products that can help to protect those living and working in urban surroundings, while the versatility of our offerings is unmatched across the market.

What is Hostile Vehicle Mitigation?

HVM barriers are used to prevent hostile vehicles from causing damage or harm to people or buildings – perhaps in the shape of bollards, litter bins, planters or seats. They are often found around offices and squares in city centre areas with plenty of foot traffic, and their spacing will be carefully planned to ensure a hostile vehicle cannot break through.

What are some examples of Hostile Vehicle Mitigation measures?

The RhinoGuard® range of Hostile Vehicle Mitigation barriers includes bollards, seating, planters, litter bins and cycle stands, allowing security measures to be hidden in plain sight, meaning your development can be made safe without having a detrimental effect on the aesthetic qualities of the space.

For example, our Igneo protective seat is a modular product that can be extended to any length you wish, while it also comes in four colours. Our litter bins retain a contemporary design to fit the modern urban environment and our HVM security bollards can be dressed with a range of different sleeve options, so they won’t look out of place, no matter where they’re installed.

We also offer Temporary Hostile Vehicle Mitigation solutions, which can be used to implement safety measures for any one-off events.
