Systra HVM Barriers have been extensively used on a wide range of HVM projects to enhance building stand-off protection to deter attack and reduce consequential loss vehicle-borne improvised explosive devices (VIBIEDs) and increasingly specified for many vulnerable site perimeters.
Systra’s re-deployable perimeter and stand-off protection solutions have been designed to deliver unrivalled protection for people and assets against VBIED attacks and explosive blasts. The systems can be deployed quickly with minimal disruption, typically on a short or medium-term basis, providing an ideal solution for security-sensitive locations or events. Although they may be supplied in short runs to protect a small span, they may also be used in other Systra HVM products, including drop arm barriers and swing gates.
Systra Barriers have been installed at various high-profile locations and temporary venues. Many of these deployments provide operational continuity at each location. Thus, allowing sites to adapt as changes occur to the threat or site operations. The system provides an effective and highly reliable solution to the client’s individual changing needs.
The highly re-deployable nature of the system means it can be put into position quickly and then subsequently moved or reconfigured as the need arises, creating a legacy security solution that can be easily adapted to meet changing client requirements.
The Systra HVM Barriers have been designed to control traffic effectively across various road layouts. This means that many barriers can be linked together to create an extended length of HVM. Manufactured comprising two steel plates connected to form panels by an array of welded transverse bars. The panels are filled with ready mixed concrete, and the resulting composite offers protection against explosive blast and impact.
Each HVM Barrier is 900mm high x 3010 or 3213mm long with a depth of 416mm and weighs approximately 2858kg, providing a strong and heavy HVM deterrent. In addition, Systra barriers are typically linked using 2 x connection pins depending on the HVM requirements on the project. As a result, Systra Barriers are easily connected to other products in the Systra HVM range using the appropriate connector.
The Barriers are painted as standard using a two-coat paint system in black and yellow. Bespoke colour schemes based on RAL colours with reflective tapes/signage and embellishments are also available on request.
