Terrorists and large criminal organisations can often source vehicles that can be used to break into various sites, so it\u2019s best to guard against any form of automotive attack. But what type of Hostile Vehicle Mitigation measures should you install? The answer depends on the size of your premises, its location and how much legitimate vehicular traffic it has to accommodate.<\/p>\n<h2>1. Size<\/h2>\n<p>If your site or premises is relatively small or compact, it\u2019s important to make the most of the available space with HVM measures that can be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/integrated-perimeters-cpd-london-build-expo\/\" title=\"Integrated perimeters CPD at London Build Expo\">integrated into your site\u2019s existing perimeter<\/a> and stop an intruder\u2019s vehicle when it\u2019s very close to its target. For example, you may wish to incorporate our Terror Stopper bi-folding gates or hinged gates into the perimeter and replace your existing security fencing solution with our <a data-wpil=\"url\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/products\/hisec-super-pas-68-fence\/\">HiSec Super PAS 68<\/a> fencing solution, which can stop most vehicles in their tracks but also serves as a conventional fencing solution. However, if you have more space, you may wish to focus on stopping vehicles before they can reach the main part of your site or premises. You may choose to use bollards or separate vehicular barriers to accomplish this.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Location<\/h2>\n<p>If your site or premises are located in a built-up area and can be accessed via roads, vehicular attacks are likely to come along one of these roads. In this case, you can focus on stopping attacking vehicles while moving along a road towards you. For example, you can install retractable bollards that can be used to stop clearly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/hostile-vehicle-mitigation-options\/\" title=\"3 options for hostile vehicle defence\">hostile vehicles<\/a>, or you can install mount blockers, which can only be passed over in one direction, thereby limiting the manoeuvrability of hostile vehicles. However, if your site or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/access-gates\/\" title=\"Choosing the right access solution for your premises\">premises is in an isolated location with minimal road access<\/a>, terrorists or criminals may choose to attack you using off-road vehicles from any angle. In this case, you should focus on an effective <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/fence-for-your-site\/\" title=\"Choosing the right fence for your site\">fencing solution that can encompass your entire site<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Level of legitimate vehicular traffic<\/h2>\n<p>If your site has to accommodate a high number of vehicles as part of its day-to-day operation, some solutions may not be workable. Separate vehicular barriers or fences that have to unfold for each vehicle individually may slow down legitimate traffic, for example. However, you can still use bollards, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/products\/fence-mounted-basketball-hoop\/\" title=\"Fence Mounted Basketball Hoop\">mount blockers and fencing<\/a> solutions. However, if your site doesn\u2019t get high levels of vehicular traffic, you can utilise the toughest, most resilient solutions available without disrupting the running of your site.<\/p>\n<p>By considering the size and location of your site, along with how much traffic it usually gets, you can decide which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/casestudies\/barracks-fencing\/\" title=\"Royal Artillery Barracks secured\">HVM<\/a> measures suit your circumstances best.
