ATG Access have designed and launched a Shallow Mount bollard.
The makers say that this product not only offers PAS 68 rated protection, it also provides customers with what the company calls a โgreen solutionโ to perimeter security needs.
Shallow mount bollards were originally designed to combat the problematic fitting of traditional bollards which require deep foundations and can cause inconvenience when exposing a range of services, prohibiting installation. Through meeting the brief to design and test a bollard system which required shallower foundations but still met a high security rating; ATG Access have developed a โgreener solutionโ for its customers.
During installation of this product, disruption of habitats and tree roots is kept to a minimum, the makers say. Less plant machinery is required on site to fit the product which in turn reduces pollution and noise.
The product uses a smaller amount of concrete, less than 25 per cent of the concrete employed in a traditional foundation, it is claimed. This building material is reportedly responsible for 2pc of UK carbon dioxide emissions so, the physical security product company says, it is vital that installers using this substance are mindful of this.
Working with trade partners internationally and nationally, the firmโs Shallow Mount bollards have already been chosen above rival products, according to the company. Applications have included banks, airport terminals, and railways. Visit their website at –
