APT Security Systems is set to protect key locations along the Thames waterfront.
The contract was awarded by Lambeth Council and is project managed by South Bank Employersโ Group. The installations will help secure the South Bank area, along with its tourist attractions, venues, theatres, and art and design-led destinations along the waterfront, protecting them from vehicular attack. The contract will be fulfilled over the coming months with perimeter protection products being installed on a phased basis. The system will rely upon APT Security Systemsโ crash-rated shallow mounted static bollards (the APT40SH and APT30SH), used in combination with APTโs Automatic Bollard (APT50A) and its Mid Depth Static Bollard (APT50ST).
The bollards are to be sympathetic to the design and architecture of the South Bank area, says Chris Rowlands at APT: โWe donโt want to compromise on the aesthetics. Much work has been done in recent years to transform the South Bank, making it inviting for Londoners and tourists alike, but it is important that those visitors and the buildings are safeguarded against vehicular attack. This is an extensive project that will help to protect one of Londonโs popular cultural destinations โ and one which we are delighted to have been awarded.โ
