Townscape Products Limited, has extended its range of hostile vehicle mitigation (HVM) products with the launch of the Performa-Cast PAS 68 bollard sleeve.
Gunwharf Quays in Portsmouth, the waterfront retail and leisure area has installed bollard sleeves along its quayside. Some 35 Performa-Cast PAS 68 sleeves were developed in two designs, the Gunwharf Heritage and the Senator, to complement the heritage street furniture. Townscape launched the bollard sleeve at the Counter Terror Expo at Olympia, London in April. The UK makers say that the sleeve is designed to fit over existing or new PAS 68 bollards and is made in Performa-Cast, an engineering grade polyurethane cast. The makers claim their product offers the aesthetic benefits of cast iron with the performance of steel but with more durability. Jonathan Goss, managing director of Townscape, said: โThis new product has been created after listening carefully to our customersโ requirements. Many locations and projects have existing bollards which tie into a specific landscape design. We have been asked repeatedly if these designs could be retained but with added security โ and thatโs where the idea for the Performa-Cast PAS 68 bollard sleeve originated. Our Performa-Cast moulds are made to exactly match the existing bollard designs so they will look identical, yet the combination of the Performa-Cast sleeve and the PAS 68 bollard offers an extremely strong, non-ferrous, non- rusting exterior surface.
