A security barrier that has been value engineered for complete site perimeters and not just their entrances will debut in the new physical perimeter security zone at IFSEC 2016. The annual show runs in London from June 21 to 23.
The Blokade (stand F1975) has been designed by the precast concrete drainage system specialist Kijlstra to prevent vehicles of all sizes driving over it, as the product’s pyramid shape is designed to impale them.
Blokade also interlocks; each 5.2-tonne unit of four 1m2 pyramids featuring a ‘male’ and ‘female’ connector that slot into place, offering an anti-terrorist system for site perimeters, the makers say.
Suitable it’s claimed for sensitive sites including MoD, nuclear power stations, airports, ports, rail yards and factories, each unit is 1m high and 4m long (excluding male connector) and features chamfered/mitred corners and four integral lifting points.
Made from smooth, self-compacting concrete and resistant to freeze and thaw attack to international standard XF4, Blokade has a design life of at least 60 years, the makers add.
Kijlstra adds that the Blokade security barrier is something of a departure for the business better known for its specialist drainage systems, including the square manhole the company launched to the UK construction sector seven years ago.
