Designed To Stop Vehicle Terrorist Attacks on Prominent City Bridges
Safetyflex Barriers have developed an innovative new ultra-shallow anti-terrorist bollard for protecting Bridges, footways and cycle ways for prominent cities from Vehicle Terrorist Attacks.
Safetyflex design team have once again designed the next generation of bollard, with their specialist designs and energy absorption materials they have designed a new type of bollard that requires:
- Light Weight Designed Bollard System for High Speed Install
- An Ultra Shallow Topping of “Only 80mm Deep”
- No pinning to the bridge deck
- 80mm Topping Only
Safetyflex’s new Truckstopper Bridge Bollard has been tested to IWA14, to stop an 18 ton vehicle (N3C) At 30mph with the attack impact at 30 Degrees, with only 80mm Topping.
The bollard has been designed to protect bridges, with the idea of using single heritage-style bollards that will create separate space for cyclists and pedestrians across the bridge, and enough space for all other bridge users.
