Frequently asked questions

Why do events need hostile vehicle mitigation?

Crowded places are vulnerable to vehicle-based attacks or accidental incursions. Certified HVM barriers and bollards reduce these risks and can help compliance needs.

What standards do your event security solutions meet?

We offer temporary HVM systems that are tested and rated to meet BSI PAS 68, IWA 14-1 and ISO 22343 impact rating standards and NPSA’s Vehicle Attack Delay Standards (VADS).

How quickly can barriers be installed for an event?

We offer rapid deployment aligned to event build and break windows, including same-day or next-day installs where required. Modular, surface-mounted systems allow fast setup without disruption.

Will installation damage venue surfaces?

No. We offer surface-mounted solutions with protective mats, no drilling or permanent fixings required, making them ideal for sensitive or temporary event locations.

Can these systems work on uneven ground or tight spaces?

Yes. Modular designs adapt to irregular layouts and curved units plus barges cover challenging edges like water boundaries.

Do barriers restrict pedestrian flow or make events feel closed off?

Our systems include pedestrian portals and controlled access points to maintain safe, welcoming crowd movement while securing perimeters.

What happens if something goes wrong during the event?

Emergency call-out services are available, often within hours, to address issues quickly and keep your event secure.

Is it better to hire or buy event security barriers?

Hiring is ideal for short-term events and includes maintenance. Buying suits recurring or long-term needs, with optional service agreements.

How much does event security cost?

Costs depend on event size, duration and product selection. Hire is priced per unit per day, while purchase involves a one-off investment.
