Hostile vehicle mitigation bollards

The highest level of protection for people and assets

Protect high-value assets with HVM bollards

Hostile vehicle mitigation (HVM) bollards offer the highest level of protection for sensitive and high-value locations. They are ideal for places where there is a risk of vehicles losing control or vehicle-based attacks.

In 2019, Roadside developed its own HVM bollard – the Australian-made RAM48. We also supply and install a range of Pilomat HVM bollards. Our bollards are all independently tested and certified to BSI PAS 68 standard. They can stop vehicles travelling up to 100 km/h and weighing up to 7,500 kilograms.

Our hostile vehicle mitigation bollards are:

  • Designed to provide the highest level of protection from vehicles
  • PAS 68 certified and installed with secure footing
  • Crash tested and rated for trucks travelling up to 100 km/h

Hostile vehicle mitigation bollard applications

Vehicle security barriers are strongly recommended by the federal government in its hostile vehicle guidelines for crowded places. HVM bollards are the most effective security barriers and can be installed in a wide variety of locations to protect people and high-value assets. Our HVM bollard solutions include:

  • Protecting high-value assets such as airports, embassies, government buildings and military assets
  • Protecting locations with large groups of people such as outdoor markets and religious congregations
  • Protecting high-traffic areas from out of control vehicles

Hostile Vehicle Mitigation Bollards in action

Rundle Mall

Overview

Adelaide City Council needed to create a physical barrier at both ends of the Rundle Mall pedestrian shopping precinct. The solution needed to provide safety for pedestrian, traders and motorists while also enabling authorised vehicle access. The delivery and installation also had to be achieved in a strict time frame.

Solution

Our retractable EABs provided the perfect solution for Rundle Mall. We installed 20 static Energy Absorbing Bollards and six retractable automatic bollards. We were able to design, develop and install the full solution in a short period of time, meeting all of the council’s requirements.
