Hostile Vehicle Mitigation

Hostile Vehicle Mitigation

At Heald, we have a unique range of hostile vehicle mitigation products including HVM Bollards and HVM Roadblockers. We always have solutions available that can be made to suit your site requirements. No matter what you are looking for, we are here to help.

What is Hostile Vehicle Mitigation?

Hostile vehicle mitigation (HVM) products are needed now more than ever. Vehicle-borne attacks can range from vandalism, to sophisticated or aggressive attacks by determined criminals or terrorists.

However, we can help mitigate attacks with our range of perimeter security products including various HVM roadblockers and HVM bollards, which we design and manufacture in-house, in the UK.

All of our products are crash tested to standards including PAS68, IWA 14 and ASTM. Having crash tested products in place gives peace of mind that you are protecting and securing your perimeter.

Securing Locations Worldwide

You can find our products protecting places and people all over the world. Some of our installations include securing New Orleans Historic French Quarter with our HVM Bollards, The UN Building, airports throughout the world, plus a temporary installation at The Crucible in Sheffield, where our surface mounted Matador protected the World Snooker Championships.

Customising your Security…

Many of our products can be supplied with different customisation options to enhance your security further. Whether you need lighting to make your perimeter security product stand out more, or bollard covers so the product blends in with surrounding architecture, we can help.
 Commander Automatic Road Blocker

Commander Automatic Road Blocker

The Commander Automatic Road Blocker is the world’s only security barrier PAS68 tested to stop a 30 tonne truck travelling at 80 kph (50 mph). Following the crash test, the road blocker continued to function.

Halting a 30 tonne truck at 80 kph (50 mph) is officially the highest ever impact energy test successfully undertaken on a security barrier. Not only this, but the automatic road blocker also achieved a zero penetration result.

Standing 1165 mm above the ground and presenting an imposing security barrier, The Commander is intended for sites where high profile security is essential. There is simply no alternative if you require the very highest level of security.
 Viper Shallow Mounted Road Blocker

Viper Shallow Mounted Road Blocker

Heald’s Viper is an imposing security roadblocker which due to its ingenious British folding design, only requires a very shallow foundation depth. The shallow mount road blocker has been tested to both PAS68 and ASTM standards to give you the ultimate perimeter protection.

During crash testing, the Viper roadblocker halted a 7.5 tonne truck travelling at a speed of 80 kph (50 mph) and continued to function afterwards. The Viper was tested against an N3 vehicle, which are difficult to stop due to their size in comparison to other vehicles.

In house testing at Heald’s factory has guaranteed that the Viper has a proven reliability, with a 200,000 cycle test report.
 PAS68 Road Blocker

PAS68 Road Blocker

Our PAS68 Road Blockers are the perfect solution for security installations where a high profile deterrent is required and have been tested to stop a 7.5 tonne truck travelling at 80 kph (50 mph).

Hydraulic Road Blockers

Due to Heald’s world leading design and manufacturing, all of our hydraulic road blocker models continue to function following impact, ensuring ongoing protection and access for emergency services vehicles. The design of the PAS68 Road Blocker's sacrificial front radius plate ensures protection of your site after impact.

Our hydraulic road blockers are available in two heights to create an imposing barrier. When fully raised, they stand at 880 mm or 1165 mm above the ground, depending on which model you choose. The PAS68 Roadblockers come finished in bright yellow and black stripes for high visibility. However, alternative colours are available.
 Raptor Retractable Bollards

Raptor Retractable Bollards

Heald’s Raptor is a patent protected retractable security bollard, crash tested to both PAS68 and ASTM standards. Following crash testing, the Raptor received a zero penetration result and operated after impact.

Heald’s Raptor combines the high security of a road blocker with the flexibility of a shallow mount bollard. The retractable bollard is the most resistant bollard of its type on the market due to its unique design and internal reinforcement which other bollards simply don’t have.

Tested to both PAS68 and ASTM standards, the Raptor halted a 7.5 tonne truck travelling at 80 kph (50 mph). During testing, downforce measurements were taken and were found to be extremely low, meaning underlying services and building structures remain protected upon impact, which is another unique feature of this security product. The retractable bollard also continued to function following the impact, maintaining emergency services access and on-going protection.
 Evo Automatic Bollard

Evo Automatic Bollard

Heald’s Evo Bollard is a patent protected, automatic rising bollard, crash tested to IWA-14 standards. You won’t find anything else like Heald’s Evo Bollard on the market due to its unique design.

Tested as a single unit, the Evo Bollard has been IWA crash tested to halt a 7.2 tonne truck travelling at 64 kph (40 mph). The security bollard continued to function following impact, providing emergency services access and continued protection. The automatic bollard is the most resistant bollard of its type on the market due to its internal reinforcement which other bollards simply don’t have.
 Crash Tested Bollard

Crash Tested Bollard

Our Crash Tested Automatic Bollard is ideal for locations where a more architecturally sensitive security solution is required.

K8 Rated Bollards

Rising to a height of either 640 mm or 800 mm, our Crash Tested Bollards succeeded in halting a 6.8 tonne truck travelling at 64 kph (40 mph), in the US K8 impact test.

Crash Tested Bollards are available in a range of colours and finishes to integrate with any environment, as well as with reflective strips for high visibility.
 Apex Static Shallow Mount Bollard

Apex Static Shallow Mount Bollard

Heald’s Apex Static Bollard (UK Design number: 6145254) provides a shallow mount solution that is flexible and can easily adapt to a wide variety of locations due to its modular design.

The Apex Bollard was designed to enable simple and fast bollard installation in either a straight line or a curved array. The circular bollard is suitable for a variety of aesthetic finishes and covers, providing a seamless perimeter to both historic and contemporary architecture.
 Bridge Bollard Expansion Joint

Bridge Bollard Expansion Joint

Heald’s Synergy Bridge Bollard System Expansion Joint consists of a 5400mm barrier creating a free space of 4000mm between the two bollards as part of the Heald Bridge Bollard System. This unit was designed to provide capacity for bridge expansion, allowing for lateral movement of up to 150mm. The unique design requires no pinning and no excavation into the carriageway.

Although the Bridge Bollard Expansion Joint has been designed to address the challenges specifically faced in protecting bridges, it is also ideal for any locations where even bolting to the ground is not possible. The opening provided by the Expansion Joint unit is beneficial to provide protection over areas with manhole covers or near-surface utilities which prevent the installation of bollards. This will allow for a continuous line of hostile vehicle mitigation protection.

The bollard system has been IWA-14 crash tested to halt a 7.2 N3C vehicle (18 tonner) travelling at 48 kph (30 mph). Its unique interlocking design provides shared distribution of the load, while patent applied technology offers additional protection by anchoring the bollards into the ground upon impact, preventing the vehicle from penetrating the area the bollards are protecting. The crash test vehicle impacted the barrier in the centre, with no encroachment of the vehicle onto the pedestrian footway. The modular bollard design of the Bridge Bollard System allows for additional bollards to be added to expand the area being protected.
 Bridge Bollard System (Synergy)

Bridge Bollard System (Synergy)

Heald's Bridge Bollard System has been designed primarily for helping to secure bridges against the threat of hostile vehicle attacks. However, the product is capable of securing a much wider number of locations including inner cities and footways.

The revolutionary product consists of nine fixed bollards on individual baseplates, which are bolted together. It is a completely unique product which requires no pinning. The product has been crash tested with an array of nine interconnected bollards, with the design allowing for additional bollards to be added to expand the area being protected.

The Bridge Bollard System has been IWA-14 crash tested to halt a 7.2 tonne N3C truck (18 tonner) travelling at 48 kph (30 mph). The product was tested at 30 degrees to demonstrate how a vehicle could impact the bollards on a bridge.
 Matador Sliding Bollards

Matador Sliding Bollards

Heald’s multi award winning sliding bollard system, the Matador is a patent protected security system, crash tested to different IWA standards. The Matador has revolutionised the perimeter security industry and has been recognised by numerous awards for innovation.

The Matador is designed and proven to protect underground utilities during its IWA crash test. During crash testing, not only did the sliding bollard system arrest the test vehicle with a zero penetration rating, it continued to function following the impact with no repairs.
 Fixed Matador Bollards

Fixed Matador Bollards

Heald’s Fixed Matador is a surface mounted, static bollard system that offers the convenience and security of our Matador sliding bollard systems, but in a simple, static package.

The fixed bollard has been PAS68 crash tested to halt a 7.5 tonne truck travelling at 48 kph (30 mph) and offers a number of advantages over more traditionally mounted systems.

Fixed Bollards

The fixed bollard system is simply bolted to the road, requiring no excavation whatsoever. Alternatively, it can be installed flush with the road surface with a 110 mm excavation.
 Mantis 64 & 80 Static Bollards

Mantis 64 & 80 Static Bollards

The Mantis static bollard series are available in different security levels to suit your site requirements. The security bollards only require a very shallow foundation depth.

Heald’s sleek and stylish Mantis 64 & 80 are a static bollard system which are ideal for sites where a high level of protection is required but where integration with modern architecture is also a priority.

Offering high security combined with a fast, low cost installation, The static bollard has been crash tested three times so we can offer you different levels of security. The Mantis 80 has been IWA-14 crash tested to halt a 7.2 tonne truck (18 tonner) travelling at a speed of 80 kph. The Mantis 64 has also been PAS68 crash tested to halt a 7.5 tonne truck travelling at 64 kph, achieving a zero penetration and zero dispersion rating. During the impact, the structure of the bollard remained intact, ensuring continued protection against further attack.
Hydra Range Remote Control & Monitoring System

Hydra Range Remote Control & Monitoring System

Heald’s Hydra is a remote control and monitoring system, designed to simplify and streamline interaction with automated roadblockers and bollards, whilst adding more remote functionality.

The Hydra allows access via a range of devices including tablet, desktop and laptop PCs and even mobile phones via SMS. This opens up a range of possibilities for both monitoring and control.

The status of a blocker or bollard can be checked simply by texting the Hydra, which will reply with a status update SMS. Blockers and bollards can also be opened and closed by sending an SMS. The Hydra can be set to text regular updates to a user’s phone, or to text only when an issue is detected. This means that notification of a problem can be instantaneous, anywhere in the world with a mobile phone signal.
