Perimeter security

Permanent vehicle barriers, bollards & walls

Bi-Steel vehicle barriers, bollards and blast wall systems offer high levels of stand-off protection and site perimeter security at sensitive locations.

They provide industry-leading standards of performance, meet the requirements of PAS 68:2007, and deliver superior blast protection from terrorist bomb attack, VBIEDs and unauthorised access.

The systems have been developed with the requirement for minimal groundworks. This reduces the need to re-route local utilities (such as power/gas supplies and communications cables) located underneath the pavement. The resulting rapid installation reduces disruption as well as enabling savings to be made on both project programme time and budget.

Bi-Steel anti-attack vehicle barriers, bollards and blast walls have been installed at crowded places within city centre locations as well as at transport hubs, industrial facilities and government and defence establishments. Many of these projects provide robust physical protection, hence protecting life, property and operational continuity. At each location Bi-Steel is providing an effective and highly reliable solution to the client’s individual needs.

Vehicle bollard system

Bi-Steel’s high strength capabilities have enabled the creation of a unique shallow foundation design into which PAS 68 approved bollards can be directly fixed - these can be supplied by Bi-Steel or directly from the manufacturer. The Bi-Steel PAS 68 tested bollard foundation requires less than 40% of the groundwork excavation compared with an equivalent reinforced concrete foundation.

Bi-Steel bollard foundation units are designed as standard modules that deliver a straight line of bollards positioned at regular intervals. However, variants are supplied to include curved units for use at road entrances and junctions and a variety of bespoke units can be supplied to meet specific streetscape requirements. Bi-Steel bollard foundation units can also be used in conjunction with Bi-Steel wall systems offering a wide range of streetscape solutions.

Vehicle wall system

This Bi-Steel wall system consists of fixed walls, which are installed onto pre-fabricated rapid-install mini pile foundations based on a simple steel post foundation technique requiring minimal excavation. Once in position, the Bi-Steel units are filled with concrete to provide vehicle impact and blast resistant walls for perimeter and stand-off protection.

A variety of wall configurations is available to meet individual requirements, including standard walls, balustrade and bespoke design options. The Bi-Steel walls have been carefully designed to blend aesthetically into the local environment and can be painted, clad in brick or stone, or cement rendered. The wall system can be used in conjunction with the Bi-Steel bollard system to provide a wide range of streetscape solutions.

Bi-Steel security solutions approach

Corus Bi-Steel’s holistic approach is focused on addressing the requirements of each individual customer’s security situation. Bi-Steel delivers protection to meet long term security needs, from protecting key government and commercial buildings for which there exists a significant threat, to critical national infrastructure such as airports, utilities and key industrial sites.

Bi-Steel has developed solutions to meet the most demanding requirements for perimeter and stand-off protection. These range from standard blast walls, to highly engineered solutions designed to provide unrivalled protection from blast, whilst blending aesthetically into the local environment (such as surrounding street furniture).

Bi-Steel solutions have been deployed at several high profile sites in Westminster as well as at airports, research/pharmaceutical facilities and military bases. Many of these projects are highly sensitive.
