This ebook from Marshalls examines the challenges of protecting public spaces from criminal and terrorist vehicle attacks without sacrificing the aesthetics of the built environment or creating an oppressive, “fortress-like” atmosphere<\/h2>\n

Jaz Vilkhu, Managing Director of Marshalls Landscape Protection<\/a>, argues that improving protection and public safety is not simply a matter of putting up steel bollards or reinforced concrete barriers. Psychology has a key role to play and a fine balance is needed to ensure safeguarding measures do not create a feeling of fear that ultimately keeps people away.<\/p>\n

He looks at some of the growing list of products that integrate security measures<\/a> and hostile vehicle mitigation with appealing design, such as planters, seating and lighting columns. With the strongest specification available, these can stop a 7.5-tonne articulated lorry travelling at 50mph.<\/p>\n

The design and layout of public spaces also has a role to play. Chicanes and width-restricted lanes can slow down traffic to prevent cars mounting the pavement, while specialist kerb systems can help to deflect vehicles away.<\/p>\n

It is not just the threat of terrorism that needs to be guarded against; criminal activity, such as ram raids, cost millions every year, with \u00a38m alone lost to vehicle attacks on ATMs.<\/p>\n

Up until recently, there has been no tested and proven standard for security products designed to protect against such attacks.<\/p>\n

Roger Knight, Marshalls\u2019 Head of New Product Development and Engineering for Landscape Protection, takes a look at the new PAS 170 standard and how it can help planners to specify products proportionate to the level of threat.<\/p>\n

Incorporating these types of security measures into the design process, backed by official standards, means that public spaces can stay attractive, welcoming and accessible while also being safe.<\/p>\n
