British Bollards Protect American Embassy

Story

ATG Access SP1000 bollards now stand guard at the American Consular in Edinburgh.

ATG Access has installed over 250,000 bollards in the UK and abroad and its anti-terrorist SP1000 product is fast becoming the preferred method of secure access control for government facilities and other areas at risk of attack by vehicle borne explosives.

The American Embassy in Edinburgh follows several projects around the centre of London as well as a contract to protect the British Consular General in Istanbul and the installation of SP1000 anti terrorist bollards at the brand new Emirates Stadium in Islington.

The SP1000 has been tested to the forthcoming PAS68 standard which has been designed to match or exceed the American K12 L3 standard. One single SP1000 bollard was tested on three separate occasion, first at 30mph and then twice at 50mph, each time with a fully laden 7.5 tonne truck. Each test resulted in a dead stop of the vehicle and the bollard continuing to function.
