Finals
in Security Excellence Awards
with
Innovative Matador Sliding Bollard System
PSSA
Member News.
Heald have been selected as finalists in the
Counter-Terrorism
Solution
of
the
Year
category at the2013Security ExcellenceAwards for their
innovative surface mount Matador bollard system.
Heald’s PAS68 tested Matador bollards are slowly revolutionising the
world of perimeter security. The Matador offers an extremely high level
of security combined with an unobtrusive appearance and rapid, low
impact fitting. Its surface mount technology means that it is perfect
for temporary sites where security cannot be compromised, as well as
situations where the imposing facade of a more traditional
Roadblocker has too much visual impact. Its unique sliding
opening not only allows for the possibility of surface mount but also
ensures that the bollards remain visible to the user at all times, unlike
traditional
automated
rising
bollards.
Achieving
zero
penetration and zero dispersion during PAS68 testing the Matador
presents a truly formidable defence against hostile vehicle attack.
Already this year the Matador has been recognised with the High-
ly Commended award at the ADS Annual Security Innovation Awards
in March and won the Commended Category for Best Physical
Security Innovation at the Counter Terror Expo Excellence Awards inMay.
