Heald wins approval for innovative
high security bollard
East Yorkshire firmHeald Ltd has been
awarded the UK, European and US patents for
its HT1-Raptor anti-terrorist security barrier.
The innovative system combines the high
security of a roadblocker with the flexibility of
a shallowmounted bollard.
Tested to both PAS68 and ASTM standards,
the HT1-Raptor not only halted a 7.5
tonne truck travelling at 80 kph (50mph)
but continued to function afterwards. It is
the best performing bollard in the world
for halting a vehicle quickly with minimal
downforce, protecting underground services
and structures.
The Raptor can operate as a standalone
unit or in a group to secure an opening of
virtually any size. It requires an excavation
depth of only 500 mm, making for an
extremely fast and easy installation.
Integrating well with modern architecture
while maintaining an imposing presence,
it is ideal for sites where high security is
essential but where contemporary style and
design are also important.
Company director Debbie Heald
commented: “It’s been five years of hard
work in securing the patent for this
innovative product, the brainchild of
our award winning designer Rod Heald,
however we’ve managed it!
“It’s a very proud and exciting day for
the company. We have recently been
awarded three new high profile oversees
contracts for the Raptor, this patent will
help future-proof our efforts in securing
projects in new and exciting markets.”
An Essex junior football club is enjoying a
brand new artificial grass pitch (AGP) thanks to
a £100,000 grant from The Premier League &
The FA Facilities Fund.
Writtle Minors FC near Chelmsford bagged
one of 67 grants totalling £5.8m for the
development of grassroots football facilities.
The AGP was installed by Limonta Smith
JV Ltd, a joint venture formed by Smith
Construction (Heckington) Ltd and turf
manufacturers Limonta Sport, a FIFA preferred
producer, which has been appointed to a
Football Foundation, Football Association,
Rugby Football Union, England Hockey and
Sport England framework for the second time.
The framework agreement ensures that the
country’s artificial grass pitches (AGPs) are of a
consistent quality and price.
Limonta Smith JV won the £135,000 project
to provide Writtle Minors FC with a state-of-
the-art all weather pitch, with the old tarmac
play area removed and replaced with a 37m x
30m Limonta Infinity 55 carpet.
Dawn Fencing Limited of Leigh installed Duo8
Super Rebound sports fencing and gates from
Zaun, while easy lift goals, bins and corner flags
gave the pitch a polished professional finish.
Zaun fencing was also employed just down the
road at a new artificial sports pitch and air dome
at Great Baddow High School opened by stars
from Premiership football teamWest HamUnited.
Then Hammers manager Sam Allardyce,
debutant Reece Burke and vice captain and
longest serving current player Mark Noble
opened The Dome, made possible by funding
from Sport England’s Inspired Facilities scheme,
which funds the renovation and modernisation
of grassroots sports facilities.
