Shallow Mount Road Blockers

A Shallow Mount Road Blocker is a specialized, high-security physical barrier designed to prevent unauthorized vehicle entry, particularly in scenarios involving high-impact ramming attempts. Unlike traditional deep-foundation barriers, these systems require significantly less excavation—often less than 400mm—making them the ideal solution for sites with complex underground utilities, constrained spaces, or sensitive architectural requirements common across the UAE. These blockers typically utilize heavy-duty steel construction and powerful hydraulic or electro-mechanical actuation systems to rise rapidly and form an impenetrable wall. When deployed, the robust structure is certified to withstand impacts from heavy goods vehicles traveling at high speeds (e.g., K4, K8, or K12 ratings, equivalent to IWA 14-1 or PAS 68 standards). By minimizing civil work while maximizing security performance, the shallow foundation blocker technology provides a cost-effective and efficient means of implementing certified Hostile Vehicle Mitigation (HVM) strategies across Dubai and the wider Gulf region.

Choosing our Shallow Mount Road Blockers means investing in certified security designed for the unique challenges of the UAE environment. Our systems offer a superior blend of performance, flexibility, and reliability:

• Minimal Civil Disruption: The primary advantage is the low depth road blocker design, requiring only shallow excavation. This drastically reduces installation time, cost, and complexity, especially in urban areas like Sharjah and Dubai where utility infrastructure is dense.
• Certified HVM Protection: Our blockers meet stringent international standards (e.g., PAS 68, IWA 14-1), ensuring proven resistance against high-velocity vehicle attacks. This is crucial for protecting high-value assets and personnel.
• Rapid Deployment Speed: Utilizing advanced hydraulic systems, these barriers can deploy in as little as 3-5 seconds, providing immediate security response capabilities necessary for critical access points.
• Superior Durability and Reliability: Constructed from robust, corrosion-resistant materials suitable for the harsh UAE climate, ensuring long-term operational integrity with minimal maintenance.
• Seamless Integration: Designed for easy integration with existing access control systems, including CCTV, license plate recognition (LPR), and biometric readers, offering a unified security platform.
• Aesthetically Pleasing Options: While highly functional, the blockers can be finished to blend seamlessly with the surrounding architecture, maintaining the aesthetic appeal of corporate or governmental premises.

Shallow Mount Road Blockers are essential components of a comprehensive perimeter security strategy wherever high-level vehicle intrusion protection is required. Their versatility and minimal installation footprint make them suitable for a wide range of sensitive locations across the UAE:

• Government and Diplomatic Facilities: Embassies, consulates, and ministerial buildings in Abu Dhabi and Dubai require the highest level of anti-ram protection.
• Critical Infrastructure: Power plants, data centers, telecommunications hubs, and water treatment facilities where operational continuity is paramount.
• Aviation and Maritime: Airports (e.g., Dubai International Airport) and major seaports, securing perimeter access points and restricted zones.
• Financial Institutions: Banks, stock exchanges, and corporate headquarters requiring robust protection against smash-and-grab attempts or HVM threats.
• High-Profile Commercial Centers: Luxury shopping malls, five-star hotels, and major exhibition centers (like Dubai Expo sites) that experience high pedestrian traffic and require discreet yet effective security.
• Military and Defense Installations: Securing entry points where absolute control over vehicle movement is necessary.

Our Shallow Mount Road Blockers are rigorously tested and certified by leading international bodies to ensure maximum performance and compliance. Key certifications include:

• PAS 68/IWA 14-1 Compliance: Certification confirming the barrier’s ability to halt a specific weight and speed of vehicle, defining its anti-ram capability (e.g., K4, K8, K12 ratings).
• CE Marking: Ensures compliance with European safety, health, and environmental protection requirements, guaranteeing quality and reliability.
• ISO 9001: Certification of the manufacturing process and quality management systems.
• Local UAE Civil Defence Approval: Ensuring all installations meet the stringent safety and operational requirements mandated by local authorities in Abu Dhabi and Dubai.

These certifications provide our clients in the UAE with the assurance that they are deploying globally recognized, high-performance security technology.
