HVM Solution

  When we first began working with government facilities across the UAE, one challenge surfaced repeatedly: security directors needed robust vehicle barriers that could integrate seamlessly into existing urban landscapes without requiring extensive excavation or months-long installation timelines. This challenge has shaped how we approach perimeter security in the region. Understanding Hostile Vehicle Mitigation in High-Risk Environments Hostile Vehicle Mitigation (HVM) bollards represent a fundamental shift in how we protect public spaces. Unlike standard traffic posts, these are crash-rated barriers engineered to stop vehicles traveling at high speeds often 50 mph or more dead in their tracks. The physics are straightforward but demanding: when a 7.5-ton vehicle moving at speed meets a properly engineered bollard, the bollard must absorb and redirect tremendous kinetic energy without failing. This requires precise engineering validated through internationally recognized crash te...

  Every secure facility shares one critical vulnerability: its access points. We've seen it time and again across the Middle East, airports, government complexes, logistics hubs, and public infrastructure investing millions in surveillance systems, digital security, and trained personnel, only to leave their physical entry points exposed to vehicle-based threats. At Frontier Pitts Middle East , we work with government agencies and facility managers who understand a simple truth: if a hostile or unauthorized vehicle can breach an access point, your entire security perimeter has already failed. That's why anti-intruder barriers have evolved from optional upgrades to foundational infrastructure in modern perimeter security design. Why Access Points Demand More Than Deterrence Think of an access point like the front door of a home. You wouldn't rely solely on a video doorbell for protection. You'd want a solid lock, reinforced frame, and a door engineered to resist forced ...

  Emergencies don't wait. They don't care if your security team is ready or if evacuation routes have been drilled. They arrive fast and when they do, every second counts. At Frontier Pitts Middle East, we've spent years helping facilities across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah solve a critical challenge: how do you maintain world-class security and ensure instant evacuation when it matters most? The answer lies in emergency turnstile unlocking systems and today, we're sharing exactly how they work, why they're essential, and how our FPTI Full Height Turnstile sets the standard for life-safety performance across the region. What Is an Emergency Turnstile Unlocking System? Imagine this: your full height turnstiles are doing their job perfectly controlling access, preventing tailgating, securing your perimeter. Then the fire alarm sounds. If those turnstiles don't unlock instantly, you've just turned a security solution into a life-threatening barrier. Em...

  When it comes to perimeter security, there’s no room for error. Protecting assets, people, and infrastructure from vehicle-borne threats is a growing priority for facility managers, security consultants, and organizations across the Middle East. One of the most trusted and effective methods for securing entry points, roadways, and high-risk areas is the installation of crash-rated bollards . These robust barriers offer protection from vehicle impacts, reduce the risk of damage, and enhance overall security. In this guide, we’ll dive into the importance of crash-rated bollards, the installation process, regional approvals, and cost considerations. Plus, we’ll answer key questions to ensure you’re making an informed decision for your next perimeter security project. What Are Crash-Rated Bollards and Why Are They Essential for Security? Crash-rated bollards are specially designed barriers built to withstand vehicle impacts of varying speeds and weights. They are tested under string...
