In a sign that anti-terrorism design is now part of the main-stream, a UK company that makes anti-ram bollards out of a patented material dubbed “spring steel” was named Britain’s most innovative company (click here to see article).    The firm – Safetyflex – makes a range of anti-ram bollards, fences, and street furniture that are rated to the PAS68 standard (this is the UK rating system akin to the US ASTM 2656).   Click here for more information on Safetyflex.

The world of anti-ram barriers has expanded dramatically since 2001, and there are a host of standards, ratings, certified lists, etc.    Stone has written a white paper to help security professionals, architects, and builders navigate through the information.   Stone White Paper.
