ATG HVM Bollards approved by SIRA (UAE)
Crash-tested perimeter security engineered by ATG Access and supported locally in the UAE and approved by SIRA — from design and approvals through installation, commissioning, and annual maintenance. See our SIRA Crash Ratings Explained for UAE context and model selection.
Important: This page is a general overview. Where SIRA applies, a project-specific Method Statement & Risk Assessment (MS/RA) is prepared and submitted for approval before works start. Authority/landlord permits are followed for every site.

Crash Ratings — Quick Guide
ASTM F2656: M30/M40/M50 with P-ratings (penetration). IWA 14-1: vehicle type, mass & speed (e.g., 7,200 kg @ 80 kph). PAS 68: legacy UK format (e.g., 7,500 kg @ 80 kph).
Foundations & Utilities (Summary)
- Depths: standard vs. shallow/super-shallow vs. surface-mount (model dependent).
- Drainage: pit drainage/sumps; local dewatering during installation as required.
- MEP: power, control ducting to panels; PLC/SCADA and access-control integration.
- Footprints: clear stand-off, safety devices, and maintenance access zones.

FAQs
What delivery lead times should we expect?
Typical ranges vary by model and finish. For UAE projects, allow time for approvals, civils, and utilities coordination. Request a live schedule during the site assessment.
Can we install shallow-mount where services are dense?
Yes — shallow/super-shallow arrays are designed for reduced depths. A services scan and civil review will confirm final feasibility and spacing.
What happens on power failure?
Systems fail-secure or to a defined safe state per design. Manual hand pumps and UPS/EFO options are available; agree fail-state logic at design stage.
Which finishes are available?
Stainless steel (e.g., 316), powder-coated RALs, or decorative sleeves. LED lids and beacons/sounders can be added for visibility and safety.
Do you provide maintenance?
Yes — annual maintenance contracts (AMC) with scheduled inspections, lubrication, calibration, and parts replacement as required.
