Heald Synergy Ultra Shallow Mount Bollard Crash Test

Heald Limited Stand: D120
A game-changer for both UK and international security, Heald’s Synergy Ultra Shallow Mount Bollard System is the only product of its type to be crash tested to IWA-14 standards against an 18-tonner N3C Vehicle travelling at 30mph at a 30-degree impact angle. 

Its unique interlocking design provides shared distribution of the load, while patent applied technology offers additional protection by anchoring the bollards into the ground upon impact, preventing the vehicle from penetrating the area the bollards are protecting. The product was crash tested with an array of nine interconnected bollards, with the design allowing for additional bollards to be added to expand the area being protected. 

While the product has been launched to address the challenges specifically faced in protecting bridges, it is also ideal for any locations where excavation or even bolting to the ground is not possible. Instead, the product is laid flush with the ground before paving stones or tarmac cover over the base plates. It requires no excavation and can be installed in just 45 minutes, excluding civil works. 

Commenting on the launch, Managing Director, Debbie Heald MBE said: “We are absolutely thrilled to have achieved this rating for a completely surface mounted non-fixed solution. The potential for this product is huge for a wide range of uses and we look forward to further developments. Heald is again proud to be innovating to help protect our world”. 

 The firm, which invests significantly in research and development, has brought to market several innovative, patent-protected security products including the Matador, the world’s only sliding bollard system which can be found protecting sites such as; Beale Street, Memphis, the French Quarter, New Orleans, Oslo Airport, Norway and many government buildings throughout the UK and Australia.
