Buildings that are of special architectural and historic interest are deemed to be 'iconic buildings' and span the centuries from ancient monuments, to the most awe inspiring structures of today. When in the public domain they are home to some of the world's greatest museums and art galleries and attract visitors in large numbers to share in their cultural interests making them an attractive target for terrorism.
Some of the world’s most iconic buildings are home to valuable art collections and historic artifacts and form the basis of a nation’s culture and history.
Palaces are the homes of both past and present monarchs and their courts and where history has been made. Palaces have witnessed many of the defining moments of our nation’s history.
These iconic buildings whether in the public domain or private residents form part of a nation’s identity and where these buildings are in the public realm or tourist attractions, they become iconic symbols that are attractive to terrorist activities.
By identifying the threats that your venue may be exposed to, highlights your vulnerabilities and helps to prioritise the measures to be put in place for protection and whilst it is impossible to absolutely eliminate the threat, measures can be put in place to reduce the risk or limit the damage caused by an attack.
Priorities for protection
Physical security is high on the priority list when implementing counter terrorism measures.
Robust access control systems give clear boundaries between private and public areas. Screening, searching and regular patrolling of the venue is a good deterrent.
Vehicles should be deterred from the main event area. A vehicle laden with an explosive will have the most devastating effect if detonated alongside a building or driven into a crowded venue.
Our products include static, fixed or removable bollards, retractable bollards, sliding gates, turnstiles, rising arm barriers & road blockers with a variety of security levels from controlling access to parking spaces to protecting iconic buildings from a vehicle borne terrorist attack.
