Bi-Steel barriers prove effective

As part of the Government’s efforts to protect crowded places from terrorist attack by car or truck bomb, the Home Office organised a demonstration of how anti-attack vehicle barriers can be used.

The demonstration consisted of a 7t truck being driven at speed towards a Corus Bi-Steel barrier. The result, a completely wrecked vehicle and a barrier with only a dent and a few scratches.

The test dramatically showed how barriers like this can provide highly effective protection from this form of terrorist threat.
