Shopping Malls

Understanding the threat

Crowded places are a likely target for a planned terrorist attack, they offer an opportunity for mass fatalities, casualties and high profile global press coverage.

The threat to crowded places

Crowded shopping centers and malls, designed for accessibility with wide entrances and convenient parking, can present opportunities for hostile vehicle attacks.

Risk Management

A security risk assessment involves identifying threats, protecting vulnerabilities, implementing risk-reduction measures, and regularly reviewing and practicing security plans, creating an effective risk management cycle.

At risk from a vehicle bomb

To mitigate vehicle bomb risks, maintain a 30-meter safe distance for vehicles. Use impact-tested bollards and security barriers, especially at entrances and service areas, and avoid allowing unchecked vehicles to park in underground areas beneath public spaces to prevent structural risks.

Products

Our products include road blockers, sliding gates, bollards, rising arm barriers & turnstiles with a variety of security levels from controlling access to parking spaces to protecting critical infrastructure from a vehicle borne terrorist attack.
