ATG helping to save the planet as well as the general public

ATG Access have successfully designed and launched a Shallow Mount bollard. This product not only offers PAS 68 rated protection, it also provides customers with a ‘Green Solution’ to their perimeter security needs.

Shallow Mount bollards were originally designed to combat the problematic fitting of traditional bollards which require deep foundations and can cause inconvenience when exposing a range of services, prohibiting installation.

Through meeting the brief to design and test a bollard system which required shallower foundations but still met a high security rating; ATG Access have developed a ‘greener solution’ for its customers.

During installation of this innovative Shallow Mount technology, disruption of habitats and tree roots is kept to a minimum. Less plant machinery is required on site to fit the product which in turn reduces pollution and noise. Fundamentally the Greener Solution uses a smaller amount of concrete, less than 25% of the concrete employed in a traditional foundation. This building material is responsible for 2% of UK Carbon Dioxide Emissions so it is vital that installers using this substance are mindful of this.

Working with a variety of trade partners internationally and nationally, ATG’s Shallow Mount bollards have already been frequently chosen above rival products. Some of the more prestigious projects which have seen the benefit of selecting the Shallow Mount technology have been; banks, airport terminals, railway stations, government buildings, embassy’s and finally sports stadiums.

ATG Access prides itself on innovation and quirky engineering. The company will endeavour to continue developing market leading products which meet a variety of perimeter security needs.
