Our counter terror planters provide an effective form of hostile vehicle mitigation while enhancing the appearance of public spaces. Designed as a hostile vehicle mitigation planter solution, they combine proven security performance with high-quality street furniture, making them ideal for locations where both safety and aesthetics are critical.
Discrete HVM Planters for High Profile and Pedestrian Areas
Part of our dedicated HVM planters range, these products are manufactured using reinforced concrete and robust internal structures. Each planter is tested to PAS 68 and capable of withstanding the impact of hostile vehicles, including truck threats, helping to reduce risk from deliberate attack scenarios linked to terrorist attacks.
Our counter terror planters are designed and supplied for use at high profile buildings, transport hubs, retail destinations, and busy market areas. They provide reliable protection for pedestrians while supporting the wider intent of modern counter terror design, creating safer environments without introducing overt barriers such as traditional bollards alone.
All units are installed at ground level and engineered to work as part of a wider hostile vehicle mitigation strategy. Tested to recognised standards such as PAS 68, these planters offer confidence that security measures are based on real-world performance and verified data.
Beyond security, counter terror planters play an important role in enhancing public realm design. A wide choice of finishes, materials, and planting options allows designers to create attractive layouts that help protect people while improving the overall look and feel of an area. Considerations such as planter width, spacing, and placement ensure a balance between vehicle restriction and pedestrian flow.
Whether used as a standalone solution or combined with bollards and other measures, our range of counter terror planters supports long-term safety in public spaces where the threat of hostile vehicles must be addressed discreetly and effectively.
