Defence Sectors
Robust & Rapid Security Solutions
With increasing threats from terrorism, hostile vehicles, and unauthorised access, defence organisations demand rapid-deployment, high-durability perimeter and site protection.
Our solutions deliver versatile, precast barrier systems trusted by MoD, critical infrastructure operators, and defence contractors.
Designed for quick deployment, modular scalability, and long-term resilience, these solutions strengthen security without requiring groundworks.
Key Benefits for Defence use
Immediate Deployment
Precast, modular barriers enable deployment without foundations—perfect for temporary bases, checkpoints, or evolving theatres of operation.
High-Impact & Blast Resistance
Made from 50 N/mm² high-strength concrete, these barriers withstand vehicle impact, environmental exposure, and deliver effective hostile vehicle mitigation (HVM).
Modularity & Flexibility
Interlocking systems (e.g., Jersey, TVCB, TTPBs) allow configuration adjustment as tactical situations evolve.
Proven Performance
Favoured across critical sectors including airports, power stations, and MoD premises for perimeter defence and traffic control.
Sustainable & Low-Maintenance
Reusable, frost- and fire-resistant, these units offer longevity with minimal upkeep. Compatible with rapid redeployment, aligning with climate-sensitive operations.
Product Choice for Defence Applications
Temporary Vertical Concrete Barriers (TVCBs)
Designed for fast deployment on roads, bases, or deployment zones, TVCBs provide immediate HVM and crowd/vehicle control. Available in various weights and lengths—from 1,465 kg to 2,500 kg—and include corner blocks for adaptive layouts.
Jersey & Jersey-Liteâ„¢ Barriers
Heavy-duty, interlocking systems delivering perimeter defence against vehicles. Standard Jersey barriers are 2,500 mm long, weighing 1,450 kg, while Jersey-Liteâ„¢ offers a lighter alternative (705 kg) for smaller needs or rapid repositioning. Compliant with EN 1317:2010.
Tank Trap Pyramid Barriers (TTPBs)
Featuring a modular, dragon’s-teeth design, these barriers are optimised to halt vehicle traversal through impalement of tyres. Available in single and triple pyramid units (760 kg to 2,500 kg), ideal for perimeter intrusion protection at high-value sites.
Security Blocks
Ranging from massive 2,400 kg Legatoâ„¢ blocks to smaller options like Duoâ„¢ and Marquee variants, these are ideal for blocking access points, reinforcing gates, and serving as mobile defensive installations. Can be customised with logos or Ministry of Transport chevrons for military branding or mission identification.
Bollards & Minion-Bollards®
Circular, freestanding 50 N/mm² concrete bollards offer cost-effective pedestrian and vehicle restriction. The unique Minion-Bollards® feature removable eyelets for signage, chains, and multi-use in fast-paced operations. Particularly suitable for vehicle checkpoint delineation or field camp layout.
Yarnold Bunkers
Fast to deploy, freestanding, compact fortified guard posts that are usually positioned near the perimeters of MOD stations and sensitive military zones, Yarnold Bunkers offer protection for the military against small-arms fire.
Blast Walls
Independently tested, Robust Legatoâ„¢ and Veeâ„¢ Blocks are specifically suited for blast protection and shielding in high-risk defence and security environments, demonstrating outstanding resilience under extreme conditions, making them ideal for applications where safety and containment are critical.
Training Compounds
Designed to meet the demanding training requirements of the Armed Forces in frontline operations in relation to managing explosives and firearms within overseas villages, buildings, forward operating bases, military compounds and secure installations.
