Expertise backed by experience

With decades of combined experience in precast concrete manufacturing, Elite Precast Concrete has built up a reputation for quality, flexibility and innovation.

Tailored solutions

Recognising that no two sites are exactly the same, we help specifiers and clients adapt standard products or develop bespoke solutions, according to Owen Batham, Sales & Marketing Director for Elite Precast Concrete — whether it’s custom height bollards, special finishes, branded barriers or accelerated delivery for urgent deployments, we can help.

Why perimeter security matters

Whether it’s a busy pedestrian plaza, a corporate headquarters, an event venue or a public transport interchange, the need to manage access, deter unauthorised vehicle entry and protect assets is clear. Poorly secured perimeters can lead to everything from vehicle incursions, vandalism or unauthorised access — all of which carry safety, reputational and financial risk.

By installing correctly designed, high-strength solutions from Elite Precast Concrete, you’re setting a clear physical and visual boundary. It signals “this area is controlled”, and helps to ensure that people, vehicles or materials only enter under the right conditions.

All-round service

From design guidance (including lifting and installation data information) and logistics to next-day delivery of many units, we ensure your barrier or bollard installation is smooth and effective.

Cost-effective protection
While the upfront investment is important, the long-term value of high-strength precast assets is significant: minimal maintenance, long lifespan and reduced risk exposure. Our customers often cite how the reliability and service speed helped keep projects on schedule.

How to Choose the Right Solution for Your Site

When thinking about barrier and bollard installation, Owen suggests considering the following:

Site risk profile
Is it pedestrian-only? Does vehicle access need controlling? Are there recognised threats of vehicle intrusion?

Traffic flow and access needs
Do you still need to allow certain vehicles (emergency, service) while restricting others?

Visual and urban design context
Bollards and barriers should integrate with the surrounding environment, not look like an afterthought.

Installation and logistics
Consider ground conditions, site access, lifting requirements and future flexibility (e.g., repositionable units).

Maintenance and lifecycle
Select materials that require minimal upkeep but deliver long-term performance, such as concrete.

Elite’s team can work through all of these with you, helping select the optimal product — whether that’s a standard concrete bollard, our playful-yet-robust Minion-Bollards®, or a full interlocking barrier system.

Securing the Future — One Barrier at a Time

In a fast-moving security landscape, the physical infrastructure you choose today needs to be future proof. Whether you are safeguarding a civilian space, an event, a high-security facility or a public realm area, you need solutions that deliver:

Visible deterrence
When someone sees well-positioned barriers or bollards, they immediately realise access is controlled.

Proven performance
Using materials and designs with the strength and durability to resist misuse or attack.

Adaptability and longevity
Products that stay relevant and usable as the site evolves.

Peace of mind
Knowing that the groundwork is done, so you can focus on your core business.

With Elite Precast Concrete’s security barrier and bollard systems, you’re investing in more than just concrete: you’re investing in a safer, better-protected space.

Key Solutions from Elite Precast Concrete

Concrete Bollards

Elite’s standard bollards and Minion-Bollards are cast from high-strength concrete and designed to withstand severe impacts and unauthorised vehicle incursions.

Why they’re effective:

  • Strength and durability: The use of 50 N/mm² concrete means exceptional resistance to collision and vandalism.
  • Low maintenance: Unlike many metal alternatives, concrete bollards are inherently long-lasting, weather-resistant and require less upkeep.
  • Versatility of application: Ideal for vehicle traffic management (e.g., preventing illegal parking or rogue vehicle use) and also for protecting pedestrians in zones where vehicle encroachment is a risk.
  • Visual clarity: Their presence clearly demarcates pedestrian zones and restricted areas — a passive but highly visible deterrent.
  • Customisation: They can be painted or fitted with reflective strips, signage or integrated into wider traffic management schemes.

Applications

  • Along busy footways or pedestrian precincts to prevent vehicle crossover.
  • At the entrance to shopping centres, airports or train stations to control vehicle access.
  • In car parks or corporate campuses to manage traffic flow and channel vehicles.
Jersey Barriers

Elite’s interlocking concrete safety/security barriers (sometimes known as “Jersey barriers”) are designed to protect perimeters from vehicle attack or intrusion.

Key features include:

  • Heavy weight and interlocking design: The units (e.g., 1450 kg for one product) are designed to resist powerful vehicle impact.
  • Rapid deployment and repositioning: Designed for efficient installation and the possibility of re-positioning, as site needs evolve.
  • Multiple use scenarios: Including traffic management, flood defence, site security and rockfall protection.
  • Quality manufacture: Cast from high-strength concrete (50 N/mm²) and available with custom finishes or branding.

Applications

  • Protecting high-security sites (utilities, data centres, government buildings) from unauthorised vehicular access.
  • Site perimeters during construction or redevelopment where vehicle control is essential.
  • Public event venues or pop-up installations needing a robust physical barrier.
