Hostile Vehicle Mitigation
(HVM) Solutions
At ALLUM, we specialise in the installation and integration of Hostile Vehicle Mitigation (HVM) systems designed to protect people, property, and critical infrastructure from vehicle-borne threats.
We work with leading manufacturers including SafetyFlex, Frontier Pitts, and Eagle Automation, installing a wide range of physical security solutions such as:
-
Automated sliding and bi-fold gates
-
Road blockers and rising bollards
-
Barriers and perimeter protection systems
​
These systems are independently tested and certified to recognised industry standards such as PAS 68, IWA 14-1 and ISO 22343, depending on the product type and manufacturer.
​
Professional Installation – Delivered to Specification
Every installation is carried out in accordance with manufacturer specifications and tested configurations, ensuring that systems perform as intended within their designed parameters.
Where applicable, installations are completed to maintain “as rated” performance, meaning the system is installed in line with the conditions under which it was originally impact tested.
This includes consideration of:
-
System dimensions and clear spans
-
Foundation and ground conditions
-
Product configuration and layout
-
Integration with surrounding structures
Our Role as Installer & Integrator
ALLUM acts as a specialist installer and integrator of HVM systems.
We do not manufacture these products. Performance ratings (including vehicle classification, impact speed and penetration levels) are defined by the original manufacturer and are available within technical documentation upon request.
​
Compliance & Industry Alignment
Our installations are delivered in line with current industry guidance and best practice, including alignment with:
-
National Protective Security Authority (NPSA) guidance
-
Manufacturer installation requirements
-
Relevant impact testing standards
We are committed to ensuring that all systems are installed safely, correctly, and transparently, giving our clients confidence in both performance and compliance.
​​
End-to-End Project Delivery
In addition to installation, ALLUM can manage the full delivery of HVM projects from initial site assessment through to final commissioning.
This includes coordination and delivery of all associated works such as:
-
Groundworks and civil engineering
-
Foundations and structural preparation
-
Service ducting and power provision
-
Installation and system integration
All works are carried out in accordance with manufacturer specifications and project requirements to ensure systems are installed correctly and perform as intended.
