foundation depths may be limited due to underground services, HVM rising bollards are available with shallow foundation depths, plus road blockers with shallow or surface mount alternatives. With LPS1175 and Secured by Design
Gates, it is important that the gate mechanism, locking, hinges, and the gate infill are tested to the standard. Many options have been tested to LPS1175, such as a bi-folding gate with overhead guidance, designed for underground car parks. Alongside the tested mechanisms, there are also a variety of security rated infills for architects to choose from.

physical security specification across many sectors. The standard comprises several security ratings with test requirements of ascending intensity; these are measured in terms of attack tools and time available to the attacker, and enable specifiers to select products according to the specific risks that their property faces. LPS1175 can be used in a range of applications, including critical infrastructure projects. The correct specification of security products and systems is critical in protecting people and property from losses associated with crime and terrorism.

Faster, safer, building evacuations
Fire and life safety systems manufacturer, Advanced, has extended its emergency lighting range with Dynamic Safety Signage (DSS) – proven to make building evacuations faster and safer. In emergency situations, lack of information and confusion mean people often make poor decisions. DSS uses green moving and pulsing LED arrows to clearly indicate safe exits and red LED crosses to boldly show no-go areas. This distinctive indication supports effective escape and avoids congestion at exits. DSS is ideal for settings where large numbers of people may be unfamiliar with emergency escape routes, e.g. university campuses, hospitals, stadiums and transport hubs. The new range of signage provides different tiers of functionality making it very versatile in meeting requirements across a wide range of sites and scenarios. The lighting can be used standalone or integrated with conventional/addressable fi re alarm panels to trigger emergency lighting if an incident occurs. Cause and effect can be programmed, allowing DSS to be used adaptively. This ensures that as evacuation situations evolve, only the safest escape routes are highlighted.
