Certifi ed Security Bollards from Hörmann H


örmann UK is reinforcing its commitment to public safety and infrastructure resilience with a range


of certifi ed high-security bollards designed to meet the stringent requirements of public sector and local government environments. The range has been engineered specifi cally to protect people, buildings and critical infrastructure from unauthorised vehicle access while supporting the operational needs of modern public spaces.


Central to their suitability for government and public projects is their compliance with recognised international impact resistance standards. All bollards within the Hörmann High Security Line are crash- tested and certifi ed to PAS 68 and IWA 14-1, demonstrating proven performance against high-speed vehicle impacts of 30 mph and 50 mph using a 7,200 kg vehicle. This level of certifi cation provides specifi ers, planners and security consultants with confi dence that the products meet the requirements for high-risk and sensitive locations. Alongside their certifi ed impact resistance, Hörmann bollards are designed to offer


fl exibility in deployment across a wide range of public spaces and infrastructure projects. Fixed, removable, semi-automatic and fully automatic options provide a balance between permanent protection with the need for


controlled access for


emergency services, deliveries or temporary events. This adaptability supports effective traffi c management without compromising security credentials.


Durability and long-term performance


are also a key consideration, with Hörmann bollards being manufactured using corrosion- resistant materials and robust construction methods, helping to reduce costs through low maintenance requirements and extended

within regeneration schemes and shared public spaces.


implemented Hörmann bollards are


designed to integrate discreetly into the urban landscape, allowing certifi ed security measures


without


detracting from the visual and architectural quality of the surroundings. With decades of experience delivering industrial and commercial access solutions, Hörmann UK brings together German engineering


expertise and local technical support to meet the complex needs of public sector clients. Its certifi ed security bollards are already trusted across Europe, providing local authorities and government bodies with a proven, compliant and future-ready solution for perimeter protection.

Advanced launches SmokeGo: Complete smoke control made simple


A and


dvanced has introduced SmokeGo, its powerful new smoke control panel designed to offer complete and active smoke management through the fi re system, without the complexity. Developed to give specifi ers, end-users


installers, a smarter, more intuitive


way to achieve smoke control in a wide range of buildings, it is designed to make smoke control simpler,


Integrating faster and fully


compliant. From dedicated to non-dedicated smoke control systems, SmokeGo makes confi guration and operation quicker, clearer and easier.


seamlessly with


Advanced’s next-generation MxPro 5 fi re panels, SmokeGo allows precise control over smoke fans and dampers, both automatically and manually. Thanks to Advanced’s unique four-step


confi guration process and matrix-based programming, even complex setups can be completed in a fraction of the time traditionally required,


replacing complex


coding (programming). Ideal for projects of all sizes, SmokeGo features built-in compatibility for up to 15 fan and damper switch cards per P-Bus and can scale further via the Advanced PENN (peripheral expansion network node module) or additional panels. SmokeGo supports the control of up to six individual fans and dampers per switch card, offering extensive fl exibility for manual override and smoke compartment management. Giving users complete confi dence in performance and compliance,


SmokeGo meets the highest industry standards, with


approvals to EN54 Parts 2 and 4, and full compliance with ISO 21927-9 and BS 7346-8. Advanced’s software wizard handles the confi guration of inputs and outputs, pre-allocating I/O modules for fan and damper control and automatically applying the necessary feedback delays. Combined with easy cause and effect programming, SmokeGo removes the need for specialist coding (programming),


making commissioning


faster and more straightforward. Additional features include cascade mode for managing smoke spread across compartments, post-alarm purge functions and interlocks to ensure dampers are open before fans activate, helping to prevent over- pressurisation


of ducts. Automatic testing


can also be scheduled, meeting regulatory requirements while reducing engineer callouts and operational disruption.
