Introduction
In today’s evolving security landscape, protecting infrastructure from hostile vehicle attacks is more critical than ever. Crash rated bollards serve as a crucial element in perimeter protection, helping safeguard government buildings, commercial sites, and sensitive zones across the UAE. Federaltec Technology specializes in deploying certified, high-impact resistant bollard systems tailored to local and international security standards.
What Are Crash Rated Bollards?
Crash rated bollards are specially engineered posts designed to withstand vehicular impacts. Unlike decorative or traffic bollards, these are tested under rigorous standards such as ASTM, PAS 68, and IWA-14 to ensure they can stop vehicles traveling at high speeds. The rating (e.g., K4, K12) determines how much impact the bollard can resist.
Federaltec provides solutions that are K4 to K12 certified, offering protection levels suitable for embassies, military bases, airports, commercial hubs, and critical infrastructure in the UAE.
