The invention relates to a security barrier (10, 40, 60, 82), and a method (100) of installation thereof, and in particular, although not exclusively, to the installation thereof to a bridge structure (70). The security barrier (10, 40, 60, 82) comprises a support (12 62, 72) having at least one upright barrier member (14, 64, 85) thereon. The support (12, 62, 72) is for positioning substantially at ground level (41, 69, 72) and has a portion that is substantially planar with a leading edge (29). The at least one barrier member (14, 64, 85) is at the leading edge (29) or adjacent to the leading edge (29). The portion is for receiving a covering (75) thereon for adding mass to the security barrier (10, 40, 60, 82) and for biasing it towards the ground level (41, 69, 72). Two adjacent security barriers (10, 40, 60, 82) can be secured to each other with a joining member (200) to connect two adjacent barrier members (14) of the two adjacent security barriers (10, 40, 60, 82). The barrier member (10, 40, 60, 82) and the joining member (200) are for inhibiting the passage of a vehicle in the event of an impact force therefrom being exerted on the at least one barrier member (14, 64, 85) and/or the joining member (200).

A ram-resistant bollard system for prevention of ingress of vehicles onto a sensitive area that will completely stop a 15000 lb. truck, travelling at 30 mph in less than 3.3 ft wherein the bollard system comprises an upright element inserted into a base-plate which is secured onto a foundation structure made from two H-beams each made from a one-piece extruded metal form, wherein the two H-beams are connected to each other via at least one lower connector plate, partially overlapping and connected to the flanges on the lower surface of both H-beams, and wherein the base-plate is positioned above the flanges of the upper surface of the two H-beams, so as to be to be partially overlapping and connected to the top side of both H-beams via a plurality of small rectangular connection plates that are orthogonally positioned between the base-plate and the flanges of the H-beams.

A vehicle barrier apparatus and corresponding methods include a base and a vehicle receiving member coupled to the base and having proximal and distal ends. Also included is a deployable element rotatably coupled to the base and coupled to the vehicle receiving member at a mechanical coupler located closer to the distal end than to the proximal end. The deployable element is configured to receive a transfer force, from the vehicle receiving member, via the mechanical coupler, responsive to the vehicle receiving member receiving an applied force from a vehicle at the proximal end. The deployable element configured to deploy from a stored orientation to a deployed orientation responsive to the transfer force. Accordingly, vehicle force can be transferred and used to deploy the device effectively in a self-triggered configuration without hazards of stored energy.

In an embodiment, a secure safe apparatus is provided. The apparatus comprises a base and a bollard. The bollard comprises a first portion and a second portion manufactured as a single vertical member. The first portion is of sufficient length to extend below a bottom surface of the base into ground at a site where the secure safe apparatus is set. The second portion is of sufficient length to extend through a thickness of the base and above a top surface of the base. The second portion is adapted to be inserted through an aperture in a floor of a safe and affixed to an interior beam manufactured within an inside of the safe to affix the second portion to the beam.

A device for preventing a drive off during a traffic stop that can be easily deployed by a police office to puncture the tire of the vehicle if it is driven off during the traffic stop. The device has a base support a plurality of spikes and a handle pivotally coupled to an end of the base and movable between a stowed position and a deployed position. The handle is telescopic so that is can be extended for easy deployment of the device by the officer. The handle may include a visual indicator and can be magnetic to attach to the side of the vehicle. The base may include a flexible cover positioned over the plurality of spikes.

The “POPPER” is a piece of equipment, made of a harden piece of metal. Each end has pointed spikes, roughly at a 45 degree angle. A handle is attached for easy placement and removal. They will penetrate the vehicles tire, If forward or backward movement is made, thus making the tire useless.
