Concrete HVM Planters

Concrete HVM planters provide an effective way to protect vulnerable public spaces without creating an overtly defensive environment. Designed and tested to withstand hostile vehicle attacks, these security planters deliver certified hostile vehicle mitigation (HVM) while contributing to attractive, welcoming streetscapes.

Unlike conventional concrete planters, HVM planters are engineered as part of a vehicle security strategy. They are ideal for protecting pedestrianised areas, public squares, transport hubs, retail destinations, government buildings and other locations where public safety is a priority.

Our range of concrete HVM planters combines proven impact performance with high-quality architectural concrete, allowing landscape architects, security consultants and local authorities to integrate security measures seamlessly into the public realm.

Certified Hostile Vehicle Mitigation

Where security is critical, certified performance matters. Our concrete HVM planters are available with independently tested impact ratings, including PAS 68 solutions, providing confidence that your security measures have been proven under rigorous testing conditions.

By incorporating planting into certified security products, you can reduce the visual impact often associated with traditional barriers while maintaining the level of protection required for high-profile or high-risk sites.

Security That Complements the Public Realm

Effective hostile vehicle mitigation should enhance, not detract from, the surrounding environment. Concrete HVM planters create attractive green spaces whilst helping define pedestrian areas, manage vehicle access and improve the overall appearance of urban environments.

Whether installed individually or as part of a wider HVM scheme incorporating security bollards, blocks or access control, concrete security planters help create safer spaces without compromising on design.

Designed for Architects, Consultants and Local Authorities

Our HVM planters are specified across a wide range of public realm projects, including:

• Town and city centres
• Public squares
• Civic buildings
• Stadiums and arenas
• Transport interchanges
• Universities
• Healthcare facilities
• Commercial developments
• Critical national infrastructure

Our experienced team can advise on selecting the appropriate hostile vehicle mitigation solution to meet both security requirements and project aesthetics.

Durable Concrete Construction

Manufactured from high-quality reinforced concrete, our HVM planters are designed to withstand the demands of busy public environments. Their robust construction provides long-term durability with minimal maintenance, making them a practical investment for permanent security installations.

Alongside their security credentials, they also provide generous planting capacity, helping soften hard landscapes and contribute to biodiversity within urban spaces.
