Modular Flex Planters FAQs

What is the HVM Flex Planter System?
It's a fully custom, modular planter solution that integrates PAS 68 Counter Terror Blocks into landscaped public spaces, combining certified vehicle impact resistance with a refined, planted streetscape.
What materials are modular flex planters made from?
Powder-coated mild steel or Corten steel. Mild steel suits most applications with straightforward maintenance, while Corten offers a distinctive weathered aesthetic that evolves over time with superior corrosion resistance.
What speed ratings is the system certified to?
PAS 68:2010 certification at both 30mph and 40mph impact speeds, tested and approved for single and staggered Counter Terror Block configurations.
Can the planter walls be configured to fit an irregular site layout?
Yes. The system offers straight or curved corner configurations, with standard or fully customised dimensions, so it can be scaled and shaped to fit tight urban constraints or expansive plaza installations.
How deep is the installation for a modular flex planter?
The system requires 100mm installation depth, allowing it to integrate efficiently into existing streetscapes without extensive groundworks.
What's the minimum height of the planter walls?
A minimum height of 600mm is required to fully cover the integrated Counter Terror Blocks.
Can a modular flex planter scheme be expanded or altered later?
Yes. The modular approach allows installations to be scaled incrementally and layouts adapted as site needs evolve, without redesigning the whole scheme.
Is the HVM Flex Planter System suitable for retaining wall or seating applications?
Yes. The range includes LINEAR retaining wall planter/seat variants in mild steel, premium aluminium and Corten steel, for sites where a combined seating and security feature is needed.
What sites is the system typically specified for?
Civic plazas, town centres, shopping districts and sensitive facilities, anywhere certified vehicle protection needs to be integrated into a landscaped public realm scheme rather than presented as visible fortification.
Can I get a custom design for my project?
Yes. Townscape's team works with architects, landscape designers and planners to specify wall configurations, material finishes and planting schemes tailored to the site. Contact the sales team for detailed specifications and design consultation.
