Certified Vehicle‑Impact Performance

This planter incorporates IWA‑certified CT50 bollards, tested to:

• 50 mph (80 km/h) test:
  IWA 14‑1:2013 V/7200/80/90:8.7

This classification confirms the system’s ability to withstand the impact of a 7,200 kg vehicle travelling at 50 mph, making it suitable for high‑risk environments such as civic squares, transport interchanges, retail districts, stadiums, and government sites.

Shallow‑Mount Installation

One of the standout benefits of the Victoria CT50 shallow‑mount model is its minimal foundation depth:

• Installation depth: 200–300 mm

This makes it ideal for locations where deeper foundations are impossible due to:

• Underground services
• Structural slabs
• Historic surfaces
• Reduced excavation allowances
• Fast construction programmes

Despite its shallow installation, the system maintains full IWA performance, enabling high‑security protection in constrained environments.

Premium Steel Construction

The planter is available in a range of durable steel options, allowing specifiers to achieve both security performance and architectural harmony:

• Powder‑coated mild steel
• Corten steel
• Brushed stainless steel
• Stainless steel profile
• Aluminium

Each unit is supplied with a galvanised mild steel liner, offering long‑term corrosion protection and supporting healthy planting conditions.

Bespoke sizing and RAL‑matched colours are available for enhanced design flexibility.
