Counter-terror and mobile vehicle barriers 2019

Last week the GPEC event took place for the third time at the Münsteraner crash test facility. Around 200 visitors, primarily decision-makers from federal authorities, cities and local authorities, were able to listen to specialist lecturers over the course of the two day event and also obtain information from the international exhibitors on the current possibilities on building and event safeguarduing. Included in the programm was also the implementation of four live crashes in order to test and demonstrate the effectiveness of vehicle safety barriers. Besides two Standard crash tests, Dipl. Ing. Ralf Bührmann (head of test department) and his team carried out two other crash tests. Firstly, by means of a semitrailer truck, the effectiveness of a trench as an alternative security concept was examined. Subsequently, test manager Ralf Bührmann personally demonstrated that a conventional transporter in the case of a collision with a HGV is not an alternative for a vehicle safety barrier.
