Surface mounted security solutions are a vital aspect of perimeter protection, providing robust defence in areas where traditional foundations aren’t feasible. At Ezi Security, we understand that effective security combines strength and adaptability. Surface mounted systems deliver all these benefits, ensuring safety without invasive installation methods.

What Are Surface Mounted Security Systems?

Surface mounted security systems are designed for scenarios where ground penetration isn’t possible due to factors like underground utilities or suspended slabs. These solutions offer the same high levels of protection as traditional systems but can be deployed quickly and removed as required. They’re widely used in areas requiring flexible security.

Types of Surface Mounted Products

Ezi Security offers a range of surface mounted solutions designed to suit a variety of applications and security needs. Each product is engineered to deliver exceptional performance while minimising disruption. Common types of surface mounted security products include:

Crash Barriers and Blocks

Freestanding crash barriers like the Crash Block 50 provide high-impact protection for all areas. These systems are ideal for stopping unauthorised vehicles without the need for permanent fixtures.

Planter Bollards

Combining security with urban aesthetics, planter bollards like our Surface Mounted Planter 40 provide a dual-purpose solution that integrates seamlessly into public areas. These bollards offer effective vehicle mitigation while enhancing the visual appeal of spaces like parks and plazas.

Mobile Hostile Vehicle Barriers

Mobile barriers are designed for rapid deployment, offering flexibility for events or emergencies. They’re easy to transport, install and adapt to changing security needs.

Combination Seating and Barriers

Innovative solutions like crash block seating offer a blend of functionality and security. These designs serve as street furniture while delivering robust vehicle protection, making them a great choice for urban spaces.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a surface-mounted security system?

A surface-mounted security system is installed above ground rather than requiring deep foundations or excavation. It is used where strong perimeter protection is needed but ground penetration is not practical, such as sites with underground services, suspended slabs or temporary access requirements.

Depending on the site, surface-mounted options may include products such as the H Stop® HVM Barrier, Crash Block 30, Crash Block 40, Crash Block 50 or Surface Mount Planter 40.

When should surface-mounted barriers be used instead of in-ground products?

Surface-mounted barriers should be used when excavation, drilling or deep foundations are not suitable. They are often chosen for sites with underground services, suspended slabs, existing pavement, leased areas, public spaces or temporary security requirements.

Products such as the H Stop® HVM Barrier and Crash Block 50 can provide surface-mounted protection without the same level of ground works required for traditional in-ground systems.

Are surface-mounted security products suitable where excavation is not possible?

Yes. Surface-mounted security products are designed for locations where excavation is not possible or would cause too much disruption. They can be useful where underground utilities, structural slabs, finished pavements or site restrictions make in-ground installation unsuitable.

For example, the H Stop® HVM Barrier is designed for rapid deployment with no fixtures or fittings, while Crash Block 30, Crash Block 40 and Crash Block 50 can be used where freestanding surface-mounted protection is required.

Can surface-mounted systems be used on suspended slabs or areas with underground services?

Yes. Surface-mounted systems can be suitable for suspended slabs and areas with underground utilities where traditional foundations are not feasible. The right product should be selected based on the slab, surface condition, vehicle risk and required level of protection.

Options such as Surface Mount Planter 40, Crash Bench 40 and METIS-E / Surface-Mount Bollards may be considered depending on the site surface, layout and access requirements.

Are surface-mounted barriers temporary or permanent?

Surface-mounted barriers can be used for both temporary and long-term applications. The right option depends on the site, risk level, access requirements and whether the system needs to be removed, relocated or left in place for ongoing protection.

Products such as the H Stop® HVM Barrier and CLAW Mobile Hostile Vehicle Barrier may suit temporary or flexible deployments, while Crash Block 50 or Surface Mount Planter 40 may be suitable for longer-term surface-mounted protection.

Can surface-mounted products be removed or relocated?

Yes. Many surface-mounted products can be deployed, removed or relocated to suit changing site requirements. This can be useful for events, temporary road closures, public spaces or sites where access routes may change over time.

For example, the H Stop® HVM Barrier is suited to rapid deployment and reconfiguration, while CLAW Mobile Hostile Vehicle Barrier can be used for short-term events or flexible public safety applications.

Are surface-mounted barriers crash tested?

Some surface-mounted barriers are crash tested, depending on the product. The selected system should match the required protection level, vehicle risk, site conditions and tested impact rating where HVM protection is required.

Products such as the H Stop® HVM Barrier, Crash Block 50, Crash Block 30, Crash Block 40, Crash Bench 40 and Surface Mount Planter 40 are examples of surface-mounted products that may be considered where crash-rated protection is required.

What types of products are available as surface-mounted security solutions?

Surface-mounted security solutions can include crash blocks, crash barriers, planter bollards, mobile HVM barriers, temporary barriers, surface-mounted bollards and combination seating barriers. These options allow protection to be matched to the site’s layout, access needs and presentation requirements.

Ezi Security examples include the H Stop® HVM Barrier, Crash Block 30, Crash Block 40, Crash Block 50, Crash Bench 40, Surface Mount Planter 40, Benders Surface Mounted Planter Box, Benders Super Ellipse, CLAW Mobile Hostile Vehicle Barrier and METIS-E / Surface-Mount Bollards.

Can surface-mounted planters or seating improve the look of a public space?

Yes. Surface-mounted planters and seating can provide vehicle mitigation while improving the appearance and usability of public spaces. They can help protect pedestrian areas while still supporting planting, seating, streetscape design and public amenity.

Products such as Surface Mount Planter 40, Benders Surface Mounted Planter Box, Crash Bench 40 and Benders Super Ellipse can help integrate protection into public spaces without making the area feel overly restricted.

Are surface-mounted systems suitable for events, public spaces and critical infrastructure?

Yes. Surface-mounted systems can be used for events, urban spaces, temporary installations and critical infrastructure where flexible protection is needed. They are useful where excavation is not practical, access routes may change or protection needs to be installed without major ground works.

For events and public spaces, products such as the H Stop® HVM Barrier, CLAW Mobile Hostile Vehicle Barrier, Crash Bench 40 and Surface Mount Planter 40 may be suitable. For more controlled or infrastructure-focused applications, options such as METIS-E / Surface-Mount Bollards may be considered depending on the required protection level and site conditions.
