Keeping shoppers safe

A-Safe bollards are proving a success in the car parks of Bluewater - one of Britain's busiest shopping centres in Greenhithe, Kent. They were specified by Vita Lend Lease who maintain the centre's public access car parks which are around 200 acres in size and incorporate 13,000 parking spaces.

Naturally, public safety is of the utmost importance in an environment like this, but a balance must also be struck with cost effectiveness. A-Safe's 750mm high bollards, which are now installed throughout the shopping centre's car parks were chosen because they are competitively priced, easy to install, highly visible and said to be more cost effective than the previous system.
