Marshalls Landscape Protection – member company of Secured by Design (SBD) – have launched Kirkos, the newest addition to their RhinoGuard® range.
Kirkos is an innovative street furniture collection, which provides a simple way of enhancing the environment whilst providing a level of protection.
RhinoGuard Kirkos
RhinoGuard Kirkos is manufactured in the UK and consists of five standard solutions which are designed around a protective bollard centrepiece. They are also available with bespoke configurations and colour options.
When incorporated with Marshalls’ SBD accredited bollards, Kirkos has the capability of stopping up to a 7.5 tonne vehicle travelling at up to 50mph.
The Marshalls SBD bollards are all tested in accordance to the relevant IWA14, PAS 68 or PAS 170 standard. They are available with a range of fixing options, foundation types and materials, from mild steel, stainless steel, Ferrocast and natural stone.
The RhinoGuard Kirkos seating and planter elements can also cover existing schemes to improve the aesthetics of any given space, creating areas where people want to relax and spend time.
“Keeping people safe not scared”
Marshalls prides itself on its combined expertise in paving, water management, traffic management and landscape protection, as well as support services to the construction, home improvement and landscape markets.
Jaz Vilkhu, Managing Director of Marshalls, remarked: “Our aim is to provide secure public spaces which do not look obtrusive, keeping people safe not scared, and this innovative street furniture collection provides a simple way of enhancing the environment whilst providing the appropriate level of protection required.”
Alfie Hosker, SBD Technical Officer, also commented: “This is yet another example of Marshalls innovation and continued development of their street furniture range to protect the local communities in which they are installed.”
“The addition of the Kirkos feature can assist with the aesthetics of the street scene, whilst continuing to offer robust protection from Hostile Vehicle Attack.”
