About A1 Alcazar Anti-Vehicle Rope Barrier

In today’s high security environment, a conventional fence alone may not be sufficient to stop determined intruders. While some fencing solutions can delay or deter climb attempts, they fall short when faced with the threat of forced vehicle entry. That’s where the A1 Alcazar Anti-Vehicle Rope Barrier (AVRB) stands apart — a simple yet powerful solution in the world of hostile vehicle mitigation (HVM) barriers.

A1’s Anti-Vehicle Rope Barrier is an M50 P1 crash rated barrier engineered to resist high-speed vehicle impact.This powerful solution acts as a shield against vehicular intrusion, doubling up with your existing fence throughout the perimeter. Built for performance, this vehicle crash barrier system is remarkably efficient, consisting of just four core components: post, cable, cable clamp, and clamp plate with nuts & bolts — making it one of the most modular vehicle barriers available today. Capable of stopping an oncoming vehicle weighing up to 6.8 tonnes, travelling at a speed of 50 mph within a penetration distance of 1m, A1 Alacazar Anti-Vehicle Rope Barrier is also SAIS Compliant.

This Anti-Vehicle Rope Barrier, proudly manufactured in the KSA, is a game-changer for critical sectors like Oil & Gas, Energy, Water, Power & Defence. Certified with ASTM F2656 M50 P1 our Anti-Vehicle Barrier demonstrates the capability to halt a 6.8-tonne vehicle traveling at 50mph within a penetration distance of less than 1m.

Features

Single-Rope Design

The hallmark of A1’s Anti-Vehicle Rope Barrier, this unique design simplifies installation and enhances performance. Unlike traditional anti ram cable barriers that rely on high-tension over long spans, our method of looping and clamping the rope around each post ensures zero sagging and low tension. The rope is clamped every 6 meters, enabling stable load transfer and making this vehicle impact barrier robust yet efficient.

Termination Every 30 Meters

Our hostile vehicle mitigation barrier is intelligently segmented — terminated every 30 meters to distribute horizontal impact evenly across posts at 6-meter intervals. Unlike other vehicle crash barrier systems where intermediate posts are non-load bearing, each post in AVRB plays an active role. This setup ensures minimal tension and eliminates the need for varied pole types. It also simplifies post-incident maintenance — only the damaged meter is replaced, not the entire run — a practical benefit for vehicle access control barriers.

Shallow Foundation Depth

Crash tested with a foundation depth of just 1.65 meters, this is among the shallowest in the crash rated barrier category. All posts are identical, requiring the same foundation, which eliminates foundation-type variation and accelerates installation. The shallow foundation also enables seamless pairing with our anti personnel fencing system.

Shared Foundation with Anti-Personnel Fence

The AVRB can be installed just 226 mm apart from A1 Akat® (a Class 2 APF), allowing both to share the same foundation every 6 meters. This not only saves perimeter space but also simplifies civil work — a distinct advantage for integrated vehicle security barrier and SAIS Barrier deployments.

Flexible Deployment

The rope-type construction allows natural flexibility for complex layouts, such as tight corners, stepped terrains, or curves, without any need for design customisation. This makes it ideal for projects requiring agile vehicle entrance barriers or vehicle wedge barriers without escalating costs.

Quick & Easy Installation

With uniform posts, shallow foundations, minimal components, and smart termination, the AVRB ensures fast deployment. It’s a practical solution for those seeking anti ram vehicle barriers or hostile vehicle mitigation HVM barriers that are both effective and efficient.

What makes our Anti-Vehicle Rope Barrier better than the others?

Our Anti-Vehicle Barrier surpasses others with a successful M50-P1 crash rating, ensuring top-tier impact resistance.

The unique single rope design, featuring a thick rope, sets us apart as the sole company to pass the crash test with such simplicity and efficiency.

Termination at every 30 meter guarantees consistent and controlled installation, distributing loads evenly across all posts, a feature absent in many other systems.

The barrier's common foundation requirement for all posts simplifies installation, offering a standardized approach to deployment.

With the shallowest foundation depth in the industry at 1.65 meters, our barrier saves space and seamlessly integrates with Anti-Personnel Fence (APF) systems.

The system comprises only four major components, including post, cable, cable clamp, and clamp plate with nuts & bolts, ensuring uncomplicated shipping, inventory management, and transportation.

A clamping system every six meters on every post eliminates sagging and minimizes tension, contributing to long-term durability and reduced maintenance.

The robust wire/rope design, combined with termination every 30 meters, facilitates easy replacements and diminishes the need for extensive rework in case of accidents.

The barrier's longevity is guaranteed by post-fabrication hot-dip galvanization, preserving both its structural integrity and aesthetic appeal throughout the years.

In summary, our Anti-Vehicle Barrier excels in crash resistance, simplicity of design, standardized installation, and long-term durability, making it the superior choice in the market.
