Merseyside-based ATG Access (www.atgaccess.com), which makes bollards, road blockers and vehicle barrier systems, has expanded its footprint in Singapore after completing a series of security projects there.

The company has been exporting perimeter security equipment to the Singapore market for nearly 10 years, with the latest project helping to make its elite shopping street — Orchard Road — more secure.

This involved a few challenges, particularly as an underground canal meant that there was limited installation depth for any security measures.

ATG’s shallow-mount security bollards were used, having been designed with a foundation requirement of just 176mm.

The Orchard Road project comes shortly after ATG completed work to secure the Mapletree Business City in Singapore, and it has recently undertaken contracts to protect the American Club and Jurong Island.

ATG has recently celebrated 10 years of global success and has signed partnerships with three new global partners as part of its ambitious growth plans to expand further internationally.

Sales and marketing director Gavin Hepburn said: “Singapore is currently investing heavily in protecting its national infrastructure and key urban areas, in light of the global security threat. We’ve been working there for a number of years, and it has now become one of our main exporting areas.”
