Our experience across live environments allows us to tailor Hostile Vehicle Mitigation to the realities of each sector, supporting proportionate protection that aligns with how a space operates and how people use it day to day.
Local authorities are increasingly responsible for protecting busy public spaces while maintaining openness, accessibility and visual quality. Town centres, civic areas and shared spaces often need protection that can adapt over time as layouts, usage and risk profiles change.
Pitagone supports councils in planning and deploying mobile HVM that fits within wider public realm strategies. Our systems allow authorities to introduce proportionate protection without committing to permanent infrastructure, while tools such as Protect-PA help teams assess exposure, test layouts and support internal decision making around Protect Duty responsibilities.
Events and festivals bring temporary increases in footfall, vehicle movements and risk, often within complex or rapidly changing environments. In these settings, HVM needs to be effective, quick to deploy and practical to manage alongside live operations.
Pitagone’s mobile HVM systems are well suited to temporary deployments, supporting controlled access, adaptable layouts and smooth arrivals and departures. We work with organisers and delivery partners to ensure mitigation measures are integrated into event planning rather than added at the last minute, helping protect audiences while preserving the flow and experience of the event.
Venues and stadia operate year round, often hosting a wide range of events with varying risk profiles. Protection measures need to work consistently across match days, concerts and non event days, without disrupting operations or public access.
Pitagone supports venue operators in implementing mobile and semi permanent HVM solutions that can be adjusted as requirements change. Our approach focuses on protecting key access points, managing vehicle interfaces and supporting a visible but reassuring security presence that aligns with wider operational planning.
Transport hubs and infrastructure sites face unique challenges due to high footfall, complex access routes and the need to maintain continuous operation. In these environments, HVM must integrate seamlessly with existing systems and allow for essential vehicle movement.
Pitagone works with transport operators and infrastructure stakeholders to deliver mobile HVM solutions that protect critical areas while supporting day to day functionality. Planning tools such as i-Protect can also support early stage assessment, helping teams understand exposure and design mitigation that aligns with operational constraints.
Consultants and planners play a key role in shaping how safety is designed into public spaces from an early stage. Increasingly, HVM considerations form part of broader discussions around layout, movement, accessibility and long term use.
Pitagone works collaboratively with consultants and planners, providing technical insight, planning support and certified systems that can be incorporated into wider designs. This early engagement helps ensure that vehicle mitigation is proportionate, integrated and aligned with both regulatory expectations and the character of the space.
