London Stadium considers anti-terrorist protection
A HVM system is a generic term that covers a suite of anti-terrorist protective measures that are often employed around buildings or publicly accessible spaces/venues of particular significance.
The design of these vehicle security barriers and landscape treatments came about as security authorities across the globe seek to mitigate the effects of vehicle borne improvised explosive devices against key iconic buildings.
In minutes recently released by the London Stadium Safety Advisory Group (LS-SAG) reveal that the London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC) confirmed that a HVM plan is still in draft form and they are consulting with stadium operators LS185 who they also own.
At the last December meeting the LLDC said they are currently reviewing the business case and will have a more substantial update at the next SAG in February.
