Surface mount security barrier
The invention relates to a surface mount security barrier 10 and a method of making the same. The security barrier comprises a non-metallic matrix 14 supporting and substantially encapsulating metal ballast (18 figure 2a). The security barrier has a mass in excess of 6 tonnes and a ratio of metal ballast to non-metallic matrix in excess of 2:1 by mass. The non metallic matrix may comprise concrete 14. The security barrier may have a bottom face 22 and a top face 20 wherein the metallic ballast comprises a first layer 18 of one or more pieces of metallic ballast located between the top and bottom faces. The steel blocks may be surrounded by a rebar cage (24 figure 2a) that extends below, above and around the array of steel blocks. The matrix preferably extends between the pieces of metallic ballast, isolating them from one another. The barrier may have at least one lifting point embedded in the barrier. A method of manufacturing such a security barrier is also provided.
