Tank Trap Pyramid Barriers for Perimeter Defence
Rapidly Secure Data Centre Boundaries
Tank Trap Pyramid Barriers (TTPBs), commonly known as Dragon's Teeth, provide a highly effective solution for perimeter defence in data centres and critical infrastructure environments. Designed to counter vehicle-based threats, these precast concrete units enable rapid, reliable, and scalable site protection without the need for complex groundworks.
What Are Tank Trap Pyramid Barriers (TTPBs / Dragon's Teeth)?
In modern data centre developments, protecting the perimeter from unauthorised access is critical. TTPBs are engineered to:
Prevent vehicle intrusion by obstructing undercarriages
Deter hostile vehicle attacks through robust physical presence
Control access points and guide traffic flow
Their modular design allows operators to quickly establish secure perimeters, reducing vulnerability during construction phases or operational changes.
Designed for Hostile Vehicle Mitigation (HVM)
TTPBs play a key role in hostile vehicle mitigation strategies, offering a passive yet highly effective barrier system. When installed in formation, they create continuous defensive lines, limit vehicle speed and manoeuvrability, and provide layered security when used alongside fencing or bollards. This makes them ideal for protecting high-value, high-risk assets such as data centres.
Why Choose Elite Precast
With decades of precast expertise, in-house engineering support and a proven delivery record on projects of every scale, Elite Precast is the partner specifiers trust. We pair robust, repeatable manufacturing with the flexibility to engineer bespoke solutions when a standard product will not do.
Key Applications
Data centres require uncompromising security and uptime. TTPBs support this by providing immediate physical defence against vehicle threats, enhancing overall site security strategy, and reducing reliance on complex installation processes.
They are particularly effective during:
Construction and commissioning phases
Temporary security upgrades
High-risk or sensitive operational periods
Benefits
Fast Deployment with No Groundworks
One of the key advantages of precast tank trap barriers is their speed of installation: delivered ready to position, no need for foundations or excavation, and immediate protection upon placement. This enables contractors and operators to secure sites within hours rather than days, supporting fast-track project timelines.
Flexible and Scalable Security
TTPBs offer a modular and reusable solution that adapts to changing site requirements: easily repositioned as site layouts evolve, suitable for both temporary and permanent installations, and scalable to protect small access points or large perimeters. This flexibility is especially valuable for phased data centre developments.
Engineered for Your Environment
Built for Strength and Durability
Manufactured from high-strength precast concrete, tank trap barriers are designed to perform in demanding environments:
Including all weather and environmental exposure
Capable of withstanding heavy impacts
Long-lasting with minimal maintenance requirements
Their durability ensures reliable long-term perimeter protection.
