TVCBs for Vehicle Security Barriers (VSBs) and Vehicle Containment Barriers (VCBs)
Typical use within Data Centres
Temporary Vertical Concrete Barriers (TVCBs) provide a robust, compliant solution for vehicle security and containment within data centre environments. Designed to meet the demands of high-risk, high-traffic and mission-critical sites, TVCBs are widely used as both Vehicle Security Barriers (VSBs) and Vehicle Containment Barriers (VCBs).
What Are Temporary Vertical Concrete Barriers (TVCBs)?
Protecting Data Centres from Vehicle Threats
Data centres require continuous protection from vehicle-related risks, including accidental impact and deliberate intrusion. TVCBs help mitigate these risks by:
Acting as physical barriers to unauthorised vehicles
Containing errant vehicles within designated routes
Protecting critical infrastructure, equipment and personnel
This ensures operational continuity and enhanced site safety.
Designed for Vehicle Security and Containment
TVCBs are engineered to perform dual roles:
Vehicle Security Barriers (VSBs)
Prevent unauthorised vehicle access
Support hostile vehicle mitigation (HVM) strategies
Protect sensitive zones and infrastructure
Vehicle Containment Barriers (VCBs)
Redirect or contain vehicles within defined areas
Reduce the impact of vehicle collisions
Improve safety across high-traffic zones
Together, these functions provide comprehensive protection across data centre sites.

Key Applications
Enhancing Site Safety and Traffic Management
TVCBs support safe and efficient site operations by:
Separating vehicles from pedestrian zones
Creating controlled traffic routes
Reducing the risk of accidents and collisions
They are particularly effective during:
Construction and commissioning phases
Maintenance and upgrade works
High-traffic operational periods
Benefits
Rapid Deployment for Fast-Track Projects
TVCBs are ideal for time-sensitive data centre projects, offering:
Next-day delivery from stock (UK-wide)
Quick installation with modular units
No requirement for permanent foundations
This enables operators to secure sites quickly with minimal disruption.
Flexible and Modular Barrier System
The modular design of TVCBs allows for adaptable configurations, including:
Straight runs for perimeter or traffic separation
Containment lanes for vehicle routing
Custom layouts using corner and angle units
Barriers can be repositioned or expanded as site requirements evolve.
Cost-Effective Alternative to Permanent Barriers
Compared to permanent systems, TVCBs offer:
Lower installation costs (no groundwork required)
Reusability across multiple projects
Reduced maintenance requirements
This provides a flexible, long-term value solution.
Engineered for Your Environment
High-Strength Construction for Demanding Environments
Manufactured from 50N/mm² high-strength precast concrete and reinforced with steel, TVCBs offer:
Exceptional durability and load resistance
Performance under high-impact conditions
Long service life in harsh environments
This makes them ideal for continuous use in operational data centres.
EN 1317 Compliant Safety Performance
TVCBs are designed to meet EN 1317 standards for road restraint systems when installed by approved contractors. This ensures:
Proven impact performance
Compliance with UK and European safety regulations
Reliable use in both temporary and semi-permanent installations
Why Choose Temporary Vertical Concrete Barriers (TVCBs) for This Application?
Why Use TVCBs for VSBs and VCBs in Data Centres?
