Edinburgh's Unique Challenge — Heritage & Modern Safety

Edinburgh presents unique challenges for barrier installation. Much of the city centre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site — barrier design must be sensitive to historic streetscapes and may require approval from Historic Environment Scotland. Edinburgh's tram network — operated by Edinburgh Trams from the Airport to Newhaven — creates specific requirements for barriers adjacent to at-grade tram crossings.

The City of Edinburgh Council's Edinburgh City Mobility Plan prioritises walking, cycling and public transport, creating demand for pedestrian realm barriers, cycle lane protection and vehicle exclusion measures across the city.

Edinburgh Festival Season — World's Largest Arts Festival

Edinburgh hosts the world's largest arts festival — the International Festival, Festival Fringe, Military Tattoo, Film Festival and the famous Hogmanay street party. During August and New Year, the city manages enormous crowds across the Old Town, Royal Mile, Princes Street and Grassmarket. Crowd control barriers, pedestrian channelling and vehicle exclusion are required at extraordinary scale. We supply barriers to event management companies operating in Edinburgh during the festival season.

Edinburgh Airport Security Barriers

Edinburgh Airport — Scotland's busiest airport, handling 14+ million passengers annually — requires vehicle access control bollards, Armco for road edge protection, and height restriction barriers across its extensive car parking and road network. We supply to Edinburgh Airport facilities management contractors.

Scottish Parliament & Government Estate

The Scottish Parliament at Holyrood, Scottish Government offices at St Andrew's House and Victoria Quay, and the wider Scottish government estate require HVM-rated security bollards meeting CPNI and NaCTSO guidance. We supply through security-cleared contractors working on the Scottish government estate.

Edinburgh Tram Network Infrastructure

Edinburgh's tram network requires bollards and barriers at at-grade crossings, pedestrian zones near stops and depot perimeter protection. We supply barriers meeting Edinburgh Trams' infrastructure specifications for ongoing network maintenance and expansion.
