When thousands of people gather at Christmas markets and winter events, safety becomes a central part of the experience. Citizens and visitors should be able to enjoy the Christmas atmosphere without worries – and organizers as well as municipalities hold the responsibility to create the right framework.
Concrete blocks – a solution with limitations
In many Danish cities, concrete blocks are still being used to secure squares and streets. While this might seem like a quick fix, it comes with challenges:
-
Concrete blocks are rarely certified, and therefore do not provide the documented level of protection required against a vehicle attack.
-
They often weigh less than 8 tons, which means they do not comply with international standards.
-
They send a signal of a “temporary patch” and break with the cozy atmosphere that Christmas markets are meant to create.
Certified security that fits in
At Damasec, we offer mobile and flexible Hostile Vehicle Mitigation (HVM) solutions, which are certified and tested according to international standards. This ensures that you can document real protection for citizens, suppliers, and authorities.
Our solutions provide:
-
Safety: tested and certified protection.
-
Natural flow: systems designed for crowd management – people can move freely without feeling fenced in.
-
Aesthetic integration: solutions that fit better into the urban space and do not disrupt the Christmas spirit.
-
Flexibility: tailored to everything from small town squares to large-scale events.
-
Quick installation: can be set up and dismantled within just a few hours.
