Tank Trap Pyramid Barriers (TTPBs / Dragon's Teeth)

They are used to restrict vehicle access, protect infrastructure and create secure perimeters in commercial, industrial and infrastructure environments.

Yes. They are widely used for site boundary reinforcement and vehicle exclusion zones.

In many applications, no. They are freestanding and rely on their weight and shape for stability.

Yes. They can be repositioned using appropriate lifting equipment.

Yes. Their durable precast construction makes them suitable for both temporary and semi-permanent applications.

They act as a physical vehicle deterrent. Specific mitigation performance depends on configuration and project design.

Yes, we supply Tank Traps and Pyramid Barriers across the UK.

Tank trap pyramid barriers, commonly known as Dragon's Teeth, are precast concrete obstacles designed to prevent or slow the movement of vehicles, particularly in defence and high-security environments.

Yes. Their shape, spacing, and strength are designed to disrupt vehicle movement, making them highly effective as part of a wider hostile vehicle mitigation strategy.

They are commonly used in military bases and defence installations, forward operating bases (FOBs), border and perimeter security zones, high-security infrastructure sites, and temporary or semi-permanent deployment areas.

Yes. As precast concrete units, they can be transported and positioned rapidly using standard lifting equipment, allowing fast deployment in operational environments.

Yes. Barriers can be arranged in different patterns and spacing configurations depending on the level of protection required and the terrain.

Yes. They are often used alongside fencing, concrete walling, gates, and other barriers to create layered defence and enhanced perimeter security.

Each pyramid features a sharp apex and heavy concrete mass that obstructs vehicle undercarriages, preventing access. When arranged in interlocking formations, they create a continuous physical barrier that vehicles cannot easily bypass.

Yes. TTPBs are designed for rapid deployment with no foundation required, making them ideal for fast-moving projects. Interlocking connectors allow quick assembly into secure barrier lines without complex installation.

Absolutely. Each unit includes integrated lifting points, allowing safe handling and repositioning. Their modular design means they can be relocated or reused as site requirements change.

Manufactured from high-strength 50 N/mm² precast concrete, these barriers are built to withstand: Harsh weather conditions Heavy impact forces Long-term outdoor use They provide a low-maintenance, long-lasting security solution.

Tank trap barriers offer several advantages: Immediate deployment with no foundations High-impact resistance against vehicles Modular flexibility for different site layouts Proven effectiveness, based on military-grade designs They provide a cost-effective and reliable method of perimeter security for critical infrastructure.

Yes. Data centres are high-value, high-risk environments, and TTPBs provide: Strong perimeter defence against vehicle threats Flexible deployment for evolving site layouts Reliable protection for critical assets and operations This makes them an essential part of modern data centre security strategies.

They are used to provide anti-vehicle protection by creating physical obstacles that restrict access, control movement and protect perimeters from unauthorised or hostile vehicles.
