President Putin Safe with Mojo Barriers
This November, Russian President Vladimir Putin became the first Russian leader to visit Holland in more than 300 years, and Mojo Barriers were contracted to provide the security barriers.
The two-day official visit involved the Russian President visiting Amsterdam’s Dam Square to lay flowers on a national monument and Zaandam’s City Square, before moving on to the Royal Palace in The Hague. The following day, he remained in The Hague for meetings with the Dutch Prime Minister.
Mojo Barriers worked with Amsterdam and Zaandam city officials and police officers to create safe areas within the cities so that President Putin’s safety during the visit was ensured.
Across the two cities, more than 1300 metres of barriers used to seal off areas of the cities to the public and there were 20 road closures achieved using vehicle gates. Mojo Barriers was responsible for setting a barrier system that closed off specific areas around the Dam Square, the Russian Consulate, the Czar Peter House and Zaandam’s City Square.
Patrick Jordan, MD of Mojo Barriers commented: “We are working on an increasing number of public and community type events; this high profile visit by President Putin highlighted the security advantages using our barriers to create sterile, secure areas. Our barriers offer a robust temporary solution to police forces, and in liaison with them we had to plan carefully the closed-off areas of the two cities and set up the day before to ensure it was completely safe for the President’s visit, with minimal disruption to the cities.”
