Music Festivals
An EcoShield is engineered planting that absorbs the pressure wave from a bomb blast, so less of it reaches the people on the other side. At a festival it stands along the queuing lanes and around the arrival plaza, between your perimeter and your search, and it is installed for the event and taken away after.
What an EcoShield does at a festival
Your perimeter fence and vehicle barriers control what reaches the site, and your search lanes check everyone at the gate. The festival-goers queuing between the two are inside the first line of protection and waiting to reach the second. An EcoShield gives that stretch of the arrival route physical protection of its own.
It is a planted barrier with an engineered structure inside, designed for the threat of a bomb carried in by a person. It absorbs blast energy, so less of the pressure wave reaches the people behind it. It sits alongside your queuing lanes, so stewarding and search carry on exactly as they do now, and it gives you a physical measure to record in your Martyn's Law documentation.
Festival-goers see planting. The weekend still begins with a walk up to the gate that feels like the start of something good, without a hint that anyone is expecting trouble.
Where it goes on a festival site
It stands where the crowd builds before the search: along the queuing lanes, around the arrival plaza where people meet and wait, and beside the bus and shuttle drop-off. Gaps are left on every line people walk, so the crowd moves freely and nobody is hemmed in. Emergency access routes and the widths your crowd management plan depends on are inputs to the design, and every section is drawn to your site plan.
Installed for the event, taken away after
A festival EcoShield is a temporary configuration. It is delivered and installed before the gates open, and taken away once the site clears. The layout is agreed with your event safety team, and with the local Safety Advisory Group (SAG) where one reviews your event, before anything arrives on site.
Where it sits alongside what you have
Your perimeter fence, vehicle barriers, stewarding and search regime all stay exactly as they are. An EcoShield adds physical protection on the arrival route, where people wait before they reach the search, and it gives your event safety plan a measure for the part of the site that has always been the hardest to protect.

Thirty minutes against your own festival site: what you are protecting, what the site allows, who signs it off, and whether anything is forcing a decision. No deck and no obligation.
