Crowd Control, Traffic Control and Management, Safety, and HVM Solutions
When it comes to Traffic Control Management and Hostile Vehicle Mitigation (HVM), security and flexibility are key. The Meridian Archer 1200 Mobile Barrier is redefining how traffic management companies in Sydney, like CATO Location Services, secure entry points, roadways, and event perimeters. Designed to be unanchored and fully mobile, this best-in-class security system is rapidly becoming the go-to HVM solution for Traffic Control in Sydney and beyond.
The Meridian Barrier is not a permanently fixed bollard; rather, it is a rapidly deployable solution that provides unparalleled security without disrupting pedestrian movement.
Allows Pedestrian & Emergency Access: Unlike traditional barriers, it permits pedestrian flow and emergency vehicle passage without requiring removal.
Traditional solutions such as bulky water-filled barriers or fixed HVM bollards can feel obstructive and restrictive for event attendees. The Meridian Barrier provides the perfect balance of safety and accessibility, making it a preferred choice for councils and event organisers, like City of Sydney.
The City of Sydney (COS) has chosen Meridian as it’s primary HVM solution for major events in 2025, including New Years Eve, Lunar Street Events and Sydney Streets. The clean, modern design and pedestrian-friendly layout make it an ideal solution for events.
With the increasing demand for HVM devices and strategies that prioritise security and convenience, HVM is quickly becoming one of our most highly requested services.

Craig Hunter joined CATO Location Services back in April 2016, leaving behind a career in engineering. He initially joined CATO in the early days as a Traffic Controller and over the past decade has grown into one of CATO’s most respected leaders— from Senior Unit Manager and now as Traffic Manager.
The latest Australian Original drama series, Narrow Road To The Deep North, wrapped production in New South Wales back in February 2024. The five part Amazon Prime Video series is set to make waves when it launches on the streaming service in Australia, New Zealand, and Canada later this month.
After three consecutive years, Sydney Streets returns to seven inner city neighbourhoods celebrating local communities and businesses alike, for a day filled with food, live music and entertainment. Nothing brings out the whole neighbourhood like a street celebration, but for The City of Sydney, Safety is paramount. CATO Location Services are proud to be partnering with the council again to provide their Traffic Control and HVM services to support the closure of some of Sydney’s busiest roads and locations.
