Improved protection barrier and components thereof

A protection block including:

• a bumper surface for receiving impact forces;
• an elongate structure positioning surface arranged in use to be positioned substantially against or adjacent to a border defined by a structure to be protected;
• at least one resiliently flexible joining member joining said bumper surface to said structure positioning surface;
• at least two locating apertures, each locating aperture being arranged to receive a locating pin;
• and
• wherein said at least two locating apertures are arranged so that when a plurality of said protection blocks are stacked a locating pin can be positioned within at least one of the locating apertures of each of said plurality of blocks to locate the plurality of blocks together to form a combination of protection blocks, and combinations of protection blocks can be connected together to form a protective barrier in which at least one protection block is common to adjacently located connected combinations of protection blocks.

A protective barrier including a plurality of protection blocks and a plurality of locating pins, each protection block including:

• a bumper surface for receiving impact forces;
• an elongate structure positioning surface arranged in use to be positioned substantially against or adjacent to a border defined by a structure to be protected;
• at least two locating apertures;
• and
• wherein the protection blocks are arranged in rows, with the protection blocks of adjacent rows being offset horizontally relative to one another in such a manner that said locating pins can be located in respective substantially vertically aligned apertures of the rows of protection blocks so as to thereby locate the protective blocks in their respective row and to locate adjacent rows together.
