PALMDALE, CALIF.
- October 10, 2007 - Delta Scientific, the leading manufacturer of counter-terrorist
vehicle control systems used in the United States and internationally, today
announced that its new DSC 1200 surface mounted barricade provides a very easy
to install high security vehicle access control system for banks, city and federal
government offices, museums, corporate buildings, factories, oil refineries,
railway, airport and other transportation hubs as well as other facilities threatened
by truck bomb attack, errant drivers or car-crashing thieves. Installers can
simply epoxy or bolt the new DSC 1200 barricade to an already-existing concrete
slab. Since there are no drainage or underground utilities issues, installation
is fast.
"There
continues to be great demand for certified crash-resistant barricades that can
be installed quickly and inexpensively," explains David Dickinson, Delta
Scientific senior vice president. "From smashing a vehicle into a museum
to stealing art to stopping terrorists at government facilities, the DSC 1200
provides a plug-and-play temporary or permanent security alternative that can
be operational within hours."
Ready to operate,
the DSC 1200 high security barricade features a self-contained motor drive in
one buttress and operates on single-phase household voltages. Stop-and-go signal
lights and access control logic are also built-in. To manage the barricade,
operators use touch screen control panels, which simply plug into the barricade's
control circuits.
The new DSC
1200 high security barricade has been full scale tested and certified by the
U.S. Department of State as K4. It will stop and destroy a 15,000-pound (66.7
kN) truck traveling 30 miles per hour (48 kph).
The DSC 1200
high security barricades are also perfect for high water table locations and
areas with corrosive soils. Needing no foundation except a cement slab obviates
the concerns of interference with subsurface water, gas and fuel pipes, storm
drains, power lines and fiber optic communication lines. Simply epoxying or
bolting the barricades to a slab instead of having to dig a trench also reduces
installation complexity, time, materials and corresponding costs.
The new DSC
1200 high security barricade is now available. More information is available
