New Barrier Debris Covers Improve Safety, Security

  • Apr 05, 2007

Delta Scientific, manufacturer of counter-terrorist vehicle control systems used in the United States and internationally, introduced its new debris screens for its DSC501 and DSC2000 Shallow Foundation Phalanx Barrier Systems.  The new debris screens reduce visual and physical access to the intra-barrier area for security and safety purposes.  They also will deflect explosives, such as hand grenades, from being thrown inside the barricade.  The debris screens were tested to more than 10,000 cycles with no measurable damage or wear.

“These new debris screens help to prevent objects, animals and people from entering the area beneath the barrier plates,” said Delta Scientific Senior Vice President David Dickinson. “They further discourage unauthorized and unwanted entries by severely reducing visual access to the area within the barrier frame.”

According to Dickinson, the debris screens can be deployed with factory-prepared DSC501 or DSC2000 barriers or retrofitted to any existing DSC501 or DSC2000 barrier already installed.

Set in a foundation only 18 inches, Delta DSC501 survives and operates after a K54 (5.4 million foot-pounds) impact.  The barrier will stop and destroy a 65,000-pound vehicle traveling at 50 mph. Multiple nations’ military bases, embassies and high-security locations deploy more than 1,000 of the units throughout the world. 

Set in a foundation only 10 inches deep, Delta DSC2000 survives and operates after a crash test with a 1.5 million foot pound impact, exceeding Department of State and Department of Defense test standards.  Delta’s fastest, smallest and shallowest foundation barricade was created especially for high-speed applications and ease of installation.
