Barricade exceeds State Department requirements

After undergoing stringent testing, Delta Scientific's new DSC 501 barricade has exceeded the US State Department requirements for its highest level of anti-terrorist vehicle barricades. The K12/L3 certification is widely employed by federal buildings, military bases and embassies. Exceeding all requirements, the barricade was fully operational after the test truck was extracted.

The DSC 501 barrier features a shallow foundation that eliminates concerns of interference with buried pipes, power lines and fibre optic communications lines. With its 18" foundation, installation complexity, time, materials and corresponding costs are all reduced. The DSC 501 is appropriate for high water table locations and areas with corrosive soils.

Front-face warning lights warn drivers that the barricade is in the 'up' position. There is also an open area on the front for signage. Open channel construction allows the option of specifying hot dip galvanising. To raise or lower the barricade, the DSC 501 uses Delta's hydraulic power systems and controls. The anti-terrorist barrier is operated with Delta control panels, card readers, keypads or radio controls.
