DSC 600 Shallow Foundation Bollards protect approaches to buildings, drop-off and passenger loading areas at transportation hubs, storefronts, sports arenas, office buildings and other presently unprotected locations where vehicle bombers and errant drivers have no obstacles to stop them. With the DSC 600 bollard modules, those facilities surrounded by streets, abutting sidewalks and set back on lawns, such as many state capitals, other government structures, stadiums, theaters, and commercial buildings, can now be effectively protected.

With a foundation only 14 inches (35.5 cm) deep versus the four feet (1.2 m) typically required, Delta’s new DSC 600 Shallow Foundation Bollards can be installed within sidewalks, on top of concrete deck truss bridges or in planters as well as conform to the inclines and turns of a locale. The new 2-bollard modules, which can be arrayed in whatever length is required, will stop and destroy a 15,000-pound (66.7 kN) truck traveling 50 miles per hour (80 kph).

The DSC 600 is the first Shallow Foundation Bollard to successfully meet the U.S. Department of State Specification, Revision A that requires the bed of the attacking truck to go less than 39 inches (1 m) beyond the point of impact.

In its certified crash test on July 31, 2007, the penetration of the truck was only 15 inches (38.1 cm), with only minor damage to the DSC 600 bollards, meeting both the US and United Kingdom 1-meter requirements. Both bollards in the module were structurally sound and the foundation pad was intact. The system stood ready to accept a subsequent hit, a tactic employed by terrorists.

The DSC 600 bollard modules also eliminate the major installation problems of traditional barriers caused by rough surfaces and turns. Conventional barriers require surface areas to be completely leveled. On curves, setbacks often end up too close to the facility. By simply staggering the DSC 600 bollard modules, installers can provide protection to shallow underpinnings locales with uneven approaches and those with curves. DSC 600 bollards will blend into curves, rough terrain or inclines easily. Setbacks can be as short as 2 feet (61 cm), providing a much greater safety cushion for the facility.

The DSC 600 Shallow Foundation Bollards are also perfect for high water table locations and areas with corrosive soils. The shallow foundation obviates the concerns of interference with buried water, gas and fuel pipes, storm drains, power lines and fiber optic communication lines. This foundation also reduces installation complexity, time, materials and corresponding costs. The new bollard modules also meet the 1-meter clearance regulations mandated by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The bollards can even be architecturally enhanced to blend in with their surroundings using Delta’s decorative bollard option. The front to back length of a DSC 600 Shallow Foundation Bollard module is seven feet (2.13 m).

Bollard systems operate individually or in groups up to ten and are used for intermediate level security applications. Individual bollards are up to 13.25 inches (336 mm) in diameter, up to 35 inches high (889 mm) and are usually mounted on 3-foot centers. Hydraulic and pneumatic versions can be operated by a variety of control systems. Manual versions are counter balanced and lock in the up or down position. All models are crash rated and may be lowered to allow passage of authorized vehicles.

Single to multiple bollard arrays can be packaged to meet site-specific applications. These bollard arrays can operate individually or in groups of sets, such as a six-bollard system running as two sets of three to control a two-lane entrance and exit.

You can specify having ornamental steel trim attached directly to the bollard or select cast sleeves of aluminum, iron or bronze, which slip right over the crash tube. Bollards can be galvanized for corrosion resistance, fitted with an internal warning light for increased visibility and engineered to suit high traffic volumes. If damaged, you simply slip off the old and slip on the new.

With Delta’s revolutionary designer bollards – DSC701, DSC720 and DSC800 – your first level of security will accent and enhance your architecture. With their good looks, the bollards you’ve always wanted to use out back can also be brought out front to hold a spot for visiting dignitaries or protect the front lobby.
