High Security Barricades

DSC501 MB

The DSC501-MB version of the highly effective DSC501 barricade features a pre-packaged and self contained hydraulic pumping unit and electrical control system mounted on the frame of the DSC501 barricade in an above grade module.

It is pre-plumbed and pre-wired for rapid installation. Installation consists of excavating a nominal eighteen-inch deep foundation, casting the barricade in place and supplying electrical power. All of the hydraulic lines, hydraulic cylinder and controls are mounted above grade as close as possible to the barricade.

This provides for very fast operation. It was developed for applications were rapid installation is desired, or for environments with heavy sand or snow conditions. For corrosive soil environments the DSC501- MB can be supplied with zinc coatings such as galvanization. It has all of the security capabilities of the DSC501 with the added benefits of the pre installed pumping unit.

SECOND STRIKE CAPABILITY
The DSC501– MB Barricade System has been tested in full scale configuration and has demonstrated its ability to stop and destroy a fast moving heavily loaded truck (weigh 65,000 pounds –collision speed 50 MPH). The Barricade System survived the K54 equivalent or (H50 ASTM F2656-7) impact with all major elements intact – the Barricade System was repaired and operating in 3 hours.

U.S. DEPT OF STATE CRASH TEST CERTIFICATION
The DSC501-K12 Barricade System has been tested and certified to the highest United States Department of State and International energy standards and has a K12 and a K12-L3 rating.

UNITED KINGDOM CRASH TEST
The DSC501 has been tested to the United Kingdom BSI Standard PAS:68 2007 Crash Test. 7.5 Tonne EU truck at 80 kph. Zero penetration and fully functional after the vehicle was removed. Second attack readiness demonstrated. Passed Test.

FUNCTIONALITY - POST K 12 CERTIFICATION CRASH TEST
Following the K12 Certification Test the DSC501–K50 was operated 27,000 full cycles and then inspected by the independent test laboratory. Functionality of the Barrier was found to be 100% with no measurable wear.

K54 Crash Test: DSC501 Barricade System Handles K54 Crash—Certified!

In February 2001, prior to 9-11, we crash tested the highly innovative DSC501 vehicle barricade system, set in a foundation only 18-inches deep, that was certified K12 by the US Department of State. That means it will stop and destroy a 15,000-pound (6810 kg) vehicle traveling at 50 mph (80 kph).

Over the last 5 years, it has become the barricade standard used by many US government organizations - among others - to protect their facilities from truck bomb attack. Several thousand are in use. As the war on terrorism has escalated, the sizes of the vehicles used in truck bomb attacks have increased and multiple vehicles are sometimes used.

The question was posed - how would the Delta DSC501 Barricade hold up to the new threats? The answer - very nicely, thank you! The test energy was five times greater than the original certification. Better yet it is now certified at K54.

The DSC501 not only stopped and destroyed a 65,000-pound dump truck but the barricade continued to stand, preventing a potential second attack. When the attack truck was removed, the barricade was repaired in less than three hours using hand tools and $7 of parts from the local hardware store. It was cycled in the normal and emergency fast modes. The foundation was undamaged.
