PALMDALE, CALIF. – Delta Scientific, the leading manufacturer of counter-terrorist vehicle control systems used in the United States and internationally, today announced that the first phase of six phases of the Sky Harbor Airport parking structures will incorporate 13 Delta DSC 2000 shallow foundation barricades. Delta’s fastest, smallest and shallowest foundation barricade is K12 crash certified with no penetration, meaning it will stop a 15,000 pound (66.7 kN) vehicle traveling 50 mph (80 kph) dead in its tracks. Set in a foundation only ten inches (25 cm) deep versus the standard 18 inches on most shallow foundation barricades, the Delta DSC 2000 survived and operated after a crash test with a 1.5 million foot pound impact, exceeding Department of State and Department of Defense test standards. “With its extremely shallow foundation and aesthetic design, the DSC 2000 has proven to be a major breakthrough in high duty, anti-terrorist barricades,” explains Delta Scientific Senior Vice President David Dickinson.  “It obviates the concerns of interference with buried pipes, power lines and fiber optic communication lines.  The barricade’s ten-inch shallow foundation also reduces installation complexity, time, materials and corresponding costs.  It is also perfect for high water table locations and areas with corrosive soils.” Important for Sky Harbor’s busy parking structures, the DSC 2000 will go from the “down” to “up” position in less than one-half second and is designed for heavy use of more than 100,000 cycles per month, providing increased security for such high capacity locations.  In the lowered position, the DSC 2000’s barrier ramp is completely flush with the roadway. Buttresses, counterweights and road plates do not obstruct authorized pedestrian or vehicular traffic. Weighing only 1100 pounds (500 kg), the DSC 2000 barricade can be installed without the use of power equipment.  It can even be set up and serviced without needing to remove the top plate. Delta builds seven broad es of counter terrorist vehicle barricade systems, including beam barricades, wedge barricades, bollards, sliding gates, shallow foundation high security barricades, surface mounted barricades and portable barricades.
