K54 Crash Test:

DSC501 Barricade System Handles K54 Crash—Certified!

In February, 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.
