2 New Revolutionary Barrier Systems
1st Commercial Towable – Features “Soft Stop” Technology
The first in a new category of commercial, crash-tested vehicle barriers,
the DSC 1000 is a self-contained unit that is stored and towed on its own
trailer. Light enough to be towed by a golf cart and set up in only 10
minutes, the new DSC 1000 portable barrier has already passed an ASTM crash
test in which it stopped a 5,000-pound (2300 kg) vehicle going 40 mph
(64kph), providing it with an ASTM rating of P40.
Contrary to the “hard stop” wanted with anti-terrorist crash-tested
barricades, testing of the new DSC 1000 demonstrated that a collision does
not distort the passenger compartment of the vehicle. Instead, Soft Stop
technology decelerates and stops the vehicle over a short distance,
technically referred to as “occupant ride down acceleration.”

1st Crash-Rated Shallow Foundation Fixed Bollard Modules – Handle Rough
Terrains and Curves/K12-Tested
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.
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 bollard modules also eliminate the major installation problems
of traditional barriers caused by rough surfaces and turns. By simply
staggering the DSC 600 bollard modules, installers can provide protection to
shallow underpinnings locales with uneven approaches and those with curves.
