Delta’s Single Shallow Foundation Bollard Gets M30 Rating
Delta Scientific announces the successful testing of its ASTM F2656-20 M30/P1-certified Model DSC633, a single shallow foundation bollard design that stops and destroys a 15,000 (6.804 kg) pound test truck with -8.82 feet (-2.69 m) of static penetration and -3.63 feet (-1.1 m) of dynamic penetration. The simulated bomb load remained intact and contained on the truck bed. The test vehicle weighed 15,000 pounds (6,804 kg) and was traveling over 30 miles per hour.
Single Bollard Stops and Destroys Simulated Bomb Truck
Delta Scientific announces the successful testing of its Model DSC635, a single shallow foundation bollard design that stops and destroys a 15,000 pound test truck with less than two feet of static penetration and 6.14 feet of dynamic penetration. The simulated bomb load remained intact and contained on the truck bed. The test vehicle weighed 15,000 pounds and was traveling over 50 miles per hour. The front wheels were pushed back behind the cab and the engine ended up on the passenger side of the seat.
Delta Scientific Hits Job # 10,000
Delta Scientific announced that they have reached a milestone in achieving job number 10,000. That translates to over 9,800 wedge barricades, 1,100 gates, 5,300 beam barriers, 23,000 bollards and thousands of traffic spikes and gate arms. The first order was entered into the system in 1974 for what is now the Sabre Tooth Traffic Control with Tire Spikes that enforces “One Way” traffic flow for parking facilities or other single direction vehicle lanes.
New Delta DSC7090 Beam Barricade Handles Over 100 Vehicles per Hour
Delta Scientific announced that its new bolt down DSC7090 beam barricade has passed its crash test garnering an ASTM M30/P1 rating. That means the DSC7090 will stop a 15,000 pound truck going 30 mph with negative 6.3 feet of penetration. Raising in only five seconds and lowering in merely two seconds yields a fast cycle rate of over 100 vehicles in and out per hour, making the new DSC7090 ideal for higher traffic and population locations.
Delta Scientific Introduces Higher Crash Rated Portable Bollards
Delta Scientific announced that its new patented crash rated TB150 portable bollard system lets law enforcement and other security providers promptly block access to temporary venues where vehicles can be used as weapons against large numbers of pedestrians. Individual portable bollards provide vehicle barricades in applications such as heavily traveled walkways and roadways or any area that a vehicle can get through.
