Delta’s newest EM-controlled anti-terrorist crash barrier provides less than zero penetration
Product Profile
Delta Scientific, the leading manufacturer of counter-terrorist vehicle control systems used in the United States and internationally, recently announced that its new HD2055 electromechanically controlled anti-terrorist barricade decisively stopped the 15,000 pound (6,803 kg) test vehicle traveling at 51 (82 kph) in a recent crash test conducted by an independent testing laboratory.
Less than zero penetration of crash barrier
The HD2055 barricades not only stopped the vehicle but contained the test load representing the bombs strapped to the truck bed. The crash test result showed a less than zero penetration.
“Significantly, the operating mechanism and cams were all intact and reusable after the dramatic crash test,” emphasises David Dickinson, Senior Vice President of Delta Scientific. “This level of survival is normally only seen with hydraulic barricade systems.”
Easy-to-install shallow foundation
The new HD2055 barricade features an easy-to-install shallow foundation with an environmentally-friendly electromechanical actuator which utilises a sophisticated cam design that accelerates and de-accelerates the barrier road plate during raising and lowering. This reduces the lifting and closing force down to zero at the end of each stroke, dramatically increasing the life of the lifting mechanism.
The shallow foundation also obviates the concerns of interference with buried pipes, power lines and fibre optic communication lines. The HD2055 is perfect for high water table locations and areas with corrosive soils. It provides low maintenance as all components are accessible from the sides or top of the barrier.
As with its hydraulic designs, the electromechanical HD2055 can be deployed as a single barricade in a narrow lane application or in extended arrays which cover wide roadways. Each HD2055 barricade can be open or closed individually or as a group to allow the passage of both small or large vehicles.
Like other Delta Scientific products, the HD2055 can be remotely controlled via fibre optics, touch screen control panels, NEMA rated control button panels and simple key switches.

Delta Scientific, the manufacturer of counter-terrorist vehicle control systems used globally, announced their MP100 portable barrier system has successfully achieved an M30/P3 designation. Total penetration was measured at a mere 51 feet, making this an industry pioneer. The MP100 was tested to the new ASTM F2656-23 standard which measures the penetration level from the pioneering edge of the barrier versus the back-side of the barrier of the previous standard. Foldable design The MP100 port...
Delta Scientific, the manufacturer of counter-terrorist vehicle control systems used globally, announced their MP100 portable barrier system has successfully achieved a PU30/P3 designation. Total penetration was measured at a mere 29 ft, making this an industry pioneer. The MP100 was tested to the new ASTM F2656-20 standard which measures the penetration level from the leading edge of the barrier versus the back-side of the barrier of the previous standard. MP100 portable barrier system The M...
Delta Scientific, the manufacturer of counter-terrorist vehicle control systems used globally, announced their DSC8000 shallow foundation bi-fold speed gate has successfully achieved an M30/P1 designation with negative penetration. DSC8000 The DSC8000 was tested to the new ASTM F2656-20 standard, which measures the penetration level from the edge of the barrier versus the back-side of the barrier of the previous standard. This can provide a difference of up to five additional feet (1.52...

The DSC550 was tested to the new ASTM F2656-20 standard which measures the penetration level from the foremost edge of the barrier versus the back-side of the barrier like the previous standard. This can provide a difference of (1.52 m.) and makes the negative penetration level even more impressive. Design and features The DSC550 open frame barrier features a shallow foundation of only 24 inches (61 cm). The open-frame design additionally provides a unique counter-balance design with no spring...
Delta Scientific, the pioneering manufacturer of counter-terrorist vehicle control systems used globally, announced that on Monday, April 1st, a DSC501 High-Security Barricade stopped an unauthorised vehicle from entering an FBI field facility in Atlanta, Georgia. According to officials, the orange Buick Encore tried to follow an FBI employee’s car into the facility before being stopped by the Delta DSC501 barrier. The driver was then apprehended by special agents who were in the immediat...
The Nation’s Seaports and Airports throughput thousands of people and billions of dollars worth of materials every day. These ports comprise of massive plots of land located amongst densely populated communities. Seaports can see throughput of more than a thousand trucks on any given day, while airports need to accommodate often erratic traffic consisting of support vehicles, fire trucks and heavy equipment. Securing these facilities requires a varied combination of crash rated barriers....
