Barriers: not just for government anymore

Article Abstract:

Increasing incidences of theft and unwanted intrusions are driving the development of barriers. Formerly used only by embassies, military bases and nuclear facilities, barriers are now being used by cargo depots, universities and business establishments. The wider market has also led to the development of portable barriers that are meant for temporary use. These include the IP500 from Delta Scientific of Valencia, CA, a beam-type barrier capable of stopping a 15,000-pound vehicle moving at 30 miles per hour.
