| Future Barriers unveils Future Barriers Surface Mount  Future Barriers Ltd. released a new anti-terrorism surface mounted vehicle barrier. The FB-SM, Future Barriers Surface Mount, barrier was designed to alleviate many reliability, efficiency, and maintenance problems associated with the recognized industry standard of hydraulic operated vehicle barriers. The new vehicle barrier became available to most customers in North America. The vehicle barrier provides protection to vehicle entrances that do not have room for extensive excavation, but require more security than just a gate arm. This is the first of many vehicle barriers that will be released by the company to defend facilities against intrusion.The Future Barriers Surface Mount Series is a modular bolt-down barrier system designed to prevent vehicular intrusion into facilities. These systems are designed to meet the traffic control scenarios for a variety of facilities. They can be configured to withstand an impact from a vehicle weighing 15,000 lbs traveling @ 35 mph. The most notable feature is an all in one safety module implemented by Future Barriers into the barricade. The safety-module includes a gate arm and a traffic light module that are integrated into the buttress. This integration reduces the overall installation space required and reduces installation costs as well. The safety-module features a safety arm that is smooth, quick and quiet and lights that are easily visible in all weather conditions. These lights are designed to be part of the buttress, at the barrier, and reduce the confusion of having lights in a position where they may be overlooked by a driver approaching the barrier. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
