Safety is always a primary concern, even in locales where aesthetics and architecture play a dominant role in landscaping. Places such as malls and town greens must be easily accessible for foot traffic and pose their own safety issues. When planning a layout for a major corporation or university campus, it’s easy to integrate permanent solutions to vehicular defense threats. Problems arise when security staff needs to make accommodations for areas where safety has been an afterthought.
Beautiful Bollards Are the Attractive Alternative
Protecting people and property from vehicular threats would appear to be an easy task. Many buildings and roadways already have security measures in place, or rely on temporary solutions to fix permanent problems. Other areas might need to keep cars and trucks away from pathways mainly used for foot traffic but may still require vehicle access in emergencies or for maintenance work.
The Security Aesthetic and Public Schools
Unfortunately, public schools have become a target for violent activity, and security is a rising concern for parents and officials across the United States. Steps are being taken to reinforce elementary and secondary educational institutions, and new construction takes student and faculty safety as its primary concern.
Top Uses for Traffic Controller Tire Spikes
Traffic controller tire spikes are an excellent choice if you need to enforce a one-way traffic flow. Although this type of barrier works well for this particular application, it isn’t necessarily suited to all types of barrier needs. Finding the best barrier solution for your particular need is something that Delta Scientific can help you with.
The Importance of Preparedness: Early Warning Systems
While in the past vehicle attacks were a source of concern, today the most prevalent means of conveyance is used as a weapon for destruction. Vehicles have become part if the terrorist tool kit, and it’s more important than ever to prepare for such threats. From angry drivers to determined killers, there have been over 14 major deliberate vehicle attacks in the past five years. One of the most effective ways to keep people and property safe is to develop and implement early warning systems that will ensure security personnel has adequate time to respond to threats.
Security Systems and the Power of the Camera
When devising a security plan, the best weapon designers and experts have at their disposal is information. Whether it be data relating to a specific area for planning or real-time information about perimeter status, it pays to know what’s coming. Since it’s impossible to keep an eye on every location at once, security cameras are excellent for watching a plethora of areas. These valuable tools should not be overlooked or underused when crafting an exterior defense.

Poor Gates Bar Effective Airport Security
For almost two decades, airports have been trying to secure themselves from intrusions of all kinds. While airports have been able to reduce the threat of insurgents boarding planes effectively, there are still lapses in external security that could prove extremely dangerous. The security gate is by far the weakest point in any fence-based security plan.
Planning Better Parking Lot Protection
One of the most dangerous locations in your place of business isn’t the kitchen or the bathroom, it’s the parking lot. Having excellent security does more than keep vehicles safe, but protects employees and guests alike.
A Portable, Flexible, and Temporary Barrier
As more incidents involving rogue drivers flood the news, security teams look for new ways to prevent an assault on their watch. Security measures are turning to temporary solutions to this protection problem. By incorporating high-security portable barricades, planners and police have better control over incursions while also creating access for pedestrians.
