Designing a secure location can be a challenge, but having to do so in the midst of a bustling metropolis poses even bigger issues. Along with needing to keep the building and its occupants safe from vehicular and personal intrusion, architects will also have to keep the local population in mind.
Keeping Parking Garages Safe Zones
Unmanned parking garages are becoming a staple in larger cities. As companies take advantage of remote security and automated egress systems, the need for a large on-site security force for these enclosed structures seems to be diminishing. But a recent rise in attacks has led some companies to rethink this model. By adding additional security measures and a physical security presence, these areas can become much safer for foot and vehicular traffic.
The Roles of Industrial Bollards in the Petro-Chemical Industry
Protecting infrastructure is huge responsibility in the petro-chemical industry. Your company needs the right equipment in place to ensure the safety and security of equipment and to prevent tragedies.

Portable Protection on a Smaller Scale
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.
