EVENT SECURITY

Securing Events Around the World

No barrier manufacturer has done more for event security than Delta Scientific. 

Street fairs, festivals, concerts, premiers, sporting events, conventions and street caterings around the nation have implemented Delta Scientific portable barricades to protect event attendees from vehicles.  Delta is the only manufacturer to offer a full line of M30, M40, and M50 portable barriers including the MP5000 and DSC1500 barriers. Delta Scientific’s TB100 and TB150 bollards offer up to crash rated stopping power in the form of portable bollards. The DSC1500 and MP5000 have the ability to open and close allowing emergency services personnel to enter a venue at a moment’s notice, even when the barrier is not connected to outside power. It is no wonder that when the Democratic and Republican National Conventions take place Delta barricades are used to secure the area. If you have an event you are looking to secure from errant drivers or vehicle borne terrorist attacks give Delta Scientific a call.

Frequently Asked Questions

Delta portable barriers and bollard arrays help prevent unauthorized vehicle access to event footprints, supporting safer festivals, concerts, street fairs, parades, and conventions, especially where you need fast setup and predictable performance.

Common event-ready options include MP-series tow-in portable barriers (for rapid perimeter hardening), portable bollard array systems (e.g., TB-series) for pedestrian-friendly protection, and other portable/temporary systems depending on footprint and access needs. Your recommended mix should be driven by the required ASTM rating, setup time, emergency access plan, and storage/logistics.

Yes. Event plans often require controlled emergency entry while maintaining protection. Delta portable systems can be configured to support planned access points for EMS/fire/law enforcement, so response routes remain viable without leaving the perimeter unprotected.

Yes. Delta solutions scale from single-street closures to multi-gate, citywide event footprints. The same standards-led selection approach applies: define the risk, choose the rating, then design operations around access and flow.

Most portable systems are built for field deployment by trained teams with minimal specialized tools. Practical needs typically include basic staging, a deployment plan, and trained operators, because performance in the real world depends on correct placement and procedures, not just the hardware.
