A Closer Look at Visual Deterrents

Half of the battle against aggressors is pre-planning. Establishing a comprehensive security system before an attack takes place ensures that staff and police are prepared for almost any eventuality. However, constructing or modifying an area to be highly secure without looking like a fortress is a challenge every architect faces, especially in locales where looks mean everything.

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.

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.

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.

How Effective Are Traffic Spikes?

Traffic control spikes allow traffic to flow in one direction while preventing access from the other. Spikes are designed to prevent drivers from entering through an access point where a gate may close slowly or where a gate cannot be installed. Delta offers tire spike traffic controllers for a variety of applications.
