DefenCell
Gains US Dept of State, K-12 Vehicle Barrier Certification
During crash testing a DefenCell Expeditionary Earth Filled Barrier successfully
completed K-12 anti-ram certification standard in the USA. The test requires
the barrier to stop a 15,000lb truck at 50 mph within a given distance.
DefenCell passed with no penetration at all.
This follows on from DefenCell's successful completion of vehicle crash
tests by the UK's Transport Research Laboratory (TRL) stopping a 7.5t
truck in August last year.
DefenCell barriers have now been installed at Gatwick Airport, UK, as
part of the security enhancements at the airport following the attack
on Glasgow in June 2007.
DefenCell provides a vehicle barrier to protect access roads from vehicle
incursion.
DefenCell is currently in service with the UK MoD in Afghanistan, the
Irish Defence Force in Chad and the US Army; it has also been ballistically
trailed and tested against explosive attack and barrier and crash protection.
In both cases, DefenCell showed remarkable resilience and stopping power.
