Atlanta, GA -- January 10, 2003 -- To protect its citizens, employees, assets and facilities, the Florida Management Services Department is implementing SecureUSAs high security surface mounted barricades and plan to add decorative bollards in a later phase, to guard entrances at the Florida State Capital Building from vehicle assault.

SecureUSA assisted with the design and layout of the perimeter barrier protection system, that is being completed in several phases. The FDLE building has had an extensive perimeter security upgrade, which has included guard booths, barriers, bollards and planters.

Multiple entrances to the Tallahassee Capital Building will be protected in several phases. Delta SU-W207SFM and SU-W2015 wedge barricades are currently installed, which are crash-rated. The FDLE building has utilized SU-W2015 wedge barriers with concrete bollards and planters. Used for intermediate security applications, the speed at which the barriers deploy can be fully adjusted to the security site and facility requirements. Similar barriers are used at the Wilmington, Del. and Miami Federal Courthouses and the GSA and Ronald Reagan buildings in Washington, DC.

High security decorative bollard systems are proposed for the members garage and will blend in with the aesthetics of the Florida State Capital Building," Clark adds. Special decorative trim is placed around the perimeter of the crash tube, to present an aesthetically pleasing appearance. They will also use proven Delta hydraulic power systems and controls to raise or lower the bollards to permit passage of authorized vehicles. In a crash test, these bollards stopped a 7.5 ton vehicle traveling at 44 mph. They carry a U.S. Department of State and DOD rating of K8, L2, the highest rating that the United States government has given to a bollard system."
