Access barrier equipment technology type analysis
2025-08-29 06:15:28
Barrier equipment serves as a critical safety management solution, deployed at entrances, roads, perimeters, and other strategic locations. Over the past few decades, this industry has evolved significantly, with new product types emerging such as fixed columns, lifting columns, flip roadblocks, and flat push gates. Based on security requirements, roadblock systems are generally categorized into high-security and general-security types. High-security barriers are typically installed in sensitive areas like government buildings, embassies, and banks to prevent vehicle-borne threats such as car bombs or malicious attacks. On the other hand, general-security roadblocks are commonly used in industrial, commercial, and residential settings for managing pedestrian and vehicle traffic, ensuring safety in places like factories, shopping streets, and communities.
**Deep Buried Roadblocks**
Most manufacturers around the world still rely on traditional deep-buried roadblocks, which require excavation depths of 1 to 2 meters. The deeper the installation, the higher the impact resistance. This is because when a vehicle collides with a barrier, a significant amount of energy must be absorbed. A solid underground foundation plays a key role in dissipating that energy. However, while the underground structure contributes to collision resistance, the overall performance of the system also depends on the design, materials, and installation techniques.
The main drawbacks of deep-buried roadblocks include high installation costs, long construction periods, and risks associated with underground utilities. During excavation, unexpected encounters with gas lines, cables, or other infrastructure can cause serious delays and additional expenses. In some cases, rerouting these utilities may cost more than the actual installation of the roadblock itself.
**Shallow Installation Roadblocks**
Shallow installation technology offers an alternative by reducing the depth of excavation required. This method demands more advanced design and material engineering, which many manufacturers have yet to fully master. Shallow installations allow roadblocks to avoid underground obstacles, making them a safer and more efficient option. For example, a K4-rated barrier (capable of stopping a 7.5-ton truck at 50 km/h) traditionally requires 180 cm of excavation, but with shallow technology, it only needs 80 cm. Some systems, like ATG’s shallow installation solutions for fixed posts, flip barriers, and flat push gates, require less than 40 cm of excavation. These systems offer the same durability as deep-buried models but with minimal ground disruption.
**Superficial Roadblocks**
To meet modern demands for anti-terrorism, stability, and traffic control, roadblocks must fulfill five key criteria:
- Effective resistance to collisions at any speed
- Easy to transport, requiring lightweight and compact designs
- Operable under all environmental conditions, both manually and automatically
- Fast deployment across any road section
- Quick backup support during major events
Superficial roadblocks, which are installed directly on the surface, meet these requirements. They cause little to no damage to the ground and can be used permanently or temporarily. These systems are highly flexible and ideal for rapid deployment in emergency situations. One such system, a revolutionary blocking net, has passed international crash tests and can be deployed in just 7 minutes. It is lightweight, easy to transport, and reduces logistical costs significantly.
These roadblocks weigh between 300 to 500 kg—far lighter than traditional models—which can weigh up to 2,000 kg. Despite their smaller size, they are capable of stopping a 7.5-ton vehicle traveling at 50 km/h. They are versatile, suitable for various environments, and can even be operated manually without electricity. With proper training, a team can manage multiple intersections within a day.
In today’s complex security landscape, superficial roadblocks have become the preferred physical security solution. Whether for large-scale events, temporary traffic control, or permanent protection for government buildings, schools, or banks, these systems provide effective, efficient, and environmentally friendly security.
