Toepassingen:

DIRICKX Systems states EB-UNITS protect personnel, assets including vehicles, buildings, critical infrastructure and production and storage facilities, with configurations that include entry control and vehicle checkpoints and HVM and perimeter security. DIRICKX Systems states the PS-01 can be deployed around critical infrastructure, government facilities and border surveillance areas, can be integrated with security gates, borders and pedestrian access areas, and is compatible with security systems including PIDS.

How it differs from DIRICKX Flood Barriers (FB-Units):

DIRICKX Systems states FB-UNITS are based on the design of the surface mounted EB-UNITS but are made to hold back flood waters. The HVM range uses EB-UNITS, whose stated purpose is blast, ballistic and Hostile Vehicle Mitigation, and the PS-01, which combines bespoke EB-UNITS with strengthened mesh fencing for a high security perimeter.
