The NMSB VIII is a bolt-down, single-buttress, surface mounted barrier and high security vehicle control barricade for intermediate to low threat security facilities. The NMSB VIII is engineer certified to stop a 10,000-pound vehicle traveling at 40 mph. The average barrier opening is 10' (3.05 meters). In the up position the top of the barrier is 24" to 28" (60.96 cm to 71.12 cm) above the road surface. Other widths are available, including custom sizes and configurations for bi-directional roads. Traffic Lights, Gatearms and other blast resistant structures may be integrated within existing buttress(es). This barrier can be operated manually without the aid of hydraulics or electric motors to provide the best in access control security.

Medium to Low Threat - Bolt Down Barrier:

• Certified to 534,400 foot-pounds-force (10,000 pounds at 40 mph)
• Pad mounted barrier that bolts down to an existing roadway or to an 8-inch thick concrete pad
• Single or double housing
• Ideal for Single or Dual-lane roadways
• Single barrier width from 10 to 24 feet
• Double barrier width to 30 feet
• Hot-dip galvanized
• Powered/manual operation

Models Available:

Models VIII, VIII-a & VIII-b

The NMSB VIII-a(b) is a bolt-down, double-buttress, surface-mounted barrier for intermediate to low threat security facilities. The NMSB VIII-a will stop an 8,000-pound vehicle traveling at 40 mph. The average barrier opening is 10' to 24' (3.05 meters to 7.32 meters). In the up position the top of the barrier is 24" to 28" (60.96 cm to 71.12 cm) above the road surface. Hot-dip galvanized for years of service. EPA approved, self-contained attached housing unit. Standard barrier deployment time is 3-5 seconds (available 1 second E-up option) at an average of 8 full cycles per minute. Manual Operation is eased w/o the aid of hydraulics or electric. NO weight restrictions. Traffic Lights and Gatearms may be integrated within existing buttress(es). Custom sizes and configurations are available.

Applications:

• All major points of entry
• Areas with a low or intermediate threat security level
• Areas where ease of installation and cost-efficiency are important
• Areas where it is not feasible to utilize below-ground barriers due to bedrock, high water tables, underground piping, cables or communication lines

Options:

The following options are added to enhance the performance and operation:

• Master control panel
• Remote control panel
• Indicator lights for barrier status
• Loop Detectors (safety)
• Traffic lights (red & yellow)
• Gate arm
• Loop Detectors (access control)
• Cardreader
• Hydraulic heat
• Slab heater
• E-up operation (approximately 1 second emergency raise time)
