Concentric Extends Life of Vehicle Barriers, Saving Owners Millions Through a collaborative effort between its Vehicle Barrier Engineering, Controls Manufacturing and Field Service teams, Con- centric Security regularly solves barrier-related problems at a fraction of the cost of a new barrier. Security professionals and facility man- agers today are overwhelmed with safe- ty and security problems arising from aging, inoperable vehicle barriers. While vehicle barriers have been a principal anti- terrorism tool for decades, many in use today are years beyond their recommended lifecycle. The operational problems are expensive. Many owners simply turn barriers off and wait for capital funding to arrive to purchase a new one… a decision that may take years and leaves a facil- ity vulnerable to terrorist attack. • • Do your security professionals dread that call saying, “It’s broken again” or “We had another traffic accident because of the vehicle barri- er”? Are your facility management teams plagued with costly vehicle barrier repairs and down- time? A reliable, cost-effective solution does exists! Through a collaborative effort between its Vehicle Barrier Engineering, Controls Manufacturing and Field Service teams, Concentric Security regu- larly solves barrier-related problems at a fraction of the cost of a new barrier. 35
