An embedded housing system storing cables below the surface in a protected environment, with a moveable surface lid lying flush with the existing surface and following the crown or slope across the travel path. The cables are readily raised out of the housing structure to obstruct traffic across the travel path, or lowered into the housing system to allow unobstructed traffic passage. Single cables, multiple cables, and utility lines can be enclosed and remain protected within the housing support structure. Once raised, the cables can be attached to an end support. The housing support structure is prefabricated in sections, selectively attached to match the existing crown or slope across the travel path, and then installed below the surface. The flush surface lid of the cable housing structure is only about 8 inches wide, and can be locked while in the closed position. Surface lid sections remain connected while opening simultaneously across the sloping travel path, using an interlocking mechanism. Rain water is inhibited from entering the housing support structure by the surface lid, but if it seeps inside, it will drain away by gravity. Ice and snow is melted by a heating device.

An embedded housing system storing cables below the surface in a protected environment, with a moveable surface lid lying flush with the existing surface and following the crown or slope across the travel path. The surface lid includes lid sections extending from the housing with at least one lid section having at least one edge extending from the housing at an angle. The cables are readily raised out of the housing structure to obstruct traffic across the travel path, or lowered into the housing system to allow unobstructed traffic passage. The housing support structure is prefabricated in sections, selectively attached to match the existing crown or slope across the travel path, and then installed below the surface.

A light weight, high strength cable supported by a longitudinal device that is capable of stopping a 15,000 lb vehicle at speeds exceeding 30 mph and provides for manual operation by one (1) person, whereas the barrier may pivot, move vertically, or swivel horizontally to control vehicle passage. Typically, the cable is embedded within a longitudinal support device and remains concealed. During normal operations where the vehicle barrier is moved, there is no tension on the cable and it remains unfastened. If a vehicle impact occurs, the cable immediately engages and fastens to the end support structures to resist vehicle impact forces. The light weight cable and longitudinal support device provides span distances exceeding 24 feet across a vehicle travel path, while requiring only one (1) person to manually move the barrier. The light weight cable and longitudinal support device also minimizes the counterweight size. The barrier may be moved by an operator from either side of the vehicle travel path.

There is provided a barrier system for stopping land-based and water-based vehicles from entering predetermined areas. The barrier system, which may protect relatively wide spans, is capable of stopping relatively high mass vehicles traveling at relatively high speeds. The barrier system comprises an anchoring system, vertical supports, an energy absorption unit, a gliding bar, and a net system. The gliding bar is selectively moveable relative to the energy absorption unit and may selectively define an unfixed mode wherein the gliding bar is moveable relative to the energy absorption unit and a fixed mode wherein the gliding bar is fixed relative to the energy absorption unit. The net system is connected to the gliding bar such that converting the gliding bar from the unfixed mode to the fixed mode raises the net system to prevent passage of vehicles.

A vehicle barrier system that stops unwanted vehicle intrusion, controls vehicle access, and protects assets and critical infrastructure. The vehicle barrier system, which can span up to 250 feet without requiring fixed intermediate supports, will stop a 15,000 lb vehicle traveling at impact speed of 50 mph. The barrier net is attached to vertical steel end supports anchored in concrete, and include energy absorbers, pivoting connections, and force equalization bars. The barrier net can remain in the “up” or “down” position, and can be raised or lowered using a winch powered by common 12 volt battery with solar power recharge. The barrier net and system components are modular, and can be easily installed or removed.
