The San Ysidro Land Port of Entry is the busiest land border crossing in the Western Hemisphere, processing more than 70,000 vehicles and 150,000 travelers every day. Designing high‑security, crash‑rated protection at this scale requires more than strength — it demands precision engineering, high‑throughput planning, and proven expertise in vehicle mitigation.
This award‑winning facility — honored with a Citation in Planning at the 2016 GSA Design Awards — integrates architecture, infrastructure, and specially engineered high‑security barrier systems into a seamless operational environment. Delta Scientific is proud to have been a core contributor to the security design, delivering crash‑rated, ballistic‑engineered, and high‑throughput solutions that safeguard officers, travelers, and critical infrastructure at the most demanding land port of entry in the world.
Featured High‑Security, Crash‑Rated Protection Systems:
Crash‑Rated, High‑Security Vehicle Mitigation & Ballistic‑Engineered Protection Systems
Engineered Solutions for Maximum Protection Standards & High‑Threat Environments
Delta Scientific delivers specially engineered, high‑security solutions designed to maximize protection standards, enhance throughput, and support mission‑critical operations. Featured systems include:
• Custom Guard Booths — purpose‑built for ballistic protection, officer wellness, and long‑term durability in high‑threat environments
• Duct Bank–Connected Booths — engineered to remove carcinogenic vehicle fumes and improve air quality for secure workspaces
• Radiant Heating & Cooling Systems — eliminates forced‑air pollutants while delivering clean, efficient climate control
• TT218E High‑Strength Beam Barriers — crash‑rated vehicle mitigation with a two‑second emergency fast‑operate speed
• TT212E Vehicle Access Control Barriers — optimized for high‑throughput environments requiring reliable, repeatable performance
• SCG1000 & SG2000 High‑Security Gates — specially engineered to stop a 15,000‑lb vehicle at varying impact speeds, delivering uncompromising perimeter defense
In 2020, a TT218E barrier at San Ysidro was put to the ultimate real-world test when a rogue passenger vehicle traveling at high speed struck the system in a closed lane. The barrier successfully stopped the threat, preventing further damage and validating its mission-critical performance.
For over fifty-one years, Delta Scientific has been the global authority in high-security vehicle mitigation, trusted by government agencies, architects, engineers, and security professionals worldwide.
