(openPR) - Universal Safety Response (USR), the Franklin, Tennessee based manufacturer of the industry renowned - GRAB active vehicle barrier – is formally announcing that it has expanded its business scope to physical perimeter security.

The evolution has been ongoing over the last several months. The graduation of the company’s business model - according the company’s Vice-President Of Sales & Marketing – Wes Foss “was in response to both, demand from many of our clients, and the continued growth forecasted for the industry.”

By leveraging its existing product line and technical capabilities in the areas of access control planning and design, USR is well positioned to provide comprehensive perimeter security solutions.

The GRAB barriers are the flagship of the USR product line. The GRAB patented barrier design is owned and sold exclusively by USR. This unique barrier system is crash rated by the U.S. Department of State. With over seventy real world hits, no serious injuries or perimeter penetrations – the GRAB system is increasingly attracting the attention of security officials from the military, petrochemical, financial, transportation, and IT industries.

The USR portfolio includes products and services.

Products offered:
• Active Vehicle Barriers (GRAB, XMB Mobile Barrier, wedges, hydraulic bollards)
• Passive Barriers (bollards, reinforced fencing, and guardrails)
• Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS)
• Closed-Circuit Television Systems (CCTV)
• Access Control Buildings (canopies, guard houses, gate houses, over watch)

Services offered:
• Consulting
• Engineering & Design
• Project Management
• Maintenance
• Training

Currently there is accelerated interest and business coming from the petrochemical industry as it prepares to deal with security mandates enacted by Congress authorizing the Department of Homeland Security to enforce the Chemical Facilities Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS). The military sector is providing similar growth for USR. Much like the petrochemical industry, the military sector has been ordered to strengthen its security measures. In both sectors, USR has already installed security systems at sites nationwide with global expansion in the company’s sales pipeline.
