IRVING, Texas, Jan 11, 2002 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Integrated Security Systems, Inc. (IZZI, Trade) today announced the receipt of an order for its CR 25 anti-terrorist crash barrier from one of the nation's major oil companies by its wholly owned subsidiary, B&B Electromatic, Inc. This is the third refining/chemical facility from the same company to utilize the CR 25 to enhance security at entrances to the facilities.
"In our previous announcements covering the first two orders from this source we stated that we expected the remaining 7 domestic U.S. refining facilities to follow the lead of the first two sites," stated Jack Caldwell, President and CEO of B&B. "We are pleased with the receipt of this third order and are working closely with the fourth facility and next expected order that will cover 7 entrances and 8 internal traffic control points within one of this company's largest refineries/chemical plants."

B&B's CR 25 anti-terrorist crash barrier comes in both a manual and electrical version. Each version has a vertical to horizontal arm, is equipped with an energy absorption cable assembly and weatherproof housing. The manual version has been successfully crash tested to U.S. Navy specifications OR-98-09-88 and M-56-86-05 with a level 1/L2 rating and Department of the Army rating level of KN1-LN2. It is listed by the US Army Corps of Engineers in their document Protection Against Malevolent Use of Vehicles at Nuclear Power Plants (NUREG/CR-6190 Vol. 2, Rev. 1). The electrical version has the same physical characteristics as the manual version.
