In response to market demand for fost closing
vehicle gales wih the maximum US Dept. of
State capability rating of KI2, LDI developed a
cost-effective, high-speed closing gate
concept. LDI dees not maintain cn in-house

KES provided engineering expertise to
‘complement LOI'sindusty-specitic knowledge
fo davolop the K12s gato. In order to meet KI2
standards, it must step a 15,000 pound truck
string at 50 mph. Additionaly it had to be
suitable for industrial, miltary, embassy and
other secure facies world-wide,
The design evolved as cost, security
‘and fabrication challenges were
Identiiec ons overcome. Bast
modeling was used to ensure it
could withstand suicide bombers

structural response of the various
components os well os how fast the gate could be closed. Solid modeling not
only provided geometries for analysis it was also used for fabrication drawings,
