First Claim
Patent Images
1. a breach protection barrier, comprising:
- an above ground portion constructed entirely or in part of a panels made of an FRP thick laminate, fabricated using the Vacuum Infusion Process, the laminate characterized by;
the laminate thickness resulting from a plurality of plies,a resin content of at least 28% by weight; and
,greater than 25% of the fibers oriented in the height direction and greater than 25% oriented in the width direction, with the orientations maintained in each ply of the laminate.

Abstract
This invention is a novel system for resisting barrier breach resulting from kinetic energy (i.e. ramming impacts). It consists of lightweight, sectional or continuous barriers made of a breach resistant fiber reinforced polymer resin matrix composite, which may be fabricated on site. The barriers are lightweight and thin enough that they may be used in many spaces where barriers made from conventional construction materials are impossible, impractical, or undesirable.

19. A method of constructing a breach resistant barrier on site, comprising:
-
Providing a controlled environment at or near the barrier installation site, providing a tool which allows for forming of barrier sections, fabricating and curing sections in the controlled environment; and
,using the sections produced in the controlled environment to form a barrier pattern. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
