Ribbon cutting for security enhancements at DSCC

A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held for the $10.5 million security enhancements project at the Defense Supply Center Installation in Columbus, Ohio on Sept. 26, 2014.

The project provides better facilities to inspect incoming automobile traffic. The facility enables more efficient processing of visitors with the construction of a new main entrance gate, a 2,960 square foot visitor registration office, vehicle inspection canopies with gate house and guard house, and active/passive barriers meeting anti-terrorism/force protection security requirements.

The project involved relocating the entrance gate and constructing a new asphalt five traffic lane entrance road into the installation so the new gate along Yearling Road can now handle higher volumes of traffic and minimize delays.
