Maritime Security Barrier Systems & Installation

We have provided construction services for more than 100 years for marine-based infrastructure. In 2022, we acquired Harbor Offshore, Inc. (HOI).

HOI is known globally as the standard for maritime security protection and is the first company licensed by the US Navy to reproduce its waterside perimeter barrier system for commercial application. HOI's experts joined our team, bringing their trademarked Harbor Offshore Barriers™ systems to our clients.

Fixed Security Barrier (FSB) System — US Patent #7,744,313

Our Fixed Security Barrier (FSB) System stops a boat’s progress in milliseconds yet remains capable of stopping a second or even a third swarm attack. Our FSB system is low maintenance, attack resistance, and long-lasting, even in the roughest seas.

Our fixed security barrier system is designed to be permanent and installed in place to stop:

  • Fast Inshore Attack Crafts (FIAC)
  • Boat-Borne Improvised Explosive Devices (BBIED)
  • Multiple Boat Attacks
  • Intruders at full power before, during, and after impact
  • Underwater Penetration

Floating Port Security Barrier (PSB) Systems

Our floating barriers have low maintenance costs and protect your waters from attacks and unwanted intruders.

Examples of our various Port Security Barrier (PSB) models:


  • PSB 600™ Port Security Barrier System
    Our PSB 600™ is the current standard anti-terrorist port security barrier system for commercial installation. It employs a continuous net capture system supported on a floating pontoon structure.

  • PSB-T™ Port Security Barrier System
    Our PSB-T is a maritime barrier security system the US Navy uses and is suitable for military and civilian use. It is designed to stop FIACC, BBIED, and multiple boat and swarm attacks, among others.

  • PSB 5500™ Port Security Barrier System
    Our PSB 5500™ anti-terrorist system employs a continuous net capture system supported on a pontoon structure. This marine barrier system has the highest ultimate stopping energy (9.09M FT-LBF/12,337 kJ) and working stopping energy (5,500,000 FT-LBF/24.46 MN) of the Harbor Offshore Barriers’ anti-terrorism systems.
