Corus Launch the Quick Link Lite Vehicle Reveal Unveils ArrayCT™
Barrier System
Reveal Imaging Technologies, Inc. has unveiled ArrayCT™, a revolutionary
X-ray detection system for screening baggage at the checkpoint.

system took place at the G20 Summit, which was held in London in April.
The system comprises ‘T’ and ‘Z’ shaped barrier units, made from Bi-
Steel, a Corus patented high performance steel/concrete composite
material, which can be connected together to create a flexible, surface
mounted system to directly address the requirements of a wide range of
security-sensitive site layouts.
Quick Link Lite incorporates several unique features that enable it to be
installed very quickly and then be easily removed after use or the layout
reconfigured as required. The reduced weight of the individual units
means that they can be rapidly loaded for delivery, whilst their small
footprint allows a greater number to be stacked together on one vehicle.
Installation is very straightforward – barriers are off-loaded by lorry-
mounted crane, and lowered directly into position, providing flexible yet
highly robust linking. Careful design of the system has negated the need
for foundations or permanent securing points, eliminating the requirement
for time consuming and potentially damaging road surface fixings. Steel
buttresses are connected at intervals to the rear of the barriers to provide
