High Security Fence Future Requirements
Today, high security is more than just a tall fence. It’s sensing and alarming intruders who engage the perimeter. High security is a now ballistic restrictive screening system that fragments small arms fire. It is a vehicle restraint system designed to stop 10,000 lb vehicles traveling at 30+ MPH from getting within one meter of the system.
American Fence Company of Iowa provided a fully comprehensive high security fence installation that met and exceeded these incredible requirements at the MidAmerican Energy Cordova Substation. This project included over 4500 ft of fence and a wide variety of crash rated and non-crash rated operators and gate installations.
With an October 10, 2017 completion date, American Fence Company of Iowa staffed this project with over 8 crews who worked 6 days a week. The Iowa branch beat their completion date and saved a great deal of estimated time. After completing three months of work, installing almost $1,000,000 of materials and creating a mile long 10 ft high screen, AFC-Iowa took only twenty minutes to finish their punch list. Regardless of all this outstanding efficiency and production, the branch is most proud of the fact that they did not have a single workplace accident.
In the words of Jeff Husmann, AFC-Iowa Branch Manager, “We really kicked ass on this job. The owner and the general contractor could not say enough good things about our foreman, our ability to man the project and our superintendent.”
Congratulations to American Fence Company of Iowa!
