Fencing

FRP fencing systems for rail applications are non-metal security fences made of pultruded or molded composite panels and posts. These fences provide perimeter protection for sensitive areas (e.g. substations, depots, embankments) while being electrically non-conductive. Fiberglass-reinforced panels are available in security mesh or solid forms. FRP fence components resist rust, rot, and corrosion in all climates. Advanced designs can be anti-climb and nearly invisible to radar, making them ideal for critical infrastructure.

Key Features

  • Non-Conductive: Electrically insulating fence components prevent unintended grounding or signal interference.
  • High Strength: Pultruded FRP sections have excellent impact and tensile strength despite low weight.
  • Non-Magnetic / RF-Transparent: Does not affect sensitive electronic systems (invisible to RF/microwave transmissions).
  • Fire Retardant: Many systems meet flammability requirements (self-extinguishing resins).
  • Anti-Cutting / Anti-Climb Options: Special weaves and coatings make the fence resistant to cutting tools and torches.

Benefits

  • Secure Barrier: Provides robust security without the corrosion vulnerabilities of steel or aluminum fences.
  • Low Total Cost: Long service life and minimal maintenance (no repainting or anti-corrosion treatment needed).
  • Ease of Installation: Light panels bolt into pultruded posts; no specialized labor. Posts can be made to fit standard steel posts if needed.
  • Aesthetics: Available in various colors and meshes; can be low-visibility if required (custom colors, see-through panels).

Applications

  • Perimeter fencing for railway substations, control centers, and depots
  • Protective barriers around high-voltage equipment and transformer yards
  • Noise or wind barriers with integrated fence panels (custom acoustic/solid options)
  • Any area requiring a strong, insulated fence (e.g. electrified yards)

Technical Specifications

  • Material: Fiberglass-reinforced polyester or epoxy
  • Panel Sizes: Common panel widths ~1.0–2.5 m, heights 2–3 m; mesh or solid
  • Post Types: Square, round, or H-post pultrusions sized to load requirements
  • Standards: Meets Fencing/Hazard Codes; many are in compliance with IEC/Railway standards for electrical safety

Unique Selling Points (USPs)

  • Invisible to Radar/Microwaves: FRP fence does not reflect radio waves, avoiding interference
  • Chemical Resistance: Impervious to salt spray, fertilizers, pool chemicals – suitable for coastal or industrial sites
  • Patented Security Features: Some FRP fences (e.g. AIMS ENC®) are engineered so that any cut hole cannot be enlarged beyond the initial cut
