HIGHWAYS, RAILWAYS AND ANIMAL FENCE SYSTEM

OVERVIEW:
For protecting long lengths of highways and railway tracks where a fast, economic and effective fence system is demanded. We strongly recommend the steel fence post and ground socket proven method – no digging – no concrete – fast installation times.

USE:
For protection of road and rail networks, and agricultural areas against animals and casual intruders.

SIZE:
Fence heights from 1m to 2.50m above ground

CLADDING:
Many types of wire cladding can be used on the steel post system:

a) Plain or barbed horizontal wires
b) Woven chain link mesh with 40mm or 50mm aperture
c) Welded square or rectangular mesh in roll form
d) Stock mesh with or without barbed wire. This available in high tensile wire, light and heavyweight, roll width from 800mm to 244mm wide and roll length from 100m to 500m. The latter with tractor mounted quickfencer system (see illustration)

POSTS:

The post system is the unique feature. A ground socket with a flat thrust plate welded on is driven into the ground at 3m to 4m centres by pneumatic hammer and the post is dropped in until it engages in two flanges that make it non-removable.

The posts made from high quality steel, cold rolled to form 50mm x 50mm nominal square section with clipping points of 100mm centres. Posts stand up to 2.50m above ground.

Ground sockets 1m long driven into ground, 600mm and 400mm protruding, with tops of thrust plate at finished ground level. Longer sockets available for soft terrain. Main post then attached.

End, intermediate and corner straining posts available with raking 45° struts and additional back struts for corners fixed with 600 mm long heavy pins.

Straining of the cladding, if required, is usually devised by the installer company i.e. radiusseurs, hook bolts, eyebolts, barrel bolts, ratchet strainers, flat bars etc.

OPTIONAL FIEATURES:

1 Posts with 45° cranked extensions for barbed wire.

2 Extension brackets to raise the height of existing fences

3 Ground sockets with baseplate with 4 fixing points for bolting to existing flat, hard surfaces.

FINISH:
All products are hot dipped galvanised. Additional plastic coating, Green RAL 6005 also available and recommended in rural areas.

INSTALLATION:
The ease of installation is the primary feature of this highways, railways and agricultural fence system. No digging or concreting is required. The system adapts to curves and sloping fence lines. Ground sockets can be mounted to suit soft ground or rocky conditions.

Up to 1.50km of this fence can be installed on normal ground in a single day with a 10 to 12 man team and plant.
