Anti-Projectile Fence: A-1 Fence Middle East

The?Middle East?is known for its large oil producing capacity but what has caught attention lately are the inexplicable back to back drone attacks on Oil & Gas refineries, Fuel Storage Depots and pumping stations. These attacks made several headlines and escalated to a high priority issue that required immediate addressal.

Presenting Anti-Projectile Fence-

Also known as Anti-Drone Fence, this fence is built to safeguard your asset from objects that are thrown or shot forwards with force. The news of?increasing drone attacks in Middle East’s oil & gas facilities spread like wildfire and paved the way for a solution that could take control of the situation.

A-1 Fence proactively became the only fencing company to work with global market leaders manufacturing very high strength steel mesh to provide an option to secure the asset from all sides and the top at the same time. We have proactively chosen the right market leaders who could provide the right product for this?Engineered Solution.

The unique design of the Anti-Projectile fence gives vitality to the structure. The design comprises of three major competent elements:

• 3-D Space Lattice Columns: A strong foundation is an undeniably important aspect of every being living or nonliving. The Lattice columns form the pillars of the fence. Designed to look like a bow it consists of?three bent pipes and triangular reinforcements in between?for extra rigidity. It provides 35% weight saving and load carrying capacity over other ordinary pipes. Optimized for sustaining high wind loads these columns can be mounted to a height of up to 30m.
• High Tensile Rhomboid Mesh: This mesh forms a cloak over the asset that is almost invisible to the naked eye from a distance as its 82mm mesh width allows superior visibility on either side. The tensile wires possess the strength of 1770 MPa eliminating?the need to use thick wires thereby reducing the overall system weight.?
• Stay Cables: Stay cables are metal ropes attached to the lattice columns that are made to counterbalance the entire system. These stay cables ensure that the columns fall away from the asset and not on the asset in case of an airborne projectile attack. It is used to divert the tension to a different portion of land.

The system possesses the capacity of sustaining the drone size of anywhere between 250gm to 4kg at the speed of upto 80kmph and wind load of 160kmph. The anti-projectile fence can effectively function creating a barrier for projectiles.
