Future Requirements of High Security Fence

Today, high security is more than just a taller fence. It is vehicle restraint systems designed to stop 10,000 pound vehicles traveling at 30+ mph from getting within one meter of the system. High security is now ballistic restrictive screening systems that fragment small arms fire. It’s sensing and alarming intruders who engage the perimeter.

American Fence Company of Iowa provides a fully comprehensive high security fence installation that meets and exceeds these exceptional requirements at the MidAmerican Energy Cordova Substation.  This project included over 4500 feet of fence and a wide array of crash rated and non-crash rated gate installations and operators.

With an October 10, 2017 completion date, American Fence Company of Iowa staffed the project with over 8 crews working 6 days a week. The Iowa branch beat the completion date and saved a great deal of estimated time.  After executing 3 months of work, installing almost $1M dollars of materials and creating a 10 foot high mile long screen, AFC-Iowa took only 20 minutes to finish their punch list.  Regardless of all this commendable efficiency and production, the branch is most proud of the fact that they did not have even one 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!
