Aramco Type I Fencing: Technical Specifications and Security Standards
The Aramco Type I Fence is one of the most important engineering solutions adopted for securing vital facilities, petroleum sites, and major industrial projects in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This system is specifically designed to withstand the harshest operating conditions and desert environments while providing maximum protection and access control.
1. Product overview and uses
Aramco's Type 1 fencing is used to enclose sensitive facilities requiring stringent security standards to prevent infiltration or breaches. It features high structural strength and exceptional stability against various weather conditions and high wind pressure.
2. Main Technical Specifications
The system consists of high-quality steel elements that conform to Saudi Aramco's exacting engineering standards:
- Fence height: Designed with reinforced standard heights to ensure comprehensive perimeter protection.
- Columns and supports: Hot-dip galvanized steel pipes of precisely defined thicknesses and diameters to provide structural rigidity and withstand tensile and compressive forces.
- Chain Link: Galvanized steel wire with high tensile strength, designed in a way that prevents climbing and prevents corrosion and rust in the long term.
- Overhead barbed wire: The first type is distinguished by its support with overhead barbed wire (regular or spiral) inclined at carefully considered geometric angles to reinforce the defensive lines and prevent any attempt to cross.
3. Quality and supply standards
- Durability and corrosion resistance: All pipes and metal parts are subject to galvanizing processes according to standard specifications to protect the metal from rust caused by moisture and climatic factors.
- Field installation: Requires precise execution that includes pouring reinforced concrete foundations to stabilize the columns and achieve complete straightness and cohesion of the fence.
