Anti-ram system from ASF

Australian Security Fencing's (ASF) new Anti Ram Barrier System by Gibraltar is a cable barrier system created to withstand the impact of a vehicular attack.

The system covers all ratings, from K-4 through to K-12, to fit the desired level of security.

The barrier system is built to US Standard ASTM F2656-07 to achieve the highest possible penetration rating of L3.

To achieve this level of protection, the fence and gate system must be able to successfully arrest a 6,804kg (15,000lb) truck travelling at 80kph (50mph) with a maximum load penetration from the original fence line of one meter.

The ASF Anti Ram Barrier System by Gibraltar has successfully completed multiple live tests to meet this standard in both the US and the UK (PAS68:2007 Specification for Vehicle Security Barriers).

Cables are run in single unbroken lengths (up to 610 metres) with clamped cable collars at every post, including intermediate posts - a feature that effectively contains the loading on impact along the intermediate posts rather than relying on the end posts to cope with the full loading.

The system may be used as a stand-alone system, or may be installed combined with or retro-fitted to any existing high-security fence - including Securemax and Corromesh - or into any typical boundary fencing, including chain link, ornamental iron, mesh, or vertical bar.
