GrateGuard™ began as a solution to a common security
concern: How best to provide a high strength security barrier
physically capable of withstanding a concerted intrusion
effort? Current market offerings of chain link fencing,
ornamental iron or aluminum, welded wire and expanded metal all
provide a visual deterrent, but each lacks in the critical ability
to thwart a well-equipped breach.
”The security needs of the world have increased substantially
over the past decade, not only at airports but also to protect the
critical infrastructure of power grids and water supplies as
well as ports of entry, railroads and borders,” said Bob Masten,
product manager at the Harsco Industrial IKG division. “With
GrateGuard™, we’re responding directly and effectively to these
increasing needs with a new solution unlike anything else on the
market, one that provides the ultimate in deterrence, delay and
denial to attempted security breaches.”
GrateGuard™ draws on more than 100 years of Harsco Industrial
IKG division leadership in the production of high strength
industrial bar grating. Like its durable grating cousin,
GrateGuard™ is fabricated from heavy duty steel bar and rod stock
that is fusion welded for superior strength and rigidity along the
entire panel structure. GrateGuard’s imposing presence and
high strength-to-weight ratio deliver a substantial, first-line
deterrence against potential intrusion.
Moreover, GrateGuard’s modular design and unique, patent pending
framework of high strength posts, rails and brackets enables entire
fencing perimeters to be quickly erected over variable terrain with
less labor and waste than conventional systems.
Configurations are available up to 20 feet in height. Full
details and product specifications can be found at

Harsco’s Industrial IKG division, part of the Company’s Harsco
Industrial operating segment, has been one of the world’s leading
manufacturers of high-strength steel and aluminum bar grating for

factories with versatile open-grid safety walkways, flooring and
architectural structures. The division operates production
plants in North America and China and serves a broad array of
applications throughout the world.
