Harsco’s GrateGuard™ High-Security Fencing Named Top New Product for Anti-Terrorism / Force Protection
April 20 2016 - 4:15PM
Global industrial company Harsco Corporation (NYSE:HSC) announced
today that its GrateGuard™ high-security fencing system has been
named the top new product for anti-terrorism and force protection
by the Security Industry Association (SIA) at its
recently-concluded International Security Conference &
Exposition, also known as ISC West. The conference is the largest
event in the United States for the physical security industry, with
over 28,000 in attendance.
The award, presented as part of the SIA’s New
Products Showcase, recognizes products that “reduce the
vulnerabilities, risks, or consequences of threats associated with
brute force attacks or other hostile actions against personnel,
facilities, and critical information.”
“The protection of vital infrastructure – from power grids and
water supplies to ports of entry, sensitive data centers, airports,
and borders – is critical to homeland security,” 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.”
Introduced this year, Harsco’s GrateGuard™ security fencing
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. Full details and product
specifications can be found at

The award recognition at the ISC West conference follows a
major, $10 million order recently announced by Harsco to supply
more than 12 miles of high-security fence for the 11,400 acre
Mexico City international airport, now starting construction.
Harsco’s GrateGuard™ fencing system will give the site critical
security protection throughout most of its perimeter. The Mexico
City airport award marks not only the first major order for
Harsco’s growing fencing product line, but also one of the largest
single orders ever received by the Harsco Industrial IKG division
overall.
Part of the Company’s Harsco Industrial operating segment, the
Harsco Industrial IKG division is one of the world’s leading
manufacturers of high-strength steel and aluminum bar grating,
serving power plants, refineries, shipyards and 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.
