Security Measures for Government Facilities

Wednesday, July 23rd, 2014

At Hercules High Security, we are no stranger to the security demands for government facilities and buildings. Some of our signature projects have included work for many government facilities, including the U.S. Secret Service, the State Department, the Pentagon, the CIA, the FBI, and the Federal Reserve, among others. Though these facilities all have the shared characteristic of needing top-notch security measures enforced, the individual security needs of a project can vary from place to place. What are some of the security measures most commonly used for government facilities? Hercules High Security can list a few.

 Crash-rated Fence

High security facilities need to be protected from a wide range of intruders, and this includes intruders that use vehicles to break in. Crash-rated fences are the answer to this threat. Crash-rated fences are designed with different ratings to indicate that they will be able to stop a certain weight of vehicle from crashing through the fence at a certain speed.

Turnstiles and Guard Booths

Creating an entry point that is heavily monitored is essential to maintaining the safety and security of your government facility. Turnstiles that require security clearance to pass through are vital elements of your security integration, as are guard booths, which allow a human set of eyes to see each person who enters your facility.

Anti-Terrorism Cable

For additional crash defense and resistance capacity, anti-terrorism cable comes in a variety of designs that can be customized for your facility. Anti-terrorism cable can be used in addition to high security fencing in order to ensure the highest level of protection for your government facility.

How can Crash-Rated Bollards Improve My Security?

Monday, July 14th, 2014

Sometimes in order to keep the perimeter of a high security area safe, you have to come up with some creative solutions. In many cases, those looking to secure a facility know that while cars and trucks may need to be kept out, people do need to be allowed in! A high security fence, while an effective safety measure, is often used to keep out all kinds of traffic, foot traffic included. However, by using crash-rated bollards, you can deter any vehicles from entering your property while still making it clear that people are allowed and capable of entering. Hercules Fence High Security can install quality, crash-rated bollards to serve your purposes.

What exactly is a crash-rated bollard? Bollards are short, metal pillars that make it impossible for cars and other vehicles to pass through onto a property. Stainless steel bollards provide a modern look, while concrete bollards can be designed to be more ornamental and visually appealing, as well as practical. Whatever the design is, crash-rated bollards serve an important purpose in keeping out unwanted cars while allowing pedestrians to enter the property as needed. Crash-rated bollards are just that, crash-tested and determined to be strong enough to keep out even fast-moving vehicles. Do you need a little more flexibility in your design? Crash-rated bollards can be made to be retractable so that during designated hours, vehicles can enter the property and during off hours, they cannot.

Are crash-rated bollards the security solution you’ve been looking for? Call Hercules Fence High Security today to have them installed on your property!
