Ideal Fencing Corp — A RoadGuard Company

Industrial Fencing, Security & Access Control for Manufacturing, Energy, and Critical Infrastructure

Industrial facility managers do not have the luxury of shutting down operations for a fencing project. Your plant runs 24/7, your loading docks are moving product around the clock, and your regulatory compliance does not pause while a contractor figures out how to work around you...

Challenges We Solve

  • Fencing contractors unfamiliar with industrial safety requirements
  • Crews that cannot pass background checks for secure facilities
  • Projects that disrupt production operations and loading dock access
  • Contractors unwilling to work nights, weekends, or shutdown windows
  • Non-compliant fencing that fails regulatory audit (NERC, OSHA, CFATS)
  • Gate systems that break down under high-cycle industrial use
  • Security gaps during extended construction periods
  • Contractors who treat facility security protocols as optional

Why Industrial Facility Managers Choose Us

**OSHA 30-Hour Certified Crews**: Every field employee holds OSHA 30-Hour Construction Safety certification. For facilities with additional safety requirements — confined space, lockout/tagout, arc flash, H2S, or hazardous atmosphere — our crews complete your site-specific safety orientation before starting work. We carry our own PPE inventory beyond hard hats and high-vis: flame-resistant clothing, metatarsal boots, respiratory protection, and fall protection equipment are standard kit.

**Background-Checked Personnel**: For data centers, energy infrastructure, government-adjacent facilities, and any site with access control requirements, our crew members undergo criminal background checks. We comply with facility escort policies, photography restrictions, restricted work hours, and security badge requirements without treating these as disruptions to our schedule.

**After-Hours and Weekend Work**: Many industrial fencing projects must be completed outside of production hours. We schedule and execute night shifts, weekend installations, and holiday shutdown window projects. Our project pricing accounts for off-hours work from the proposal stage — no surprise overtime charges.

**Zero Production Disruption Planning**: Before we mobilize, our project manager walks your facility with your operations team to identify active loading docks, vehicle lanes, pedestrian paths, utility feeds, and production-critical equipment that must remain accessible. We develop a phased installation plan that maintains facility operations throughout the project. Temporary fencing and barrier protection are installed before permanent fencing work begins in sensitive areas.

Industrial Fencing and Security Systems

**High-Security Perimeter Fencing**: 358 anti-climb mesh, welded steel panels, and palisade fencing for facilities requiring maximum perimeter protection. Suitable for NERC CIP compliance (energy), TIA-942 requirements (data centers), API security standards (petroleum), and CFATS requirements (chemical facilities). Heights from 8 to 12 feet with razor coil extensions and detection system integration conduit.

**Chain Link and Industrial Standard Fencing**: Commercial-grade chain link for general industrial perimeters, equipment enclosures, storage yards, and buffer zones. Vinyl-coated and powder-coated options for corrosive environments — chemical plants, coastal facilities, and areas with de-icing chemical exposure.

**Access Control Gate Systems**: Cantilever slide gates, vertical pivot gates, and barrier arms for controlled vehicle entry and exit. Integrated with industrial access control platforms (HID, LenelS2, Genetec) and facility management systems. High-cycle operators rated for the 500,000+ operations that industrial facilities demand. Anti-tailgating and vehicle detection loops for security-critical entry points.

**Safety and Containment Fencing**: Machine guarding enclosures, fall protection barriers, chemical storage perimeters, and restricted area delineation. Compliance with OSHA machine guarding standards (29 CFR 1910 Subpart O) and facility-specific safety requirements.

**Temporary Construction Fencing**: When your facility undergoes expansion, renovation, or equipment installation, our temporary fencing separates active construction zones from operating facility areas. Anti-climb panels, debris netting, and sound barriers are available for projects adjacent to occupied spaces.

Industry-Specific Expertise

**Energy and Utilities**: NERC CIP physical security requirements for substations and generation facilities. Security fencing, access control, and anti-climb systems that meet or exceed critical infrastructure protection standards. Experience at refineries, processing plants, solar farms, wind facilities, and power plants across our service territory.

**Data Centers**: TIA-942 physical security tier requirements. 358 mesh anti-climb fencing and mantrap-style vehicle gates for tier III and IV facilities. Background-checked crews with zero-photography compliance. Experience at facilities in Hillsboro OR, Quincy WA, Aurora CO, West Jordan UT, and Albuquerque NM.

**Manufacturing**: Perimeter security, loading dock access control, and interior safety fencing for manufacturing campuses. Experience with automotive, aerospace, food processing, pharmaceutical, and general manufacturing facilities.

**Water and Wastewater**: Security fencing and access control for water treatment plants, pump stations, reservoir facilities, and collection system infrastructure. Compliance with AWIA (America's Water Infrastructure Act) security requirements.

Investment and Scheduling

Industrial fencing projects range from $50,000 for a standard perimeter upgrade to $500,000+ for a comprehensive high-security installation with access control integration. Our proposals include detailed phasing plans, operations impact assessments, and firm pricing that accounts for after-hours work, security requirements, and facility-specific logistics. Project timelines typically run 4 to 12 weeks depending on scope and material lead times.
