Electric Station Fence

Electric Substation Fencing for Restricted Areas

Over the past few years, Steelvent has manufactured numerous high-security fencing systems and gates for various electrical substations across Hungary, providing customised solutions for demanding security requirements.

In a recent project, Steelvent installed a Toldi fencing system at the 132 kV Paks Nyugat substation operated by E.ON Dél-dunántúli Áramhálózati Zrt.

Manufacturing and Technology

The Toldi 3D fence panels are mounted on pre-drilled, laser-cut square hollow-section steel posts (60 × 60 × 3 mm). This design allows for secure installation and provides a robust fencing solution for restricted-access areas. Similar substation and transformer station fencing systems can be adapted to specific project requirements.

The fence panels feature a 55 × 200 mm mesh size, four reinforcing bends and 5 mm diameter wires. A 6 mm wire diameter is also available upon request. Depending on the post and panel configuration, the fence panels can be secured using steel stirrup clamps or A2 stainless steel hook bolts with tamper-resistant shear nuts. Steelvent also offers other fencing solutions, including the Árpád ST18 fencing system.

Surface Treatment

The steel structures are manufactured using galvanised steel (DX51D+Z) with a nominal zinc coating mass of 275 g/m², providing corrosion protection. Following appropriate surface preparation, including degreasing and adhesion-enhancing pretreatment, the components receive a UV-stabilised powder coating with a specified minimum thickness of 60 µm.

This combination of galvanisation, surface preparation and powder coating provides additional protection against environmental exposure and supports long-term durability.

Steelvent operates an integrated manufacturing process at its own facility, including wire processing, powder coating and curing equipment. The machining and welding of hollow-section steel structures are supported by advanced technologies, including tube laser cutting and laser welding equipment.
