AMIGUARD ANIMAL SHIELD™

The AMIGUARD ANIMAL SHIELD™ systems protect substations from small animals. The presence of herpetofauna (snakes, turtles, lizards, frogs, salamanders, etc.) in an electrical substation can cause a variety of system problems. This may include momentary disturbances of electrical systems, long-term system outages and severe damage to electrical equipment, leading to both a loss of revenue and a decline in customer satisfaction.

In addition, personal safety and health issues are always of high concern if operations personnel were to encounter a live animal. Wildlife entering a substation has the potential to lead to animal waste, carcasses and with this, the risk of disease.

The AMIGUARD ANIMAL SHIELD™ systems are available in two different designs, and are available in metal and non-metal, non-conductive versions:

AMIGUARD ANIMAL SHIELD™ 6100 & 7100
a fully integrated animal deterrence system

AMIGUARD ANIMAL SHIELD™ 5000
a traditional V-Shaped animal deterrence design

ANC ANIMAL SHIELD™ 2100 & 3100
a fully integrated, non-metal, non-conductive animal deterrence system

With our AMIGUARD ANIMAL SHIELD™ systems, AMICO Security developed the highest quality and reliable product for animal deterrence. The entire perimeter protection system including AMIGUARD® 8000 Series Gates have been designed with effective animal deterrence in mind.

DETAILS

AMIGUARD ANIMAL SHIELD™ 6100 & 7100

The AMIGUARD ANIMAL SHIELD™ 6100 & 7100 systems address the major drawbacks of the current animal mitigation systems in the market: costs and labor intensive installation. Since the attractive and highly effective designs are fully integrated into the AMIGUARD^® 6100 Security or AMIGUARD^® 7100 High Security fence panels there are no additional installation labor costs and no additional fasteners, therefore those systems are ideally suited for substation protection.

Each AMIGUARD^® 6000 and 7000 Series Security Mesh panel goes through a process of slitting and stretching metal sheet to form the desired style. During the production of the Animal Shield 6100 and 7100 Mesh the industrial press creates a 2’ high solid plane of metal, fully integrated into the regular AMIGUARD^® 6100 Security or AMIGUARD^® 7100 High Security fence panels.

FOR BROCHURE

AMIGUARD® ANIMAL SHIELD™ 5000

The AMIGUARD^® ANIMAL SHIELD™ 5000 V-Shaped design is based on the oldest animal deterrence design in the market, first patented in 1891.

The AMIGUARD® ANIMAL SHIELD™ 5000 mounts against the top Infini-Rail^® which is an integral part of the AMIGUARD^® and CHAMELEON^® Perimeter systems frameworks. The 14 Ga design provides rigidity without any additional labor intensive braces.

ANC ANIMAL SHIELD™ 2100 & 3100

The ANC ANIMAL SHIELD™ 2100 & 3100 systems address the major drawbacks of the current animal mitigation systems in the market: costs and labor intensive installation. Since the attractive and highly effective designs are fully integrated into the ANC SAFEGUARD™ Meshes there are no additional installation labor costs and no additional fasteners, therefore those systems are ideally suited for substation protection.

ANC ANIMAL SHIELD™ 2100 & 3100 combines the benefit of the metal AMIGUARD ANIMAL SHIELD™ 6100 & 7100 with the non-metal ANC® Non Conductive fence system. ANC ANIMAL SHIELD™ 2100 & 3100 deters animals and protects against unforeseen occurrences related to touch and step potential.

AMIGUARD^® & CHAMELEON^® PERIMETER SYSTEM

The three AMIGUARD ANIMAL SHIELD™ designs are fully integrated into our AMIGUARD^® and CHAMELEON^® Perimeter Systems. The AMIGUARD^® Perimeter System is a patented “unitized” system which incorporates innovative components. Tied together this creates a total curtain wall perimeter barrier.

Chameleon^®uses a bypass rail system which is very flexible in terms of post spacing and offers a great variety of fence infills. Infills range from expanded metal panels to welded wire panels and palisade fencing.

AMIGUARD’s and CHAMELEON’s unique approach incorporates innovative solutions to solve common high security concerns including aesthetics, a seamless design, and ease of installation. The AMICO Security system allows you to incorporate various types of infill panels, making it the most versatile high security option on the market.

AMIGUARD^® and CHAMELEON^® Perimeter Systems are available in both galvanized, powder coated and duplex coating finishes, with up to a 10-year limited warranty.
