Fire axe versus AMICO’s ANC® Fencing
The ANC®
System Advantage
Total Perimeter Solution
The ANC® system was developed as a total perimeter solution to offer a safe, aesthetically pleasing, non-conductive, radar friendly alternative to traditional security fencing. ANC® non-conductive security fencing is growing rapidly in popularity and has many applications and advantages.
- Savings – can be less expensive than the overall installed cost of grounded chain link fence
- Security – M5 security rating in compliance with the ASTM standards
- ANC Security Fence can be installed to meet any layout or grade changes
- Tested to be non-conductive
- ANC Security Fence is 100% non-metallic and corrosion resistant
- ANC Security Fence has been installed up to 20ft high
- ANC Security Fence can be retrofitted to existing metallic posts
- Pedestrian and vehicle swing and slide gates
ANC Security Fence capsheets are available to deter climbing- Panels are light enough for a 2-man crew

Power & Energy Sector
Secure Substations and Power Facilities
Secure substations, power facilities and energy companies throughout the world are becoming increasingly aware that ANC® non-conductive security perimeter fence is the best solution to eliminate unforeseen occurrences related to touch and step potential.
ANC® non-conductive security fence can help to ensure that the general population living around and that power employees who work around substations are safer. Dielectric tests have been conducted by a certified laboratory in which leakage current and flashover voltage tests revealed no electrical conductivity. As population centers evolve, the need for added safety and security is required.

Radar Friendly Perimeter System
Airports and Aviation Sector
As the need for airport security increases, AMICO® has the answer. Airports throughout the globe are searching for perimeter systems that won’t interfere with radar signals. While traditional high-security metal fencing systems reflect radar, creating false images, the ANC® non-conductive security fence significantly reduces this interference. In addition to being safe and secure, ANC® provides a clean aesthetically pleasing look that blends into the landscape.

The ANC® Composite Security Fence System
The ANC® Composite Fence System combines non-conductivity and security into an easy to install solution for the energy, air, and marine transportation industries. The system can be installed as new or retrofit construction and steel posts can be used depending upon the recommendation from your grounding engineer. Metal posts and fittings are available.
Threaded fasteners bolt through the panels and tighten up securely using AMICO® panel plugs.
All fence components are available non-metallic and non-conductive.
The materials and information contained herein are designed as a guideline for selecting and planning a non-conductive barrier. Your grounding engineer must assess and approve the final specification.
