German company Heras Adronit expanded its Vegasonic soundwall lineup. The newest type is called Sonitec and absorbs sound by up to 29 dB. The wall is made from recycled en reclaimable plastic.

The Sonitec wall is equipped with two diff erent sides. A smooth, closed one towards

the street, refl ecting the noise, throwing the noise back towards the street as it were. A perforated surface on the other side absorbs sounds made by the user himself. The sound penetrates the 12mm holes and is absorbed by the mineral wool core. This enables an sound reduction of up to 29 dB on the refl ective side and up to 10 dB on the absorbing side.

Environmentally conscious

The ecological aspect of this soundwall is very important: the Sonitec panels are produced from plastic that was already used in another product. For each panel manufactured, existing plastic is extruded. The material can be reused in the same fashion at the end of the panel lifetime. According to Heras Andronit, the plastic is guaranteed to

be UV proof for years and colourfast.

Just like Lego bricks

The Sonitec wall is built from standard panels, simply stacked on to each other, in between steel profi les. As the panels are available in several colours, the wall is easily adapted to its envi-ronment or to company colours. The nice looks make it unneces-sary to have the wall overgrown with plants.

Perimeter Protection Perimeter Protection show drawing nearshow drawing near

Europe’s largest fencing expo will Europe’s largest fencing expo will take place from January 17th till take place from January 17th till 19th in Nuremberg, Germany19th in Nuremberg, Germany

Only a little over a month to go and it’s there: from January 17th through 19th, the Perimeter Protection Show will take place in Nuremberg. With about 80 exhi-bitors the young fair, being held for the second time only, is the largest trade fair in the European fencing industry.

The international show combines the variety of mechanical fencing systems with electronic perimeter security. The large number of exhibitors not only consists of large and small producers and suppliers of fencing systems, turn- and sliding gates, automatic barriers and bollards, speedgates, gate and door locks, acces-sories and even barbed wire, but also of producers of every possible access control system (like turnstiles and other entrance control equipment), electric gate drives, gate controllers and gate safety, as well as electronic perimeter protection like video security systems, detection systems and so on. The exhibitors come from Austria, Belgium, Germany, Great Britain, the Netherlands and Switzerland.

A dedicated show for the fencing industry

The Perimeter Protection is a shared initia-tive of the private trade show organiser H&K Messe and the German Fencing Association MZT, Fachverband Metallzauntechnik e.V.

“Our industry never had its own internati-onal trade show. It always had to use the large building or security shows like the BAU Munich, SICUREZZA Milan, BATIMAT Paris or SECURITY Essen,” says managing director of the MZT, Friedrich Klopotek. “Exhibitors from our industry always had to filter their customers from a large range of broadly interested visitors. On the other hand, the large shows never were really interesting for the visitors interested in fencing, as the number of exhibitors from the industry was small and spread out over several halls. For these reasons, the idea of organizing a trade show for the fencing industry itself existed for a long time already, even my predecessor worked on it, but the industry was simply never big enough for its own internati-onal show.”

Perimeter Security is a growing market

“All this changed, as in the second half of the past decade the call for more and especi-ally more integrated security could not be ignored anymore,” states Klopotek.

“Sea- and airports, public rail projects and other potentially dangerous infrastruc-tures were restricted by more and more safety regulations, especially by Brussels, not to mention the specific regulations of the custodial institutions and military bases. At the same time, the technical possibilities of perimeter security and access control kept growing. Perimeter security now has a 20% share of the total fencing market and that share is still growing. As a result, the smaller fencing installers also get more and more demand for advanced security solutions. When H&K contacted our association again in 2009, with the idea to start a trade fair for the fencing industry, I knew this would succeed if we combined fencing with perimeter security.”

European Center

Because of the international character of the Perimeter Protection, the show is located in Nuremberg. Nuremberg Airport has straight regular services with Amsterdam (KLM), Berlin (Lufthansa), London, Paris and Vienna (Air Berlin) and Zurich (Swiss Air). Nuremberg also has a ICE railway station, that connects it to the European highspeed railnetwork (see frame). From the main station it takes only 10 minutes with public transport to the show premises.

More visitors as in 2010

Hans Rosenberg, project manager at H&K Messe, expects a signifi cant increase of the number of visitors for this years’ edition.

“The previous show took place in April, where we could welcome about 2,000 visitors, despite of the fact that people were just getting busy, after a bad winter. The upcoming show is scheduled in January, when more people have time to spare. Furthermore, this year we off er about 70% more exhibition surface and more interna-tional exhibitors.

Congress

During the fi rst two exhibition days, the Asociation for Security Technics “Verband für Sicherheitstechnik” (VfS) from Hamburg will organize a Perimeter Protec-tion Congress. A key point in the discussion between security managers of companies and planners is how perimeter security is optimally shaped. Representatives of corporations like BASF and Deutsche

Telekom, will speech about cooperation between mechanical and electronical security solutions from an end user’s point of view.As end users and installers of the fencing and electronics industries are able to inform themselves on the extensive technical possibilities in the show, producers of security solutions can expe-rience more about the demands and wishes of the market on the congress.

The Perimeter Protection will take place January 17th through 19th in the Exhibition Centre of Nuremberg. More information about the show, how to get there and the exhibitors is available on www.perimeter-protection.de.

Effertz introduces wireless

intruder detection

German company Eff ertz Sicherheits-technik, from Krefeld, is bringing a new, wireless intrusion detection system to the market, under the name PerimeterLo-cator. It’s easy to deploy, even on existing fencing, and drastically reduces the number of false alarms.

The system works with wireless transpon-ders. A transponder is fi tted on each barred box panel or double mesh panel. These transponders are equipped with motion sensors, registering movement on all three axes. All transponders are radio linked to each other and form a ring, from which the outer elements are connected to a central unit. This ring can be up to 2 kilome-ters in length without requiring a (wired) signalbooster. Every 3 to 5 seconds, the transponders relay their current status to each other, enabling the central unit to read this information.Movement of the fence is regis-tered and passed on to the central system, triggering the alarm. Unlike systems operating with detection wires that can only indicate a section, this one can pinpoint the exact location of the alarm. The transponders operate on a battery that needs replace-ment every ten years.

Sabotage diffi cult

Besides movements, the transponders also recognize tampering. If a transponder is covered, removed or otherwise hampered in its functions, this is detected and an alarm is triggered. The central unit can be connected to the Internet via a router and has a built-in server, enabling log-ins from anywhere in the world. The system can be combined with CCTV systems and can automatically point the cameras to the ‘crime scene’, allowing quick assessment of the situation by guards or operators.

Hardly any false alarms

Because the tags are aligned and intercon-nected, the system recognizes movements caused by natural events, such as wind or snow. These will never infl uence just a single transponder, but rather multiple ones at the same time. The system compares

the diff erent values of the transponders and recognizes natural movements. This reduces the number of false alarms to almost zero.

Introduction on the German market

PerimeterLocator is the fi rst wireless fence security system worldwide, according to

Florian Eff ertz of Eff ertz Sicherheitstechnik. It was fi rst installed in the Czech Republich, where seven solar parks were secured with this system. Since april of this year, it’s also in use on a German site, where

it can be extensively tested and demon-strated to interested parties.The system, being wireless, is also suitable for large, open areas such as airports, military

bases and solar parks. Eff ertz, being a fencing installation company owner himself, wants to market this system throughout Germany, with the help of several other fencing installers.Eff ertz: “The beauty of this system is, that it’s suitable for any type of fence. Whether it be double wire panels, rod or wooden fences, the transponders can be installed anywhere. On swing- and sliding gates as well, and even on existing, badly installed wire fence. You just bolt on a transponder every three meters, train them in on your laptop, while setting them up according to the client’s wishes, and you’re done.”

How is How is

wire rod wire rod

made? made?

Wire rod is the most important part of almost all steel fences: mesh panel fences as well as chain link fencing are made from treated wire rod. Production of this steel involves many steps, and about each step entire books could be written (and in fact there were).

Without going into detail too much, it would be interesting to have a broad overview on what’s involved in the production of this most important ingre-dient of our steel fences.

A bird’s-eye view of the entire process

Iron to steel

Steel is a form of iron. Iron is extracted from iron ore in a blast furnace, or through a process called “direct reduction” (DRI). Iron however, contains impurities, the most important one being carbon. This makes iron brittle and unusable for many purposes. This is why the impurities need to be removed from the iron. In the case of blast furnaces, a lot of carbon needs to removed, with direct reduction much less or even none at all.The blast furnace iron is poured into a vessel, in a liquid state. A lance is used to blow oxygen into it (the Basic Oxygen steelmaking process). This oxygen binds the carbon and leaves the liquid as a gas (CO and CO2), leaving steel.We now have created steel, either directly (DRI) or via the Blast Furnace and Basic Oxygen process.

Refi ned steel

Steel in this form is still not of much use. It doesn’t have the exact right compo-sition yet. Every application of the steel requires different numbers and amounts of additives. In the Basic Oxygen furnace (called a convertor), in case of blast furnace steel, and in an

Casting

The steel now has the desired composition, and can now cool down to be rolled into the desired shape. This used to be done by

pouring the steel into molds, have them cool down, transport the molds, remove the molds, reheat the resulting blocks and roll them. Although this is still being done sometimes,

Not too bad:

Between the years 1920 and 2000, productivity in the steel industry increased from more than 3 man hours per tonne to just 0.003. That’s a factor of 1,000!

These last two absorb further impurities and will eventually float on top of the steel as slag, due to the lower relative density, and provide a nice seal and thermal isolation. When the procedure is completed, the slag and steel are poured (tapped) seperately. Subse-quently, sometimes gasses such as argon are blown trough the mixture and more additives are added to further modify the steel’s properties.

today by far the largest part of the steel is processed with a far more efficient method: continuous casting. Here, a reservoir is filled from a pan filled with steel, a ladle, after which the liquid steel is cast in a continuous stream, cooling down at the same time. One or more endless slabs or rods come out of the machine, are cut to size, trans-ported, reheated on another location and rolled into much thinner proucts. Some very modern mills have taken this even further and have placed an entire rolling line directly behind this machine.

Rolling

The cut pieces of steel still aren’t wire. For wire rod production, the pieces have to be rolled or cast to square bars (billets). These billets are reheated, and passed through a series of rolling mills, still red-hot. Rolling mills consist of rolls through which the steel is passed. Across conveyors, the red-hot billets are fed through a row of rolling mills, flattened a little more on each pass. Both horizontally and vertically placed rolls are used, changing the material into an ever thinner (and longer) bar, getting so thin, that in the end we can call it wire. In between passes trough the mills, the wire is sometimes cooled in long stretches of covered cooling conveyors. After the finishing mill, the wire is spun at high speed into a cone shaped head, the laying head, to create rings, still red-hot. The looped wire is gradually cooled on a conveyor, and collected onto coils. These coils are then often reheated in an annealing furnace, in order to make the wire rod softer and remove tension in the material, and then submerged into certain fluids. Then the coils are ready to leave the factory, for the panel and chain link producers.

Multimedia

Although the camera is a bit wobbly, this Youtube video (click) is still interesting, as it nicely follows the red-hot steel through the rolling mills.ArcelorMittal, producing wire rod in Hamburg, showcases the process in a nice animation (click) on their website. The Qatar Steel animation (click) is also very illuminating. You can find nice pictures of steel factories on the website (click) of industrial photographer Uwe Niggemeier.

Oops...

The Basic Oxygen Furnace, invented by professor Durrer, was a revolutionary improve-ment in steel production, and gave the Austrian steel mills VOEST and ÖAMG a competitive advantage for a while, being patent owners. An error was made in the patent licensing, causing them to lose control over their technology. Soon after they completely lost their competitive edge.

Batimat inspiresBatimat inspiresMany new products at Paris exhibition

In early november the Batimat construction fair took place in Paris. This year hall 7.1 was almost completely populated by exhibitors from the fencing industry, showing many new types of fencing.

The total number of visitors was just over 7% lower than on the earlier edition in 2009. The organisers attribute this mainly to the national holidays in France and Belgium on November 11. The number of visiting producers declined, but the show was much better attended by project managers, contractors and traders. The number of foreign visitors showed a sharp rise from 10% in 2009 to 19% in 2011. Many of these new visitors came from Brazil, Russia and Germany. »

The trend to weld the bars criss cross against the beams appears to be continuing, they were shown on multiple stands. Especially Normaclo was lavish: panelfencing were the vertical wires aren’t exactly vertical, and barfencing where the bars are not only off the vertical, but welded on crooked as well. The company also showed panels with convex shapes, or with the imprint of a giant ball.

The call for more privacy is also acted on in France. Just as in Germany, where privacy-plastic that can be intertwined in the fences and noise-absorbing walls that also keep out curious eyes are a true trend, the French also seem in need of non-see-through fencing. Whether made from plastic, sendzimir plating or aluminium, there’s quite a lot of closed fencing. Just like the real thing are the concrete panels of Clôtures Nicolas.

» Panels

The English/Frech company Zaun, present with a large stand this year, was showing a large amount of curved fences. It is also introducing a panel of framed, very thick mesh fences. These robust panels are, according to director and co-owner Paul Painter, even safer than prison-fences. The closely-knit wires offer even less grip for climbing, and less grip and access for bolt cutters. Frech company Clonor was displaying a 3D double mesh fence, in order to continue the 3D design were stronger fencing is needed, such as alongside sports fields.

Specials

Turkish fencing producer Kösedag demonstrated fence posts with built-in solar-powered LED-lighting. The LED’s aren’t bright enough to illuminate the adjacent roads, but serve well as orienta-tion lighting. The solar panel on the post is weather and vandalism resistant. For illumination-purposes the company was also showing a solar-powered lamppost This post has a built-in, motor-driven lowering mechanism, enabling mainte-nance without having to climb.

The company is also promoting a safety-panel about which we wonder if it could be legally installed in Europe: the panel is welded out of razor-wire.Girardot, French daughter of Swiss company JDC, was presenting a sliding

gate with a toothed rack brake, which allows even gates with large openings to be placed on slopes. By using two beams side by side on a double base, the Girardot gate can span large openings without a heavy duty, thick beam getting in the way of the design of the gate.

The next edition of the Batimat will take place from 4 to 9 November 2013. All the pictures we did not have space for in this edition of the Fencing Observer, can be viewed on www.fencingobserver.com.
