Welded Razor Wire Mesh

Welded razor wire mesh combines the traditional strength of woven wire fencing with the enhanced security features of razor wire technology. This specialized perimeter protection system features sharp-edged razor wire strands that are mechanically welded at intersection points, creating a formidable barrier that deters unauthorized access while maintaining structural integrity under various weather conditions.

Technical Specifications and Construction

Material Composition

• Wire Grade: High-tensile galvanized steel wire (typically 2.5mm-4mm diameter)
• Razor Wire Type: Concertina or flat-wrap configurations
• Welding Process: Automated resistance welding at 150mm intervals
• Coating: Hot-dip galvanized finish (275g/m² zinc coating minimum)

Standard Dimensions

• Panel Heights: 1.2m, 1.5m, 1.8m, 2.1m, 2.4m
• Panel Widths: 2.5m standard (custom lengths available)
• Mesh Opening: 50mm x 200mm rectangular pattern
• Wire Thickness: 2.5mm to 4.0mm depending on security requirements

Security Applications and Performance

Welded razor wire mesh delivers superior perimeter security for facilities requiring heightened protection. The welded construction eliminates weak points common in traditional twisted-joint fencing, while the integrated razor wire creates multiple deterrent layers.

Primary Applications

• Correctional facilities and detention centers
• Military installations and defense contractors
• Critical infrastructure protection
• High-value industrial sites
• Border security installations

The mesh design allows for excellent visibility through the barrier while maintaining maximum security effectiveness, making it suitable for areas where surveillance monitoring is essential.

Installation Requirements and Methods

Foundation Specifications

Professional installation of welded razor wire mesh requires concrete footings with minimum 600mm depth in standard soil conditions. Posts should be positioned at 2.5m intervals with additional bracing posts every 25m for extended runs.

Mounting Systems

• Post Types: 60mm x 60mm galvanized RHS posts or 89mm diameter round posts
• Fixing Method: Mechanical clamps with tamper-resistant bolts
• Height Extensions: Available for installations requiring additional elevation
• Gate Integration: Compatible with automated and manual gate systems

Maintenance and Longevity

Corrosion Resistance

The hot-dip galvanized coating on welded razor wire mesh provides 15-25 years of corrosion protection in standard environmental conditions. Coastal installations may require additional protective treatments or stainless steel variants for extended service life.

Inspection Schedule

• Monthly: Visual inspection for damage or attempted breaches
• Quarterly: Tensioning check and post alignment verification
• Annually: Comprehensive structural assessment and coating condition review

Compliance and Standards

Welded razor wire mesh manufactured to our specifications meets relevant international standards including:

• ISO 14122: Safety requirements for permanent access equipment
• ASTM A116: Zinc coating standards for steel wire
• EN 10244: Steel wire and wire products coating specifications

Environmental Considerations

The galvanized steel construction ensures 95% recyclability at end-of-life, supporting sustainable security infrastructure practices. Manufacturing processes comply with ISO 14001 environmental management standards.

Long-term Value

The robust construction of welded razor wire mesh reduces replacement frequency compared to lighter security fencing options. Expected service life of 20-30 years with minimal maintenance requirements provides superior total cost of ownership for high-security applications.
