Every year, animals cause hundreds of substation power outages that leave thousands without power—and cost millions in repairs. TransGard manufactures and installs the only substation fencing that delivers a humane—but effective—electric shock that deters climbing animals, an approach the IEEE calls the most effective barrier against animal incursion.
TransGard’s specially engineered substation fencing system has been installed at over 3,500 locations. Substation operators choose TransGard’s patented solution because it offers significant advantage:
Easy installation
A crew of three can complete a 300-foot TransGard enclosure in just four hours with basic tools—no special training, no heavy equipment, and no power interruption required during installation.
Freestanding protection
TransGard fencing installs on the ground, requiring no postholes, foundation or concrete. TransGard requires far less material, expense and time than a perimeter fence.
Prevent incursion from a wide range of species
Squirrels, raccoons, opossums, cats, iguanas, frogs, and other climbing animals–none can breach the TransGard fence.
Engineered entryway
The system offers substation access through a non-electrified entry system, designed with a smooth finish and tight clearances to prevent animal intruders.
