Every high security application requires a physical barrier to delay forced entry. Fences of the past, such as the standard chain-link with barbed wire, were used only to mark the boundary and hang warning signs. Understanding that the fence must become a more functional part of the total security system, Ameristar ® designed Impasse to be the structurally sound foundational framework for both a fence that would significantly delay forced entry attempts, and also a barrier capable of containing anti-crash cable systems, sophisticated sensor detection systems, and early warning alarm systems. Because different facilities require differing levels of security, Impasse was configured to be tailored as needed for particular applications and budget limitations. Ameristar ® maintains a staff of security professionals to assist with security optimization using Impasse as the basic foundation of the physical security perimeter.StylesGauntletStrongholdTridentThe Impasse Security Fence was designed and engineered to meet the expressed needs of security specialists, consultants and engineers - the need for a value added security fence that delayed forced entry for a time period sufficient to bring secondary security measures into play. To make the Impasse system an even more relevant answer to physical security demands, the base design was configured to be easily accessorized with added anti-ram barrier capability and anti-climb inserts, as well as sensor and alarm systems. The high-strength architectural shapes of Impasse components were enabled by the high-speed automation of Ameristar's in-house roll-forming mill. Ameristar's unique PermaCoat ®(double layer) electrostatic powder coating process ensures an appearance that remains aesthetically pleasing for many years. Impasse is available in three different styles (triple-pointed, blunt-tipped, and outwardly curved) and four standard colors (black, white, bronze, and desert sand)
