Understanding Crash Rated Fences | Common Applications | Types of Fences | Crash vs. Security Fences | Other Crash Barriers | Cost of a Crash Fence Some businesses require crash-rated fencing to provide extra protection that standard residential fences can't offer. These high-security systems are built to withstand the impact of large vehicles, making them ideal for areas with heightened security needs. The strength of these fences is measured by a crash-test rating system developed by the Department of State (DOS) and the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), ensuring they are among the most robust in the market. Also known as anti-ram fences, these structures are designed to prevent vehicles from breaking through property boundaries. They are commonly used in locations where there is a risk of vehicle attacks or where high levels of security are required. This is why they are often referred to as anti-ram fences. High-security fences are widely used in commercial and government buildings. Initially, they were tested using a K rating system developed by the Department of State (DOS). This system measured how well a fence could stop a 15,000-pound vehicle at different speeds: This means a K8-rated fence can stop a 15,000-pound vehicle traveling at 40 mph. Over time, the system was updated by ASTM to M ratings, which include a P rating component indicating how far the vehicle can pass beyond the barrier after impact. The P ratings determine the distance the vehicle travels past the barrier: While K ratings are no longer officially used, they are still referenced alongside the current ASTM M ratings. These crash-rated fences are ideal for businesses requiring high levels of security. They are commonly found in government facilities such as: They are also popular in commercial settings like: In short, any facility needing strong perimeter security will benefit from these types of fences, whether due to potential threats or sensitive information being stored on-site. TYMETAL offers high-quality, customized security fencing solutions from trusted manufacturers. Our post-and-cable and post-and-rail systems are rated M50 or K12, meaning they can stop a 15,000-pound vehicle traveling at 50 mph. These systems meet P1 penetration guidelines, with posts spaced appropriately depending on their position in the fence line. We understand that each business has unique security needs, so we offer custom anti-ram fencing solutions. With your specifications, we can design a high-security fence tailored to your requirements. Custom crash-rated fences are excellent for securing a commercial property, but adding a crash-rated gate enhances protection even further. Whether you choose a slide gate, lift gate, or another type, we can customize it to fit your specific needs and provide top-tier security. TYMETAL provides several security gates that pair well with our commercial fencing systems, including: All of our products are third-party tested and meet ASTM standards. Manufactured in Texas or New York, we ensure quality, reliability, and American-made excellence. Not all security fences are crash-rated. A crash-rated fence has passed testing and received an official ASTM rating, while a crash-tested fence may not have met the required standards. It's important to confirm that the fence you're considering is truly crash-rated rather than just tested. TYMETAL is a reliable provider of high-security fencing. We offer custom designs that balance security with aesthetics. Our M50-rated fences are certified by professionals and built to meet the growing demands of modern security needs. As a single-source supplier, we design, engineer, and manufacture every component of our systems, ensuring fast delivery and superior quality.

We handle everything in-house, reducing lead times and ensuring seamless integration of components. Our quality control ensures every product meets the highest standards. We also offer videos showing how our systems perform under real-world conditions. We also provide alternate crash barriers that work well with our anti-ram systems, offering additional layers of security when needed. For added security, TYMETAL offers crash-rated barriers like beams and bollards. These are manufactured in-house and can be used with or without fences and gates. For example, our TCRB-4 and TCRB-12 beams are rated M30 and M50, respectively, and are made from solid aluminum. They can be manually or electronically operated and customized to fit specific needs. Our bollards are designed to stop vehicles ranging from cars to heavy trucks. Each includes a flexible steel core to absorb impact and protect both the structure and the surrounding area. We also offer the Universal Slimline Planter, which combines aesthetics with functionality, stopping a 16,500-pound vehicle moving at 40 mph. Several factors influence the cost of high-security crash-rated fences. While the fence itself is a major expense, installation, labor, and equipment costs should also be considered. Customization adds to the price, as does the complexity of the design and manufacturing process. Additional costs include: These expenses are part of the total cost, and custom options may increase both time and money spent. However, a crash-rated fence is a long-term investment that provides lasting protection and peace of mind for your business. It’s wise to consult a professional fencing company like TYMETAL to get accurate pricing and recommendations. We can guide you through the entire process, from design to installation, ensuring you receive the best value for your budget. Regular maintenance is also essential to keep your crash-rated fence functioning properly over time. This is an important factor to consider when planning your overall budget.

Due to the harsh working environment of the ship, the hull shell is subject to chemical corrosion of seawater, electrochemical corrosion and corrosion of marine organisms and microorganisms; the hull is subjected to large wind and wave impacts and alternating loads; the shape of the ship is complicated by processing methods, etc. Steel for hull structure is strictly required. First of all, good toughness is the most critical requirement. In addition, high strength, good corrosion resistance, weldability, forming properties and surface quality are required.
Shipbuilding Steels Our hot rolled shipbuilding steel is produced in accordance with the relevant Classification Society, examples of which include Lloyds Register and Det Norske Veritas.
Our steel products include steel shipbuilding plate, fabricated steel sections and floor plate for decking. We can also supply bulb flats for plate stiffening, Structural Steel angles and inverted angles.
Our plates are supplied under the ASTM/ASME specification (ASTM A131 / ASME SA 131) which is the standard specification for Structural Steel for Ships. We offer higher strength shipbuilding steels as standard .High strength steels offer significant cost advantages by reducing the weight of the structure in comparison to the steel used.
The plates are suitable for use in the construction of container ships and large cargo freighters as well as commercial shipping lines such as luxury cruise ships and ferries. Supply options include heavy plates, surface treated plates and pre-fabricated sections. In most cases, the steel can also be supplied as hot rolled coils or cut into lengths (sheets).
These high yield materials are commonly used in the construction of hulls and superstructures for large shipping vessels. The grades are exclusively for shipbuilding use as set out in the standard.
