Precision Manufacturing Process of Temporary Fencing

The manufacturing of high-quality temporary fencing, particularly for demanding markets like Australia, involves a meticulous process designed to ensure structural integrity, longevity, and adherence to performance standards. Our process integrates advanced materials science with precise engineering techniques to produce a superior product.

Process Flow:

1. Material Sourcing & Preparation: We utilize high-grade, low-carbon steel wire and galvanized steel tubing (typically 32mm or 42mm OD) as primary materials. The steel is rigorously inspected for chemical composition and mechanical properties, ensuring it meets ASTM A513 or equivalent international standards. Wire coils are unwound and straightened to prepare for mesh welding.
2. Mesh Welding (Automated): State-of-the-art automated welding machines are employed to precisely weld the horizontal and vertical wires, forming the mesh panel. This resistance welding technique ensures strong, consistent joints, critical for panel rigidity. Common mesh openings are 60x150mm or 75x150mm, using wire diameters from 3mm to 5mm.
3. Frame Fabrication (CNC & Welding): The galvanized steel tubing is cut to precise lengths using CNC machining to ensure dimensional accuracy. These tubes are then bent and assembled into the rectangular frame. Robotic or skilled manual MIG/TIG welding is applied at all connection points, creating a robust, unitary frame structure. The frame typically features anti-climb mesh infill for enhanced security.
4. Panel-to-Frame Integration: The welded mesh panel is then securely welded into the fabricated frame. This crucial step is performed with care to prevent any damage to the galvanized coating of the frame or mesh, maintaining corrosion resistance. All welds are clean and free of burrs.
5. Surface Treatment & Finishing: While primary materials are pre-galvanized, any areas where welding has occurred or where the zinc coating may have been compromised are meticulously re-treated with a cold galvanizing compound or a zinc-rich primer to maintain full corrosion protection. This ensures a consistent protective layer across the entire panel. For additional durability or specific aesthetic requirements, powder coating can be applied over the galvanized surface.
6. Quality Control & Testing: Each batch undergoes rigorous quality control. This includes dimensional checks, weld integrity testing (e.g., destructive pull tests on sample welds), and visual inspections for coating quality. Compliance with Australian Standard AS 4687-2007 is verified through structural integrity tests, specifically related to panel rigidity and resistance to displacement under force. Salt spray testing (ASTM B117) is periodically performed to confirm corrosion resistance, simulating harsh environmental conditions.
7. Packaging & Dispatch: Finished panels are carefully stacked and secured, often bundled with protective wrapping, to prevent damage during transit. Bases and clamps are packaged separately for ease of assembly on site.

Materials & Service Life:

Our Australia Temporary Fence systems are primarily constructed from hot-dipped or pre-galvanized steel, offering exceptional resistance to corrosion, rust, and UV degradation. This material choice, combined with expert welding and finishing, contributes to a typical service life exceeding 10-15 years under normal operational conditions, significantly reducing the total cost of ownership through repeated use and minimal maintenance.
