Securing critical assets involves a complex process of analyzing security risks and challenges and developing a customized plan that can defend your assets incase of intrusion. With multiple areas requiring different levels of protection and with a wide variety of security solutions available today each compiling to different security standards, selecting the right solution can become overwhelming.
On the other hand, selecting the wrong security solution can put your perimeter at risk with a chance of affecting the lives and critical assets inside the perimeter thereby disrupting the business.
While every perimeter requires tailored security solutions depending on the importance and site conditions & criticality of the assets housed inside the perimeter, in this blog we shall discuss a comprehensive perimeter security framework that can help you in building a robust security solution for protecting your critical assets by analyzing the different types of intrusion that can occur.
Any critical site will typically have the following areas in the perimeter that are prone to intrusions:
1. Main Perimeter: This is the boundary of your perimeter that demarcates your property from the surroundings. This is the first line of defense and requires special attention when designing a security solution for this area. The chosen security solution should be able to not only defend in case of an intrusion attempt but also be able to detect and delay the intrusion so that the security personnel can have response time to act. Intrusions in this area can occur by cutting the barriers, climbing or directly ramping the barriers using a vehicle. Solutions like delay rated fences and hostile vehicle mitigation solutions can greatly defend against most intrusions.

For Intrusion involving cutting and climbing
AKAT NG 30 – Most Effective Delay Rated Fence
The journey of intrusion begins at the fence and AKAT NG 30 stands tall as a formidable barrier to keep intruders at bay. This is a delay rated fence that is capable of providing a delay time of 6.4 mins to 31 mins depending on the type of cutting tool used. This powerful deterrent can discourage any cutting or climbing intrusion attempt while also providing good visibility of the outside perimeter.
Rated as per ASTM F2781-15
While most intruders may stop after unsuccessful attempts to cut or climb the fence, some may resort to crushing the fence by ramming a vehicle to get entry into the perimeter. For such type of intrusions we provide
A-1 Alcazar Anti-Vehicle Rope Barrier
To protect your perimeter against hostile vehicle threats with A-1 Alcazar Rope Barrier is a crash rated solution that can stop an oncoming vehicle weighing up to 6.8 tons speeding at 50 mph. The barrier is also designed such that the penetration distance is less than 1 meter.
Rated as per ASTM F2656 M50 P1
Detecting intrusion attempts at the source can be an added advantage to minimize the damage caused. A well designed security solution for the main perimeter should include perimeter intrusion detection systems that can detect intrusions and raise an alarm to alert about theintrusion. Generally such solutions include vibration sensors deployed on the fence that can sense disturbances on the fence and alert.
Liminal-K
An active perimeter intrusion detection system that can be easily mounted on the fence/wall and detects vibrations on the fence offering pinpoint location of intrusion. The sensor can be integrated with 3rd party VMS softwares for visual confirmation through cameras.
2. Main Entrance & other entry points: Designing a security solution for entrances can be tricky. These areas provide authorized access to your property and are more vulnerable to intrusion if proper security measures are not implemented. Intruders can bypass these important points easily if the entrance control solution protecting the area is not equipped to handle different types of intrusions. The solution should be able to act as a formidable barrier when deployed to stop intrusions of any kind while also being able to allow authorized access to the property with ease.
Aravali Fence solutions for the for the Entrance Perimeter
To provide intrusion protection against climbing or cutting
A-1 AKAT Delay Rated Gate
A-1 AKAT is a delay rated gate designed to provide a high level of resistance and delay against unauthorized access or intrusion attempts.
To protect the entrance from hostile vehicle threats we have
A-1 Alcazar Hydraulic Road Blocker
Crash rated road blocker that is precisely constructed to completely immobilize a large high-speed vehicle for the utmost security. The blocker is capable of stopping vehicles weighing 6.8 tons, speeding at 50 mph with penetration of less than 1 meter.
Rated as per ASTM F2656 M50 P1
A-1 Alcazar Crash Beam Barrier
A solution designed to control and restrict access to high-security areas. With an impressive crash rating of ASTM F2656 M50 P1, this barrier is certified to withstand substantial impacts, ensuring the safety and security of your premises.
Rated as per ASTM F2656 M50 P1
Pedestrian Walkways: For people to freely move around the property, designated walkways/ footpaths are developed. Such areas need protection incase of hostile vehicle intrusions to protect the lives of pedestrians.
Solutions for Pedestrian Safety
A-1 Alcazar Static Bollards
These crash rated bollards are installed along the pathways and are capable of stopping an oncoming vehicle attack.
Rated as per ASTM F2656 M50 P1
3. Internal Areas: These are areas inside the perimeter that require medium to low security preventing accidental access and to demarcate the zone. Such areas mostly include administrative buildings, production facilities, power stations etc. Visibility plays an important role in securing such areas.
Solutions for Internal Perimeter
Chainlink Fence with Concertina Coils
This combination of fence offers basic demarcation and good visibility. The concertina coils at the top also act as a barrier to prevent climbing.
4. External Perimeter: These are areas near and outside the perimeter. Such areas can be monitored to detect any intrusion attempts before the actual intrusion can take place. Solutions like radars & seismic sensors are generally deployed to monitor such areas.
Compact Surveillance Radar:
An advanced active intrusion detection system, the Compact Surveillance Radar significantly enhances perimeter security by providing early detection of intrusion attempts. It is designed to operate in diverse environmental conditions and across varying light levels, making it ideal for solar park protection. This radar can detect movement on the ground, over water, and in the air, ensuring comprehensive surveillance and minimizing potential security breaches.
Seismic Sensors
These underground active intrusion detection devices utilize built-in geophones to detect and analyze seismic activity. The integrated microprocessor filters out noise and classifies the nature of the intrusion, providing accurate and reliable data. Key details such as the type of target, time, and location are transmitted to the control unit in real-time. Ideal for covering blind spots in solar parks, these sensors can detect ground vibrations up to 200 meters away, offering a discreet yet highly effective security solution.
Conclusion:
Selecting the right perimeter security solution is critical to safeguarding your assets and minimizing risks. By adopting a tailored approach that addresses the unique vulnerabilities of each area—whether it’s the
main perimeter, entry points, walkways, or external zones—you can effectively defend against intrusion attempts. A combination of delay-rated fences, hostile vehicle barriers, and advanced detection systems
ensures a robust security framework, allowing your business to operate smoothly while protecting both lives and critical assets.
