In the early 2000s, a study from the Edison Electric Institute stated that animals were the second most prominent cause of po ... wer outages in the United States and Canada. Small animals gravitate toward substations for warmth and perceived safety, but often times when in and amongst the substation equipment, they can trip a breaker knocking out power. It was clear to VANQUISH that we needed to ask the industry if it was time to rethink the way it viewed the perimeter fencing at substations. VANQUISH Fencing began with this single purpose; to address the need to reduce power outages caused by animals. The heart of our mission is to provide a proven defense system that prevents animals from penetrating, manipulating, or climbing the fence. Our animal deterrent fencing systems are designed to limit uncontrolled access to substations thereby preventing unnecessary interference with electrical equipment and the potential for power outages. These deterrent systems also create an environment that is both safe and secure for people and equipment. They’re intimidating to intruders while adding to the overall appearance and protection of the secured area. Today, VANQUISH combines the strength of this PATENTED deterrent system with the technology of non-conductive materials, resulting in a physical barrier that does not conduct electricity or allow induced voltage. The entire system is designed to be flexible, efficient, and customizable for use not only in substations, but also for rail lines, power plants, schools, corporate facilities, manufacturing plants, airports, and prisons. VANQUISH’s Systems are Always On Guard protecting equipment and safeguarding our client’s assets from power outages that may result in lost resources/income, but also to aid clients in providing their customers with protected, reliable power. read more
