What Is Egoza Concertina Wire
Egoza concertina wire is a three-dimensional protective barrier made of razor wire, formed as an elastic coil and fastened with metal clips. Unlike a simple strand of barbed wire, this structure creates a spatial obstacle with a large number of cutting elements, making it difficult to cross quickly without special tools, time and risk of injury. Egoza concertina wire is installed on top of fences, concrete panels, metal sections, engineering structures or separate supports when the level of perimeter protection must be significantly increased without fully replacing the existing fence.
In different fields, this product may be referred to in different ways: Egoza concertina barrier, security concertina barrier, SBB Egoza, razor wire barrier or Egoza barrier line. All these names describe the same type of engineered solution - a barrier made of razor wire that enhances the protective properties of a site, creates a physical obstacle and has a visible deterrent effect. In the general catalogue of Egoza barriers, concertina wire is the main and most commonly used solution for industrial, warehouse, infrastructure, restricted-access and private sites.
Construction of an Egoza Concertina Barrier
The basis of a concertina barrier is Egoza razor wire. It consists of a steel core that provides strength and elasticity, and razor tape with cutting elements crimped around this core. After the coil is formed, adjacent turns are connected with metal clips at defined points. As a result, the barrier does not stretch chaotically, retains its working geometry after installation, resists deformation more effectively and remains functional even under attempts at mechanical impact.
The working characteristics of the barrier depend on the coil diameter, the type of razor wire, coil density, number of clips and installation method. Smaller diameters may be used for sites with basic protection requirements, while larger coils with increased structural rigidity are more appropriate for industrial, energy, military or restricted-access territories. The larger the diameter and the more reliable the coil fastening, the more difficult it is to cross the barrier quickly and unnoticed.
Where Egoza Concertina Wire Is Used
Egoza concertina wire is used where an ordinary fence does not provide the required level of protection. It is installed along the perimeters of warehouses, production areas, logistics sites, energy facilities, construction sites, military facilities, municipal enterprises, restricted-access zones and private properties with increased security requirements. In practice, a concertina barrier is often the fastest way to reinforce an existing fence without major reconstruction of the entire perimeter.
A separate area of application is the creation of temporary or reinforced access-restriction lines. In military and security terminology, this type of structure may be referred to as an Egoza barrier line, especially when passages, technical zones, entrances or areas requiring rapid creation of a physical obstacle must be blocked. For stationary sites, durability, correct fastening and weather resistance are the key factors, while for temporary solutions, deployment speed, ease of delivery and suitability for the specific area are especially important.
Installation of Concertina Wire on Site
The effectiveness of Egoza concertina wire depends not only on the quality of the product itself, but also on correct installation. The barrier must be installed so that it does not sag, lose shape, create weak sections or become poorly fixed along the perimeter. Brackets, supports, tensioning elements, clips and other components are used for this purpose, selected according to the fence type, structure height and installation conditions.
If the barrier is mounted on top of an existing fence, it is important to take into account the strength of the supports, fence height, bracket angle and the possibility of safe maintenance. Some sites may require installation of the coil on separate supports or the use of additional rows of barrier. More information about site preparation, fastening and typical mistakes is available on the page about installation of Egoza barriers.
Concertina Wire, Flat Barrier or Razor Mesh
Concertina wire is the main solution for most sites where high perimeter protection efficiency is required. It performs well on industrial and restricted-access territories, warehouses, infrastructure facilities and other sites where barrier height, difficulty of crossing and a clear deterrent effect are important. If space is limited or the barrier must not project far beyond the plane of the fence, it is worth considering an Egoza flat barrier.
For creating extended flat barriers, reinforcing sectional fences or protecting against digging under the fence, Egoza razor mesh may be used. It has a different construction and solves somewhat different tasks than concertina wire. Therefore, the choice between concertina wire, a flat barrier and razor mesh should be based not on the product name alone, but on site conditions: perimeter type, available space, desired level of protection, installation requirements and budget.
Price and Ordering of Egoza Concertina Wire
The cost of Egoza concertina wire is calculated individually. For sites requiring individual calculation, a fixed price without specifying the parameters often has little practical value, because the final cost depends on coil diameter, razor wire type, number of clips, perimeter length, order volume, delivery method, configuration and the need for installation. The same fence length may require different solutions depending on fence height, risk level and protection requirements.
To buy or order Egoza concertina wire, it is enough to provide the basic site data: perimeter length, type of existing fence, desired level of protection, delivery city and whether installation is required. Based on these parameters, the appropriate coil diameter can be selected, the required quantity calculated and a proposal prepared. Fensys manufactures and supplies Egoza concertina wire across Ukraine, helping select solutions for industrial, infrastructure, restricted-access, commercial and private sites.
