MOVE ENABLES CONTINUED GROWTH FOR ANIMAL-DETERRENT SUBSTATION PROTECTION
(YORK, Pa.) — TransGard, which has installed proven animal-prevention fencing at more than 3,000 substations in North America, announced it has reached an agreement with PowerLink Electrical Sales, a leading manufacturers’ representative agency serving the electric power industry.
Based in Westlake, Ohio, PowerLink will offer TransGard’s patented substation animal mitigation products to utilities, cooperatives and other energy providers in Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, West Virginia and western Pennsylvania.
TransGard developed the only substation fencing that deters climbing animals by delivering a mild electric shock — a humane technique that, according to IEEE, offers the most effective barrier against animal incursion. TransGard prevents outages caused by squirrels, snakes, raccoons, cats, and a range of other animals including birds.
“TransGard has a history of providing high-quality, effective products to protect substations,” says Ed Matheny, PowerLink’s president. “TransGard products align themselves extremely well with PowerLink’s other offerings and we’re glad to be able to expand our services to our customers in such a definitive way.”
