MOVE SIGNALS CONTINUED GROWTH FOR ANIMAL-DETERRENT SUBSTATION FENCING
(YORK, Pa.) — TransGard, which has installed proven animal-prevention fencing at more than 3,000 substations in North America, announced today it has reached an agreement with CBM Utility Group, a leading manufacturers’ representative serving the electric power industry.
CBM will offer TransGard’s patented substation fencing to utilities, cooperatives and other energy providers in Kansas, Missouri, southern Illinois and Arkansas.
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.
“Because of the growing interest in TransGard fences, we continue to secure professional representation to help us meet demand,” said Bill Reichard, TransGard President. “CBM will be the ideal partner for us. The region it serves continues to experience a pervasive and persistent problem of climbing animals entering and disrupting substations.”
