Fencing/Hostile Vehicle Mitigation

Fencepac Commercial

PAS68 hostile vehicle mitigation fencing for critical infrastructure

Fencepac supplies and installs PAS68 crash-rated palisade and mesh HVM systems — StronGuard RCS and SecureGuard RCS — for data centres, defence sites, and critical national infrastructure across Queensland.

Crash-rated perimeters that still read as a fence

Hostile vehicle mitigation fencing is specified when a perimeter has to stop a vehicle, not only a climber. Fencepac supplies and installs two PAS68 systems for that brief: StronGuard RCS palisade and SecureGuard RCS mesh — typically for data centres, defence, and critical infrastructure.

Fencepac does not manufacture the StronGuard or SecureGuard brands. We specify, supply, and install the system the drawing calls for, with matching gates and the toppings or detection the site needs. For standard (non-HVM) palisade or high-security mesh, see our palisade and security fencing pages.

StronGuard RCS is marketed as the only standalone PAS68 impact-tested palisade security fence in the world. It looks like standard palisade, with PAS68 performance equivalent to ASTM F2656 K4. SecureGuard RCS builds on that platform as a standalone PAS68 accredited mesh fence, stopping a 7.5 t vehicle at 48 kph.

When PAS68 HVM fencing is specified

Data centres and other critical national infrastructure that must resist a hostile vehicle attack
Defence facilities specifying a standalone PAS68 palisade or mesh perimeter
Sites that need PAS68 performance equivalent to ASTM F2656 K4 without looking like a crash barrier
Perimeters that should read as standard palisade or 358-style mesh from the public face
Packages that combine HVM fencing with toppings, PIDs, or electric detection
Drawings that name StronGuard RCS or SecureGuard RCS rather than a generic crash-rated substitute

HVM systems we supply and install

Two PAS68 systems — palisade and mesh. Ratings below are the published manufacturer classifications; confirm the current test certificate against the project specification.

StronGuard RCS

PAS68 impact-tested palisade HVM that protects critical national infrastructure from hostile vehicle attacks. It is marketed as the only standalone PAS68 impact-tested palisade security fence in the world, and it looks like standard palisade — the usual choice for data centres and critical infrastructure that cannot advertise a crash barrier.

SecureGuard RCS

PAS68 accredited mesh HVM, marketed as the only standalone PAS68 accredited mesh fence. It builds on the StronGuard RCS platform and stops a 7.5 t vehicle at 48 kph, while reading as a discreet security mesh line for defence, data centres, and critical infrastructure.

Frequently asked questions — Hostile Vehicle Mitigation

Hostile vehicle mitigation (HVM) fencing is a crash-rated perimeter designed to stop or slow a vehicle impact, not only climbing or cutting. Fencepac supplies and installs PAS68 systems — StronGuard RCS palisade and SecureGuard RCS mesh — where the specification calls for that level of protection.

No. Fencepac supplies and installs these PAS68 systems. We do not manufacture the StronGuard or SecureGuard brands. If the drawing names either system, that is what we price and install — not a generic substitute.

StronGuard RCS is PAS68 impact-tested palisade HVM that looks like standard palisade. SecureGuard RCS is PAS68 accredited mesh HVM that builds on the StronGuard RCS platform and reads as a discreet security mesh line. Both are used on data centres, defence, and critical infrastructure. For non-HVM palisade or 358 mesh, see our palisade and security fencing pages.

StronGuard RCS is published at RCS 25 — V/2500 [N1G]/48/90:0.0/0.0 (2,500 kg N1G at 48 kph, 90°, 0.0 m penetration) — and RCS 75 — V/7500 [N2]/48/90:3.5/0.0 (7,500 kg N2 at 48 kph, 90°, 3.5 m penetration). Its PAS68 performance is equivalent to ASTM F2656 K4. SecureGuard RCS is published as D/7500 [N2]/48/90:3.5/0.0 (7,500 kg N2 at 48 kph, 90°, 3.5 m penetration). Confirm the current test certificate against the specification.

Yes. HVM is often specified on the frontages that face a vehicle threat, with standard palisade, Securemesh 358, or other security systems on the remainder of the site. Matching gates, toppings, and detection can sit in the same package.
