Game Fencing & Electrification
Introduction
Savannah Conservation Africa specializes in high-quality game fencing and electrification services designed to provide secure enclosures for wildlife conservation, game ranching, and agricultural protection. Our fencing solutions incorporate modern technology, sustainable materials, and innovative security systems to ensure maximum efficiency and durability. We offer both conventional and electric fencing systems, employing advanced energizer technologies, solar-powered solutions, and intelligent monitoring systems.
Planning and Implementation
The planning phase of game fencing and electrification involves meticulous site assessment, ecological impact studies, and strategic mapping of the fencing layout. Our approach includes:
Site Survey and Environmental Assessment – Identifying the topographical and vegetation conditions to determine the optimal fence alignment.
Material Selection – Utilizing high-quality, hot-dip galvanized fencing wires and metal poles to ensure longevity and resistance to corrosion.
De-bushing and Land Preparation – Employing chainsaws to clear vegetation and using gallon poison treatments to prevent stump regrowth and coppicing.
Fence Erection and Installation – Constructing fences with standardized dimensions and integrating electric systems where necessary.
Conventional Game Fencing
Conventional game fencing is designed for maximum durability and resilience against wildlife pressure. Our standard game fence specifications include:
Height: 2.4 meters
Material: Hot-dip galvanized steel wires and metal poles
Mesh Size: Optimized to prevent animal escape while minimizing entanglement risks
Support Structures: Straining posts placed at regular intervals to maintain tension and stability
Gates and Access Control: Secure, reinforced gates with optional manual or automated access systems
Electric Fencing Solutions
Our electric fences provide an additional layer of security, deterring wildlife break-ins and poaching activities. These fences incorporate:
Multi-Strand Electric Wiring: Configured to deliver a safe but effective shock to deter animals
High-Tensile Wire: Resistant to weather conditions and animal interference
Insulators and Conductors: Designed for optimal energy distribution and minimal power loss
Energizer Systems: We use industry-leading energizers such as Gallagher and Staffix to maintain consistent voltage levels across the fencing
Solar-Powered Solutions: Renewable energy sources to reduce operational costs and ensure remote-area functionality
Intelligent Security and Monitoring Systems
To enhance the effectiveness of game fencing, we integrate intelligent security features, including:
Fault and Break-In Alarms: Real-time alerts to notify management of any breaches or damage to the fencing
Day & Night Surveillance Cameras: Strategically positioned cameras for 24/7 monitoring
Automated Response Systems: Integration with security teams for immediate intervention in case of intrusions
Smart Connectivity: Remote control and monitoring via mobile or web-based platforms
Environmental Sustainability and Maintenance
Savannah Conservation Africa prioritizes sustainability in all fencing projects. Our maintenance strategies include:
Routine Inspections: Scheduled assessments to check for wear and tear
Vegetation Control: Continuous de-bushing and poison treatment to prevent regrowth from compromising fence integrity
Component Upgrades: Periodic replacement of insulators, conductors, and energizer units to ensure optimal performance.
Conclusion
Savannah Conservation Africa’s game fencing and electrification services provide an integrated approach to wildlife security, incorporating durable materials, advanced technology, and sustainable practices. By utilizing intelligent monitoring systems, solar energy, and high-quality fencing materials, we ensure the protection of conservation areas and game reserves while minimizing environmental impact. Our commitment to excellence in planning, execution, and maintenance ensures long-term efficiency and effectiveness of game fencing solutions.
