The Egoza concertina wire barrier is a ready-to-install obstacle consisting of coils of Egoza razor wire, connected at specific intervals to create a spatial structure with stable form and rigidity. Thanks to its ease of installation, high reliability, and intimidating appearance, the concertina barrier under the Egoza trademark is widely used in various sectors that require perimeter protection against unauthorized access.
Design and Operating Principles
The core of the barrier is a spring-like spiral made from Egoza razor wire with a fixed diameter. The individual coils are connected by special metal buckles (clips), with an odd number always used—this ensures structural symmetry and uniform stress distribution.
The diameter of the barrier can vary depending on security needs, from compact 400 mm spirals to large 1250 mm and above. The deployed length of the concertina barrier depends on the number of coils, clip spacing, and site-specific requirements.
When installed, the Egoza concertina barrier forms an elastic, spring-loaded structure that retains its shape even after mechanical impact. Due to the sharp razor blades and its three-dimensional design, crossing such a barrier is virtually impossible without special equipment.
Applications of the Egoza Concertina Barrier
The barrier is marketed as an Egoza concertina only if it is made from certified Egoza razor wire and manufactured according to the proper technical standards.
Concertina wire barriers are commonly installed:
- Around industrial sites, warehouses, and logistics facilities;
- Along the borders of restricted and military areas;
- On rooftops, fences, gates, and infrastructure;
- Along private property lines, roads, bridges, and other vulnerable areas.
The barrier may be used as a stand-alone solution laid directly on the ground or installed on existing fences using mounting brackets for added protection.
Advantages and Features
- High effectiveness: The Egoza concertina barrier creates a strong physical and psychological deterrent.
- Flexible deployment: Can be used on flat surfaces, slopes, rooftops, and more.
- Compact storage: Transported in a compressed form and easily deployed on-site.
- Shape retention: Its spring-loaded structure regains shape after deformation.
- Long service life: Made from corrosion-resistant materials, designed for up to 25+ years of use.
Materials and Quality
The Egoza concertina barrier is manufactured from galvanized or stainless razor wire with a high-carbon steel core. The blades are stamped from 0.5–0.6 mm galvanized steel tape and clamped around the wire core. The connecting clips are made from stainless or alloy steel and ensure long-term resistance to corrosion.
Accurate spacing, reliable assembly, and consistent force in compression guarantee the durability and effectiveness of the barrier in a wide range of environmental and operating conditions.
Legal Use and Trademark Protection
As with all Egoza-branded products, the concertina barrier can only be sold or installed under this name with a proper license from the trademark owner. Any use of the name “Egoza” for similar-looking barriers without such authorization is a violation of intellectual property rights.
The trademark owner ensures compliance not only with the visual labeling but also with the technical quality, so that consumers can trust the designation “Egoza concertina barrier.”
Additional Configurations
Beyond standard single concertina barriers, variations include:
- Enhanced Egoza wire with thicker blades or core;
- Limit cables to control uniform deployment;
- Anti-vandal fasteners;
- Integration with intrusion detection systems.
These upgrades allow customization of the Egoza concertina wire barrier for specific applications and threat levels.
