Types of Egoza Barriers

Types of Egoza Barriers include concertina, flat, mesh, pyramid, and mobile structures, each offering specific design, installation, and application characteristics. These engineering solutions provide effective perimeter protection for a wide range of facilities — from warehouses and restricted areas to temporary checkpoints, private estates, and national borders. All barrier types are based on Egoza razor wire, known for its high mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, and ability to create a real physical and psychological deterrent.

A key advantage of Egoza products is the wide range of configurations available, allowing you to choose a solution tailored to your specific needs — compact and discreet for urban environments, large and intimidating for industrial zones, or mobile for fast deployment in the field. Despite their differences in appearance, all barrier types share high deterrence efficiency, ease of installation, and compatibility with other security systems.

Egoza Concertina Wire

The most well-known and versatile option is the Egoza concertina barrier, which consists of Egoza razor wire coiled into a spiral. Each coil is connected to the adjacent loops using special clips, forming a stable cylindrical structure. These barriers are used at all types of sites, from rural properties to strategic military facilities. Diameters range from 400 to 1500 mm, making it possible to select the optimal size for any operating conditions. Concertina wire can be installed on the ground, atop fences, or on rooftops. It can be deployed manually and does not require complex infrastructure. Thanks to the dense loop spacing and sharp blades, the spiral provides effective deterrence even without active surveillance.

Egoza Flat Barrier

When a traditional spiral cannot be used due to limited space or architectural constraints, the Egoza flat barrier is applied. It is formed from parallel loops arranged in a single plane. This structure is ideal for mounting on existing fences, railings, balconies, and building façades. The flat barrier offers lower injury risk while maintaining strong security performance, making it well-suited for urban areas, industrial facilities, and locations with high aesthetic standards. Common abbreviations include PBB (Flat Security Barrier) and ZKR-P (Flat Razor Barrier).

Egoza Razor Mesh

Where a continuous protective surface is required, the Egoza razor mesh is used. It is a sheet of reinforced tape stretched into diamond-shaped cells, similar to wire mesh but with sharp blades. Razor mesh can function as a standalone fence or be added to existing structures for reinforcement. Thanks to its flexibility, light weight, and modularity, it is suitable for non-standard surfaces, openings, gates, as well as for protecting windows, technical installations, and storage areas. Egoza razor mesh takes up minimal space while providing maximum coverage density.

Egoza Pyramid Barrier

For areas with difficult terrain where posts or fences cannot be installed, the Egoza pyramid barrier is the optimal solution. It consists of multiple concertina coils arranged in a pyramid shape and connected together. This structure is stable without additional supports and can be deployed on slopes, embankments, shorelines, and other hard-to-reach locations. The most reliable anchoring method involves screwing piles into the ground and welding rebar rods placed inside the coils to the piles. Due to their size, volume, and resistance to breach, pyramid barriers are used at high-threat sites.

Egoza Mobile Barriers

Modern perimeter protection demands fast deployment capabilities for temporary facilities and emergency response. Two mobile solutions address this need:

• Egoza mobile barrier on frame – a concertina coil mounted on a foldable frame for manual deployment. Used by police, security services, and military units to block access routes, guard camps, and secure perimeters during public events.
• Vehicle-deployed mobile barrier – a pyramid structure deployed on the move from a truck or trailer. This is the fastest and most efficient way to secure large areas, forming hundreds of meters of barrier in just minutes.

Both solutions are designed for repeated use and do not require extensive personnel training. The barriers are easy to transport, compact in storage, and adaptable to any terrain.

How to Choose the Right Barrier Type

The right choice depends on multiple factors: installation purpose, terrain characteristics, availability of support structures, required protection level, and time or budget constraints. For example, a concertina barrier is suitable for general use, a flat barrier fits dense urban environments, a mesh serves well in hybrid installations, and a pyramid barrier is ideal for critical sites and difficult landscapes. Mobile systems are essential where fast deployment and perimeter flexibility are priorities.
