Super C-Post Specified for Texas WETT High-Security Infrastructure Project In Big Spring, Texas.
U.S. Fence & Gate delivered a high-security fencing installation as part of the Texas WETT Program—an initiative supporting critical energy transmission infrastructure across the state. As a transmission service provider, WETT develops and operates high-voltage infrastructure designed to deliver reliable power across Texas, making perimeter security a critical component of these facilities.
For infrastructure projects like this, material selection goes beyond simply meeting specification requirements. Long-term durability, structural performance, and lifecycle cost all play a major role in designing a perimeter system capable of protecting essential assets for decades.
A Closer Look at the Super-C Profile
Gregory’s Super-C steel post was specified for the project—a high-strength fence post engineered for demanding applications including substations, transmission corridors, utility yards, and other critical infrastructure environments.
Super-C is available in 0.130" and 0.150" wall thicknesses and is formed from 60,000 psi minimum yield steel, exceeding typical ASTM F1043 performance requirements for industrial fence framework. The increased strength translates directly to higher beam load capacity and improved structural performance under stress.
Beyond strength alone, the profile itself is engineered for long-term field performance:
- Open channel design helps reduce moisture retention, limiting internal corrosion compared to closed tubular posts
- Continuous galvanizing prior to roll-forming provides a uniform 2 oz. zinc coating on both interior and exterior surfaces for long-term corrosion protection
- Roll-formed construction delivers consistent dimensional accuracy and dependable structural integrity across large-scale installations
When paired with high-security infill systems such as welded wire or expanded metal mesh, Super-C serves as the structural backbone of an anti-climb, anti-cut perimeter system engineered specifically for critical infrastructure protection.
Contractor Profile: U.S. Fence & Gate
Since 1995, U.S. Fence & Gate has specialized in commercial, industrial, and high-security fencing systems across the United States. The company has completed projects for airports, military installations, utility providers, and other critical infrastructure facilities where perimeter security is essential.
Their capabilities extend well beyond installation, providing clients with design assistance, engineering support, project management, and integrated security solutions tailored to each site’s operational and risk requirements.
From anti-climb mesh systems to controlled access integration, U.S. Fence & Gate delivers complete perimeter protection systems designed for long-term reliability in demanding environments.
That level of expertise is critical on projects like WETT, where fencing is not simply a boundary line—it is part of a larger security strategy protecting infrastructure communities depend on every day.
Built for Critical Infrastructure
Critical infrastructure demands more than standard materials. It requires heavy-duty fence posts designed to maintain performance, durability, and security over the long term.
With Super-C specified into the Texas WETT program and installed by an experienced contractor like U.S. Fence & Gate, the result is a perimeter system built to meet the demands of high-security utility infrastructure:
- High-strength American-made steel
- Long-term corrosion protection
- Engineered performance for critical applications
