Securing Mt. Vernon Public Works: A Carnahan‑White Showcase

At Carnahan‑White, we pride ourselves on delivering top-tier fencing solutions suited for critical infrastructure, and our work for the Mt. Vernon City Public Works department exemplifies just that.

Project Overview

When Mt. Vernon’s Public Works team needed to secure their facility, Carnahan‑White delivered a comprehensive solution:

• Installed 1,900 feet of sturdy 6-foot tall chain-link fencing
• Integrated a top tier of barbed wire for enhanced perimeter protection
• Included operated gates to control vehicle and pedestrian access

The result is a secure, controlled perimeter that balances functionality, safety, and municipal needs.

Why Chain-Link Was the Ideal Choice

Chain-link fencing is a trusted solution for municipal and public works sites like this one because:

• Durable and dependable: Constructed from galvanized steel, it resists rust and damage from Missouri weather.
• Cost-effective security: Provides long-lasting protection without overshooting budgets.
• Low maintenance: Requires minimal upkeep, ideal for busy public facilities.
